Nothing gets past Rep. Renee Ellmers (R-NC).

During an election day campaign stop Tuesday, the embattled congresswoman shouted at a local GOP leader that it looked like she’d packed on a few pounds. It was caught on tape.

“You’re eating a little bit too much pork barbecue. Whoo,” Ellmers said in a ridiculous video posted by WNCN, a CBS-affiliate in North Carolina.

Ellmers–who would go on to lose her primary Tuesday night–directed her jab at Maggie Sandrock, a former county party chair, who told the news station that Ellmers “has become a mean girl on steroids.”

When pushed by CBS, Ellmers defended her comment saying that “She’s gained some weight. Yea. She’s put on a little weight.”

“Are you friends with her?” the reporter asked.

“Sure,” Ellmers replied.

Sandrock said she also considered Ellmers a friend, but “not a good one” because well, friends don’t call each other fat.

“I would consider her a friend, but certainly not a good one,” Sandrock said. “Good friends don’t tell you you’re fat or you’re getting fat. They may say, ‘Everything going well Maggie? You look a little stressed out.’

Seriously, do yourself a favor and watch below:

  1. The GOP. They eat their own kind, and also Pork BBQ. Not necessarily in that order.

  2. Nasty is as nasty does.

  3. Trump/Elmers All the Way. For 9th Grade President and Vice-President.

    “To add another wrinkle to the unusual race, Donald Trump endorsed
    Ellmers on Saturday, the first time the presumptive Republican
    presidential nominee has weighed in on a congressional race. Ellmers was
    the first woman in Congress to endorse Trump in March.”

  4. Well Ellmers, I think you will now have plenty of time to catch up with your friend and have makeup talk over NC pulled pork barbecue!
