Kim Kardashian is officially part of the 2016 election.
First, we gotta give you some backstory ...
The reality TV star was brought into the narrative earlier this week, when a 2013 interview with Donald Trump resurfaced showing him body shaming Kim over her pregnancy style. "She's gotten a little bit large," he told CNN Headline News' "Showbiz Tonight." "I would say this, I don't think you should dress like you weigh 120 pounds."
The clip made the rounds after Hillary Clinton brought up Miss Universe Alicia Machado during Monday night's debate, in an attempt to highlight Trump's negative remarks about women in his past. "One of the worst things he said was about a woman in a beauty contest," she explained, "and he called this woman 'Miss Piggy,' then he called her 'Miss Housekeeping' because she was Latina."
Trump doubled down on his opinion during an interview with "Fox & Friends" on Tuesday. "She was the worst we ever had. The worst. The absolute worst," he said. "She was impossible. She was a Miss Universe contestant and ultimately a winner, who they had a tremendously difficult time with as Miss Universe. She was the winner, and she gained a massive amount of weight, and it was a real problem. We had a real problem. Not only that, her attitude. We had a real problem with her."
But he wasn't done yet. Early Friday morning, Trump took to Twitter to blast Machado even more, seemingly slut shaming her over a sex tape which nobody can even prove exists.
Wow, Crooked Hillary was duped and used by my worst Miss U. Hillary floated her as an "angel" without checking her past, which is terrible!
@realDonaldTrump
Using Alicia M in the debate as a paragon of virtue just shows that Crooked Hillary suffers from BAD JUDGEMENT! Hillary was set up by a con.
@realDonaldTrump
Did Crooked Hillary help disgusting (check out sex tape and past) Alicia M become a U.S. citizen so she could use her in the debate?
@realDonaldTrump
So ... how does this all come back to Kim?
Clinton joined the Twitter fray this morning, blasting Trump in a series of tweets for his words on both Kardashian and the former beauty queen.
This is...unhinged, even for Trump. A few notes. https://t.co/WURWs6aJ5f
@HillaryClinton
What kind of man stays up all night to smear a woman with lies and conspiracy theories?
@HillaryClinton
Alicia deserves praise for courageously standing up to Trump's attacks. And he has the gall to blame her—and say he "helped"?
@HillaryClinton
Trump obsessively bullies Rosie O'Donnell—an accomplished actor. He insulted Kim Kardashian for her weight—when she was pregnant. Pathetic.
@HillaryClinton
We've heard Donald's insults for years, and his policies reflect this disregard—even contempt—for women.
@HillaryClinton
While Donald continues day 5 of his Machado meltdown, we'll be in Florida talking about national service. You'll want to watch.
@HillaryClinton
Hillary's Kardashian name drop comes after the reality star endorsed the Democratic candidate over the weekend.
"I stand with Hillary. I'm with her. I believe Hillary will best represent our country and is the most qualified for the job. This year, I'm not just voting for myself, but also for my children, and I took that into careful consideration when I made my decision," she explained on her official website. "Now that I have made my choice I want to be clear... I would never judge anyone based on their political or religious beliefs. I believe that both candidates have the intention of making the country a safer and stronger place for every American, they just have different ideas about how we get there."
