Aaron P. Bernstein/Getty Images(NEW YORK) — Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill fired back at Donald Trump’s criticism of former Miss Universe Alicia Machado’s weight gain via Twitter Wednesday.
The D women Senators have talked & we’re concerned about Donald’s weight. Campaign stress? We think a public daily weigh-in is called for.

The Missouri senator’s tweet came after Trump appeared on Fox News Tuesday to defend his criticism of Machado, who said he called her “Miss Piggy” when she gained weight after winning the Miss Universe Pageant.
“She was the winner, and, you know, she gained a massive amount of weight,” Trump said. “It was a real problem.”
