Trump-Supporting Beauty Queen Stripped Of Her Miss Michigan Title Over 'Racist, Islamophobic, And Insensitive' Social Media Posts

Gird your loins.

What I'm about to tell you is shocking:

A supporter of President Donald Trump posted insensitive material on Twitter.

Now that you're nice and nestled on your fainting couch...


Twenty year old Kathy Zhu tweeted correspondence with the organizers of Miss World America after they stripped her of her Miss Michigan title when Zhu's racist and islamophobic tweets from 2018 came to light.

Zhu claims that it was her "refusal to try on a hijab," that organizers considered prejudiced. In actuality, Zhu tweeted a photo of a booth at her school encouraging students to try on a hijab voluntarily.

The caption of the photo read:

 "So you're telling me that it's now just a fashion accessory and not a religious thing? Or are you just trying to get women used to being oppressed under Islam?"

Zhu also posted pictures of her text correspondence with the state organizers.

They confronted her with another of her tweets that read:

"Did you know the majority of black deaths are caused by other blacks? Fix problems within your own community first before blaming others"

What Zhu failed to mention is that this is true with practically every race in America—more crimes are committed against people of the same race as the criminal.

It wasn't long before more receipts emerged.


People were quick to let Zhu know how they felt.






Yikes.

When most of us have technical difficulties, we contact tech support or customer service.

But if you're President of the United States, just ranting on social media—then having your White House Press Secretary post a screenshot of your post on a social media platform people actually use—is apparently the answer.

Lauren Boebert Casts Doubt On Moon Landing During Wild Interview With Conspiracy Theorist

Colorado Republican Representative Lauren Boebert was criticized after she seemingly agreed with the conspiracy theory that the moon landing was faked in a wide-ranging interview with conservative conspiracy theorist Alex Stein.

The segment began with the duo casting doubt on nuclear weapons—Boebert even joked about needing "tin foil"—and moved into weirder territory when Stein praised Boebert for "vibing" with him on the topic of the moon landing. Conspiracy theorists have long alleged the moon landing was fabricated by NASA in what they claim was an elaborate hoax.

Rosie O'Donnell Calls Out Oprah For Attending Jeff Bezos' Wedding In Scathing Poem

Among the various celebrity hangers-on who attended Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez's Venice wedding, the one that seemed to generate the most controversy was Oprah Winfrey.

After all, a woman known for her progressive politics whose entire ethos is about teaching people how to be their best selves, attending the wedding of man who directly funded a fascist regime dismantling our country before our eyes doesn't exactly add up.
