The Miss America pageant has become a source of political controversy yet again.
With all the hubbub over Muslims right now, liberals such as Michael Moore are rallying to their defense, with the filmmaker picketing outside Trump Tower with a sign that reads “We Are All Muslims.” Not everybody, however, is buying Moore’s argument.
Seemingly out of nowhere, Miss Puerto Rico herself, Destiny Velez, had a heated exchange with Moore over Twitter, saying that the God of Muslims was not the same as the God of Jews and Christians and that there was “no comparison” between Islam and the latter religions.
As you might have expected, a lot of people were angered by Velez’s comments, leading to the Miss Puerto Rico Organization suspending her for “actions and behavior contrary to the Miss Puerto Rico Organization.”

Islam is a disease. We need to stop it now in this country.
This has nothing to do with free speech, because the pageant is held by a private organization,not the US government. If that organization doesn’t feel like she represents their values, that’s their decision to make. As a citizen of a country under US control, she has the right to speak her mind via Twitter or whatever other social media. But in this case she failed to grasp the fact that she was representing more than herself when she chose to speak her mind.
What PURE c**p! F**K the pageant. Boycott it!
She is Right and the TRUTH hurts, people don’t want to hear the TRUTH!! Political correctness is BS!!
Noel Convarrubia -it would do no good to take it to court when muslims set on the fed and state and local justice seats . look it up -all we can do is vote them out and speak up for our constitutional rights and call evil for what it is .
