The high moral standards of a transphobic beauty queen

Miss Pennsylvania, Sheena Monnin, has come out swinging against both the Miss Universe competition and transgender contestant Jenna Talackova.

She wrote on her Facebook page,“Effective immediately I have voluntarily, completely, and utterly removed myself from the Miss Universe Organization. In good conscience I can no longer be affiliated in any way with an organization I consider to be fraudulent, lacking in morals, inconsistent, and in many ways trashy. I refuse to be part of a pageant system that has so far and so completely removed itself from its foundational principles as to allow and support natural born males to compete in it. This goes against every moral fiber of my being.” She adds,“In my heart I believe in honesty, fair play, a fair opportunity, and high moral integrity, none of which in my opinion are apart of this pageant system any longer.”

She also claims that Miss Universe is rigged and that she saw a list containing the names of the final five contestants while the competition was still ongoing.

This dumb bitch has more Botox in her head than brain cells and has taken the term “sore loser” to a whole other level. If she really believed in “fair opportunity” she would’ve not only supported Jenna, but competed without the help of a plastic surgeon.

Donald Trump, who owns the Miss Universe organization, has said he plans to take legal action against Sheena for talking shit about his pageant (but, of course, could care less that she’s talking shit about Jenna).

“We’re going to be suing her now,” Donald said about the allegations. Why sue her, Donald? Just send your immoral sons to hunt her like helpless animals in a gated African reserve. I hear they’re quite good at that. “She made a very false charge and she knows it’s a false charge,” he continued. A very false charge, ladies and gentlemen, not just a false false charge! You know what that means: Donald Jr and Eric are sharpening their pitchforks!

Sorry, Miss Pennsylvania, but at least the elephants and leopards are safe today. Better you than them, as far as I’m concerned. “I have no shame, I hunt and eat game fake baked bigots!”
