Miss USA Crowned In Las Vegas
This year's Miss USA crown goes to Miss District of Columbia Kara McCullough. She's a 25-year-old scientist with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Damn! She will now go on to compete for the title of Miss Universe. Her win however wasn't without controversy. During an interview segment, she was asked if healthcare is a right or privilege (she said privilege) and about feminisim (she doesn’t like the term ‘feminist’, she prefers the term ‘equalist.’) People were not digging that.
The first runner-up was Miss New Jersey Chhavi Verg and the second runner-up was Meridith Gould of Minnesota.
