Miss Puerto Rico has been suspended from participating in the Miss Universe Pageant after going on an anti-Muslim rant on Twitter. Destiny Velez accused Muslims of terrorizing the United States and asserted they planted gas stations. Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian (The Point) discuss on The Young Turks. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
"The reigning Miss Puerto Rico, Destiny Velez, has found herself indefinitely suspended after a Twitter fight with director Michael Moore as part of his We Are All Muslim campaign.
'Muslims use our constitution to terrorize USA & plant gas stations, the irate beauty queen ranted, adding, all what Muslims have done is provided oil & terrorize this country & many others!!!!!!'
The Miss Puerto Rico Association issued a statement announcing her termination, and (surprise!) Valdez apologized soon after. Watch the video above for the whole titillating story.*

Are there gas station seeds I could buy? Or does someone else raise them to the point where I can by the tiny gas station plants? How long do they take to reach full size, and do the prefer a sunny or a shady location?
Gosh, the very possibility of gas station plants has me all a-twitter.
