Miss Texas gives a far better answer on Charlottesville than Trump
Is anyone aware of any, uh, provisions in the Constitution that will allow Miss America to replace the current President of America?
The Founders *clearly* did not prepare for a time when a minor contestant at a national pageant had far greater judgement and understanding than our Commander-in-Chief. Alas, that time is here.
Just look at what Miss Texas, otherwise known as Margana Wood, had to say about Charlottesville during last night's event.
Unlike the President, Wood understands that there is no such thing as a good Nazi. I know, I know, it's complicated.
This isn't the first time Miss Texas has gotten a little bit political.
Wood built an LGBTQ-friendly platform called "You Belong," which hopes to curb bullying and encourage people to live without judgment.
She lost last night, but she won where it matters most -- among people that have a strong sense that fascism is not good.
