Scientist wins Miss USA, slammed for ‘conservative’ comments

A 25-year-old scientist from the District of Columbia who works for the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission was crowned Miss USA Sunday — and she did it after making some controversial comments about political issues during the competition.

Kara McCullough caused a firestorm on social media after she gave conservative answers to questions — saying she wasn’t a feminist and that she thought people need to have a job to have health care.

“I’m definitely going to say it’s a privilege,” McCullough said, when asked if access to medical care was a right, as liberals such as Sen. Bernie Sanders say, or a privilege, as many conservatives say.

She then added: “As a government employee, I’m granted health care and I see firsthand that for one to have health care, you need to have jobs.”

Later in the competition, McCullough and two other challengers were asked to explain what they consider feminism to be and whether they consider themselves feminists.

Miss District of Columbia replied that she likes to “transpose” the word feminism to “equalism.”

“I don’t want to call myself a feminist,” McCullough said. “Women, we are just as equal as men, especially in the workplace.”

McCullough, who graduated with a chemistry degree from South Carolina State University, said after the contest: “I believe we’ve come a long way and there is more work to be done. I think domestically we are making progress and I do believe that we will become equal one day.”

#MissUSA trended on Twitter, as many users criticized her answers.

“#MissUSA Miss DC just lost me with that answer….Affordable healthcare is a privilege? Girl bye,” tweeted a user named @dazella_may.

“DC just disqualified herself with that answer #MissUSA,” a user named Keeni Rodgers piled.

Others rushed to defend her.

“Black people hating on #MissUSA because of conservative positions need to stop acting like owned brainwashed slaves to the left,” a user named Darnell Wesh said of McCullough, who is African-American.

She will go on to compete in the Miss Universe contest.

“I’m extremely thankful for this opportunity,” she said after the event, which was held at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center on the Las Vegas Strip.

“I just want to encourage so many women nationwide to find their passion in any subject possible and understand that nothing is difficult if you really, truly put the work in for it.”

Well oh my God, we fear the consequences. I hear that you're the great political authority among your peer group at the nail salon. Next time you're in there gettin' your weave redone, you be sure and let Quashanda and T'eye-neesh'a know all about the Oreo Cookie, k?

I mean, damn, if she's lost Dazella, she'd better just give up her title right now, 'cause that's powerful stuff, yo.

Didn't they ask the contestants if they want "World Peace"?
She looks like a wonderful smart person who thinks for herself, and that makes the Lefties angry also.

She's right but didn't associate her answer with the correct principle. She should have explained that health care is provided through other's labor and no one has a right to other's labor. That would have ended the matter.

I have run into some people who equate being on the dole to actually working for the government.

These people have a serious disconnect from reality.

Good for her for speaking her mind.

Let me frame the counter point to yours. Curse, curse, curse, burn shit, call people names, burn some more of other people's property, then claim your violence and uncouthness is validated because of the civil unrest the decisive positions the right has caused.

There is no argument that will sway them, it's a right and you are killing trans black women with your racist, nationalist, misogynist ideals.

She's intelligent and thinks for herself, therefore she is a pariah to the Left. The Fasc-Left should be drowning in their own irony by now.

Unfortunately, I don't think logic would end the matter in her critics eyes, at all. She could have stated a better argument, certainly, but at least she's on the right track. Hopefully the heat she's now taking will inspire her to better understand and articulate why healthcare isn't a right, as she'll surely be asked over and over again about it by idiots in the media.

Of course you are right about her critics, but there is a population that is listening and can accept true principles when they hear them. But they need to hear them before Leftist zomboid scatacephally seizes them. People like this young woman need to capitalize on those opportunities before it is too late to make a difference.

A Chemistry degree? That would qualify as science right?

I'm thinking we could replace Bill Nye... you know, with an actual scientist. I feel she could get through to young men much more effectively.

They'll probably "pressure" her until she "clarifies" her remarks... I hope not, but it's certainly happened before in similar situations.

It would be great if she was invited to the White House. Although some of the underprivileged NFL players would shun her for attending. This young lady spoke her mind and is winning through her hard work. It's refreshing to see young adults that provide hope for the future of this country.
