According to the dethroned beauty queen, the organisers told her to run separate social media accounts – one where she could voice her opinions and an ‘apolitical’ one for the contest. However, despite creating a second Facebook account, she kept getting complaints about her pro-Trump messages and criticism of the group Antifa on her personal page. Miss Nevada State 2019 winner Katie Williams has had her title revoked by the Miss America pageant organisers, and believes she lost her throne due to her conservative political views. Katie Jo Williams, a member of the US Army National Guards and a combat veteran, learned on 18 August that she’d lost the title and been banned from competing in the upcoming Miss America contest. In a statement posted on Instagram, she said the pageant coordinators told her via emails that she was “too political” to be involved, and that the only way to stay in the contest was to delete political posts from her Facebook page. However, she added, the organisers failed to address her requests to clarify what content they found to be in breach of their ‘No Politics’ rules. Williams has created a separate Facebook page for the pageant, devoid of political statements, but she claimed that the organisers continued to voice their disapproval in personal communications of what she was posting on her personal account. These posts, in her words, included a picture of herself wearing a red ‘Trump 2020’ hat as well as expressions of support for the United States and criticism of the leftist political organisation antifa. Williams had regularly received calls from the pageant director, Susan Jeske, but insisted that she would only communicate via email for the sake of her own safety. “I stopped taking your calls because every time you were on the phone with me you told me you agreed with my political opinions and then in writing would softly scold me for them,” she said in a letter to Jeske, according to screenshots she shared on Twitter. Williams has also published alleged screenshots of online exchanges with Jeske, which appear to show that the pageant director encouraged her to take pictures with President Trump and his son, Donald Trump Jr., while wearing the Miss Nevada sash and crown.

I don't disagree with the pageant. I think these kinds of events should be about their stated activities, not let anyone decide they want to create a platform for their own politics. For that matter, I'd like to see Hollyweird, the music industry, sports use that same standard. People don't want to see politics and don't want to know the politics of competitors. They just want their movies, music and sports. Not more politics being injected to absolutely everything in public life. It surprises me that people don't see this. Americans kinda hate politics and they rarely choose to have more of it mixed in with their entertainment.

Normally I would agree with you. I think these kinds of events should be about their stated activities, not let anyone decide they want to create a platform for their own politics. Apparently she was told to run separate social media accounts – one where she could voice her opinions and an ‘apolitical’ one for the contest. It appears that is exactly what she did. In addition, it appears she may have been tricked or duped by the pageant director who she claims "encouraged her to take pictures with President Trump and his son, Donald Trump Jr., while wearing the Miss Nevada sash and crown. " If that is indeed true, and she claims to have screenshots of those communications, seems pretty clear that this is a set-up from the start. I'm not a huge fan of Trump, but Miss Williams should not be punished for supporting him on her personal facebook account. It's not as if she wore a MAGA hat during the swimsuit competition or praised Trump in her acceptance speech.
You're wrong you should be a ableto have a personal life too. Nothing she did was wrong.
