Miss America Contestants Asked to Condemn President Trump

Miss America 2018 on ABC aired September 10th and throughout the show, donations for hurricane relief were solicited for those affected in both Texas and Florida. Never fear, though. Politics dominated the final question competition and yes, it was all about President Trump.

Breaking with the tradition of one question per finalist in the final round of competition, this year the pageant decided to ask two questions of each – described as one serious and one playful. The serious questions were saved for the last five finalists. Four of the five questions were political:

Sparks: There are multiple investigations into whether Trump's campaign colluded with Russia on the election. Well, did they? You're the jury: guilty or innocent and please explain your verdict.
..
Cagle: Last month, a demonstration of neo-Nazis, white supremacists and KKK in Charlottesville, Virginia turned violent and a counter protester was killed. The president said there was shared blame with quote very fine people on both sides. Were there? Tell me yes or no, and explain.
..
Menounos: 195 countries signed the Paris Agreement, in which each country sets non-binding goals to reduce man made climate change. The U.S. is withdrawing from the agreement citing negligible environmental effects and negative economic impact. Good decision, bad decision? Which is it, and why?
..
Lipinski: A recent poll found slightly over half of Americans favored leaving confederate statues in place while others want them removed. Keep them or get rid of them? What’s your vote and why?

Honestly I've never watched one of these things so I don't know if federal investigations and neo-nazis are usually a hot topic, but I get the feeling these politically charged and politically slanted questions were only asked to reinforce the media narrative against Trump. I could be wrong. Maybe they asked about NSA domestic surveillance and ATF gunrunning in years past.

I guess a good question/discussion for the thread would be why is politics infecting everything these days, why can't we have a hot babe contest without involving Russia?

Or we can listen to Styx and call it a day

Mz. Samoa would probably be the winner every time, though.

Although a brief unsafe image search indicates I may have been incorrect about my assumptions regarding Samoan women. Samoa is now on the map.
