Miss USA
Boo’d for Healthcare Answer
… Still Takes the Crown

The new Miss USA says healthcare for all Americans is a privilege and not a right — and that belief earned her a ton of boos at the pageant, and on the Internet … but didn’t stop her from winning.
Kara McCullough, Miss District of Columbia, didn’t hesitate during the interview segment of the pageant Sunday night. She’s a scientist at the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, and said she’s learned you gotta have a job to have healthcare.
There were cheers and jeers … but mostly just jeers on social media. As one viewer put it … “Miss DC just lost me with that answer. Girl bye”
The judges clearly disagreed.
