Trump-loving Miss Michigan Kathy Zhu dethroned after old ‘racist’ tweets surface
A Trump-loving beauty pageant winner was stripped of her Miss Michigan title over the content of her social media.
The Miss World America contest “accused me of being racist, Islamaphobic and insensitive,” tweeted Kathy Zhu, who is Asian-American.
Zhu, the president of College Republicans at the University of Michigan, told the Detroit Free Press that the two now-deleted tweets in question were a comment on World Hijab Day and a statement citing statistics related to black deaths caused by other black people.
She said that Miss World America should be more specific and clearly define what “insensitive” means, as she does not believe anything she posted was insensitive. That didn’t stop what she sarcastically referred to a “the tolerant left” from blasting her on social media.
Miss World America did not comment despite repeated attempts to contact the organization, the Detroit Free Press said.
Zhu’s dethroning came days after President Trump held a “social media summit” at the White House to applaud right-wing social media provocateurs and complain about big tech’s handling of conservative voices online.
