Some Colombians blame Trump for Miss Universe mix-up
He added: ‘I would recommend that they go have a lovely ceremony, which is good for the brand and good for Miss Universe, and do a co-winner’.

Harvey says it was his mistake and that he would take responsibility for not reading the card correctly that named contestant Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach this year’s victor and Colombia the first runner-up.
A message from Miss Universe Colombia.
“Miss Universe 2015 is Philippines”, Harvey said, ending the suspense. “Thank you for voting for me”.
“The entire country, and our family, was overcome with emotion”, Alvaro Arevalo, the Colombian runner-up’s cousin, told Blu Radio in an interview Monday. The glittering crown was then promptly placed on Wurtzbach’s head. He held up the card for the camera.
Miss Colombia for Miss Congeniality? For me, Miss Colombia is Miss Universe and will continue to be Miss Universe.
Politicians from both Colombia and Philippines congratulated their contestants. Harvey awkwardly walked back to the stage and had an announcement to make: “OK folks, uh…”
Even President Juan Manuel Santos had something to say.
Some believe that Donald Trump is still part owner of the organization and did it as payback to humiliate Colombians after Miss Universe 2014 Paulina Vega lashed out at him for his anti-immigration remarks. This would never have happened!’
On Wednesday, the 24-year-old beauty participated in the pageant’s “National Costume” round, wearing what many have deemed to be a “culturally insensitive” costume: a totem pole.
Amazingly, Trump toned it down a bit the next morning, telling the TODAY show, “Steve Harvey is a great guy, I like the way he got out and did it. It simply was a awful error”.
“Things happen”, he said.
Naturally, Harvey’s spectacular flub quickly made the rounds online. “Wait, sorry, it’s Monday”. “We witnessed that tonight when the wrong victor was initially announced”.
