Perhaps the most accurate meme I have seen recently.

For those who forgot just how awesome Margana Wood's answer was to a question that Donald Trump simply could not answer effectively, here is your reminder.

Miss Texas was asked if Trump handled Charlottesville badly. She, uh ... didn't play. 🇺🇸 #MissAmerica pic.twitter.com/5JMT4tBpeL

Like I said before, this woman could go far.

Turns out the new Miss USA from Texas is kind of a racist. I know right?

okay @MissTeenUSA ... The jig is up. I know y'all aren't going to keep someone who likes to use "nigger" casually. pic.twitter.com/vJeWk3a9S4

Karlie Hay—a.k.a. Miss Texas—was crowned Miss Teen USA last night. The paegant was, as Chrissy Teigen pointed out on Twitter, remarkably homogeneous, with five similar looking blonde-haired, blue-eyed girls in the final five. But, as Chrissy Teigen also noted, that is not the contestants' fault. 

What is one contestant's (Karlie Hay's!) fault, however, is her past propensity for using racial slurs on Twitter.

After I read this story I had to remind myself that Donald Trump sold the Miss Universe franchise, which also runs the Teen USA pageant, back in 2015. Because if he still owned it having a racist winner from Texas would make perfect sense.

However it appears he really dodged a bullet here. (Which not easy when it's fired by a Texan.)

Of course this Karlie Hay is very apologetic for her disgusting use of racial epithets now that the whole world knows about them: 

"Several years ago, I had many personal struggles and found myself in a place that is not representative of who I am as a person. I admit that I have used language publicly in the past which I am not proud of and that there is no excuse for," she wrote on Instagram. "Through hard work, education and thanks in large part to the sisterhood that I have come to know through pageants, I am proud to say that I am today a better person."

Yeah, right. 

2016's Miss Missouri becomes the first openly gay woman to compete for Miss America. Wait, did that say Miss Missouri?

Courtesy of ABC News:

Erin O'Flaherty has been crowned the 2016 Miss Missouri, becoming the first openly gay woman to win a state pageant leading to the coveted Miss America competition. 

“It’s certainly making history and I’m not sure I set out to do that, but I am the first openly gay Miss Missouri and contestant to head to Miss America so I am excited about that. But, mainly, I’m excited to represent the LGBT community,” O'Flaherty, 23, said on “Good Morning America” today live from St. Louis. 

“We’re underrepresented in public in positions of influence. So I’m excited to take that on and I hope that my presence will help with visibility for the community.”

Wow! I have to say that I would never have expected the first openly gay Miss America contestant to have come from Missouri.

Good for you Missouri!
