In a powerful moment during the Miss America pageant, Miss Texas, Emily Carter, expressed a more definitive stance against white supremacy than President Donald Trump has managed in the wake of the Charlottesville rally. The event, held on Sunday night, featured contestants from all 50 states addressing pressing issues, including climate change and foreign relations. However, it was Carter’s response to a question about Trump’s remarks on the violent protests that truly resonated.
When asked by entertainment journalist Alan Brooks whether there were “fine people” among the white supremacists, Carter did not hesitate. She stated, “It’s clear that the rally was a terrorist attack. President Trump should have spoken out sooner to ensure that every American feels safe. That is the most important issue we face today.” In just 15 seconds, her condemnation of hate groups was more profound and direct than anything Trump had articulated since the violence erupted weeks earlier. The impact of her words was felt widely, with social media users and even celebrities applauding her for her clarity and conviction.
Although she finished as fourth runner-up, while Miss South Dakota was crowned Miss America, Carter garnered immense support online for her courageous stance. It’s evident that her powerful message struck a chord, reminding us all of the importance of standing firmly against hate.
