A Donald Trump aide in Florida resigned Friday over concerns she has with the direction of the campaign, according to Bloomberg.
“It is clear the campaign is now going in a direction I am no longer comfortable with and I have decided to move on,” Healy Baumgardner, a longtime GOP operative, told Bloomberg.
The resignation follows a series of late-night tweets from Trump’s account directed at former Miss Universe Alicia Machado, whose story of insulting treatment by Trump was cited by Hillary Clinton in Monday’s presidential debate.
When he was a top executive with the Miss Universe pageant, Trump called Machado “Miss Piggy” and “Miss Housekeeping.” Machado was crowned Miss Venezuela in 1996.
Here’s Trump’s newest attack on Machado:
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!

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.

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?
