Miss Texas praised for condemning Donald Trump during pageant Q&A

by

Although she didn't win the title of Miss America, Maragana Wood's comments about Donald Trump definitely stole the show.

Twitter users have praised the Miss Texas competitor after she condemned the US President for his less than adequate response to the Charlottesville violence.

During the question and answer section of the pageant, Maragana was asked about the white supremacist rally that took place last month.

The host referred specifically to the comments made by Trump in which he stated that there was shared blame with “very fine people on both sides.”

She was then asked is she agreed with the statement and to explain her answer.

“I think that the white supremacist issue – it was very obvious that it was a terrorist attack,” she said.

“I think that President Donald Trump should have made a statement earlier addressing the fact, and making sure that all Americans feel safe in this country. That is the number one issue right now.”

Her quick response was met with cheers from the audience and of course, social media erupted with support fo the Miss America contestent.
