Clinton Camp: We Won’t Respond to Trump’s ‘Degrading Language’
The poll does not stop here, however, because 59 percent have also said that they find Donald Trump unfavorable. Congressman Jeff Fortenberry objects to the characterization fellow Republican Donald Trump has made of Muslims.
As televised on Fox, the contest was down to Ariadna Gutierrez Arevalo of Colombia and Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach of the Philippines when Harvey, a first-time Miss Universe host, proclaimed Gutierrez the victor after a long dramatic pause. The newly crowned Miss Universe reveals in a new interview that she keeps asking her manager and others on her team if she really won because her emotions are still all over the place after Steve Harvey accidentally crowned Miss Colombia by mistake.

Hell, Trump himself said that he “probably radicalized” one of the San Bernardino shooters with his Muslim-focused policy proposals.

Los Angeles trailed by 13 at intermission but outscored the Nuggets 32-16 in the third to take an 83-80 lead. Tuesday is the penultimate game Bryant will play in the Mile High City. “Kobe!” in the waning seconds.
“I have to apologize”, Harvey said, and continued to tell millions of people on national television that Miss Philippines, Mia Wurtzbach, was the real pageant victor. “For me (she was robbed) as the real victor”.
“I do think that she’s very affected by all this”, Maria Isabel Nieto, Colombia’s consul general to New York, told The New York Post.
Former pageant owner Donald Trump, who was quick to mention that he made a lot of money off of the sale of the pageant, tweeted out a response that it would have never happened had he still been the owner of the pageant. “The first runner up is Miss Colombia”.
That same month, Trump sold the organization that includes the Miss Universe, Miss USA and Miss Teen USA pageants to entertainment company WME-IMG. It was my mistake, it was on the card…
And soon after, he had to “correct his congratulations”, later posting, “Adriana Gutierrez, you are still our Miss Universe!
Go in front.’ So that’s when I walked to the front of the stage and I was just waiting for my crowning moment”.
“To me, our queen is and will remain Miss Universe”.
“I also thought it was very big of Steve Harvey to admit it”, she said.
