I thiink that was a "loaded" question and shouldn't have even been asked in that kind of setting. No matter
WHAT her point of view or what she said on the subject, she loses.
SOMEONE would have been offended. I think a beauty pageant is a very inappropriate venue to mix with politics or religion. It has no place there. And the judges should refrain from asking questions that have tones of either subject. These 2 posts (about Miss USA) are only a bit
. They're not about jokes, but they
are about "bad taste." Just
my take.
