Beauty queen dethroned after conservative views ruled 'insensitive'

A beauty queen known for her pro-Trump conservative views was stripped of her Miss Michigan title and dismissed from the Miss World America pageant this week after the organization found her social media presence “offensive, insensitive and inappropriate.”

Kathy Zhu, 20, president of College Republicans at the University of Michigan, tweeted screen shots of the email correspondence with the Miss World America organization on Thursday.

"They stripped me of my Miss Michigan title due to my refusal to try on a hijab in 2018, my tweet about black on black gun violence, and 'insensitive' statistical tweets," Zhu asserted Thursday.

After Zhu's story went public, she received a torrent of feedback, both positive and negative.

"I woke up this morning with an overwhelming amount of support; I can't thank you all enough," she wrote to her supporters Friday. “I am glad this story came to light because this is more than just some beauty pageant, this is about the prejudice views against people with 'different opinions.'"
