Her broadside against Trump comes as Clinton has been seeking to change the subject since Friday’s news about the renewed FBI scrutiny related to her use of a private email server while she was secretary of state.

Clinton, who called Trump “someone who wants to bully us,” was introduced at the rally by Alicia Machado, the former Miss Universe pageant winner whom Trump berated after she gained weight and the subject of a massive attack on Twitter in the aftermath of the first debate.

Machado, a former Miss Venezuela who recently became a U.S. citizen, told the crowd she is voting for Clinton and recalled how Trump had called her “Miss Piggy” and “Miss Housekeeping.”

“It’s really clear that he does not respect women,” Machado said. “He just judges us on our looks. He thinks he can do whatever he wants and get away with it.”

She also suggested that Clinton’s election would be a victory for Latinos.

Clinton’s campaign has highlighted Trump’s treatment of women more intensely since the emergence of the 2005 “Access Hollywood” video in which Trump is heard bragging about kissing and groping women without their consent.

Clinton referenced the tape in her remarks, as well as the 12 women who have come forward since the video was published by The Washington Post to accuse him of behavior consistent with his words — which Trump has strenuously denied.

Later Tuesday, the Clinton campaign released three new ads featuring Republican voters who decided to back her after the emergence of the “Access Hollywood” video. Those featured include an Air Force veteran from Virginia, a mother of two from Texas and a father of two from Arizona.

“I was rationalizing Donald Trump’s behaviors until I heard that tape,” Don McVaugh, the Air Force veteran and a lifelong Republican, says in one ad. “That was the last straw. I don’t want my granddaughter thinking it’s okay to be treated that way, and grandson growing up thinking that’s how you should treat women.”

Clinton aides said the new ads would air in seven battleground states.

Clinton’s attacks on Trump’s treatment of women follow a day in which she repeatedly argued that he doesn’t have the temperament to control the nation’s nuclear arsenal and conduct its foreign policy.

Before her appearance here, a senior aide told reporters traveling on her plane that Clinton is in the midst of a stretch where she is trying to “sharpen the choice” for undecided voters.

The goal is “to reframe and refresh the choice for those voters who are in the middle or have gone back and forth between Trump and Clinton,” said the aide, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to more freely discuss campaign thinking.
