Ex-Miss Michigan joins Trump reelection campaign after being stripped of title

Source: CBS News

A former Miss Michigan pageant winner, who was stripped of her title last week after several offensive tweets surfaced, has joined Trump's reelection campaign efforts. The official Team Trump twitter account welcomed Kathy Zhu on board Thursday, calling her a "patriot who has continued to stand for American values despite being stripped of her crown."

"I am so excited to now be part of the #WomenforTrump Coalition Advisory Board!" Zhu tweeted along with the announcement. "Let's get Trump re-elected for 2020."

Speaking at a Women for Trump event in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan Friday, Zhu claimed that being openly conservative is extremely difficult. "It's harder, I think, than coming out as, honestly, gay," she said.

<snip>

Zhu pushed back in a Twitter video, claiming discrimination against her conservative political views. "Little attacks like those really, really diminishes the value and the trust of the word, 'racism,'" she said.

Oh yes, of course, GOPers are SO discriminated against. It's their God given right to post racist tweets and to hell with anyone who thinks otherwise.

He grabs kisses and does what he likes because he's rich and famous.

THIS is what she wants to work for and with. What can I say?

I thought maybe a dumb blond joke, but, no, not fair, wrote that off.
How about not the smartest crayon in the box. No, that doesn't fit either.

Oh well, I'll leave it to extremely poor judgment.

"stripped" stopped reading and hollered "Hire her!" Either that, or someone thought it would be a good idea to add some color and diversity to the campaign.

What is it with Trump and sex workers...Oh wait....stripped of her title. Never mind.

And does Trump know Kathy was born in China, is an immigrant and is not a citizen? Does he have plans for putting her in a cage to die? If I were Kathy I would be very careful around that fat man. What is it with him and foreign sex workers? ...Oh right never mind.

I can't believe she said this: "Did you know that the majority of black deaths are caused by other blacks?" What a stupid, ignorant woman. "Did you now that the majority of white deaths are caused by other whites?" The logic of the statement is totally absent. I understand why she had to go into beauty pageantry, she's not the sharpest tool in the box.

She better not tell fat Trump what she told others: Whites should fix the problems in their own white communities first before blaming others. Just saying that she already has a target on her for other reasons. She needs to not draw fat Trump's attention to her.

and bad to stop what I was doing to look up and pay attention to see who this fucking moron actually was. That was the single, most ridiculous statement I have heard since the other fucking moron opened his vile mouth.

He will use her as his token Asian woman, next to Mitch's wife that is.
