(SL) – Back to Back by Drake should’ve rang out following the 2017 Miss USA Pageant. It was a good show with a very diverse group of ladies. But as they were informed by Pageant officials early in the week. They only needed one of the.
What’s more than their dresses, how fit they are those swimsuits and even their occupation or education status is where these young women come from. What they have overcome. Kara McCullough definitely has a story to tell. Some of it was share through FB Mother’s Day dedication to her mother.
Happy Mother’s Day to the strongest woman on earth. You never allowed your circumstances to define or control you. I often think about how you raised and loved three children that aren’t biologically yours. And when people asked you how many kids you have you proudly respond, “Five.”
ve.” That’s a true testament of a mother’s love. Thank you for taking me and my siblings around the world to experience worldwide culture. Thank you for having my back even when I was wrong. Thank you for teaching me to never limit myself. Thank you for calling me every morning to talk before class and work. Thank you for instilling qualities of a leader, team player, and lover. I love you forever and always. Just know everyday is YOURS. I LOVE YOU.
hem for their entire lives.”While there was plenty to celebrate in the final moments, the final three ladies went through several big tasks before a winner was crowned, but Kara was the one who walked away with the crown.
Miss Minnesota was the second runner-up and Miss New Jersey was runner-up for the title.
In the Final Question round, the final three woman were each asked, “What do you consider feminism to be?” One comment about Health Care had fans nervous for a moment. McCullough believes that Health Care is a privilege not a right. was asked whether affordable health care for all U.S. citizens is a privilege or a right, and she said it’s a privilege.
Kara said, “I’m definitely going to say it’s a privilege. As a government employee, I’m granted health care. And I see firsthand that for one, to have health care, you need to have jobs, so therefore we need to continue to cultivate this environment so that we’re given the opportunities to have health care as well as jobs for all Americans worldwide.”
Girlllllll! With #MissUSA being a top trending item on Twitter, plenty of those tweets featured complaints about Miss D.C. losing the social media crowd by stating her beliefs that viewed affordable healthcare as a privilege.
“#MissUSA Miss District of Columbia was amazing throughout the competition tonight…she definitely gets my vote!”
“I’m conflicted. I’ve been pulling for Miss DC from the beginning but her answers were… questionable. But Miss NJ killed that part… #MissUSA”
“Even though D.C. just lost my vote, her dress is beautiful though #MissUSA.”
“Miss #DC!! Brains&beauty. Nothing in life is free, healthcare = #privilege while we do strive to help as many Americans as we can! #MissUSA”
“Let’s go #districtofcolumbia! You are fighting for your beliefs! It’s time to stop having politically correct beauty pageants! #MissUSA”
“Miss District of Colombia would have my vote! #MissUSA”
“I voted for Miss D.C. 55 times and then she said that healthcare was a privilege and not a right…bye #MissUSA.”
“Wasn’t a huge Miss D.C. Fan until I heard her answers. Now I’d be perfectly okay if she won. Loved her answers #MissUSA”
“What!? D.C. STILL WON WITH ALL THOSE HORRIBLE ANSWERS!? Well I guessed right I guess #MissUSA”
“Well that’s America today. A POS who says health care is a PRIVILEGE wins #MissUSA. I’m done.”
The Judges on the other hand weren’t swayed. Your Miss USA 2017 is Miss District Columbia, Kara McCullough
