I work 35-40 hours a week at decent pay, $12 an hour, pay my taxes, and I still can't afford healthcare nor am I eligible for it through my employer since I'm still technically part-time. I think I deserve affordable health care. I'm a human being contributing to this society.
If only everyone could just cut through the BS, the name calling, the ignorance, the race wars and all the victimhood bullshit, then maybe the country could finally pay attention to legit cases like yours and fix it instead of just yelling at each other over nothing.
Jasmine, I am assuming you live in the US, since you make more than 80% of the planet at 12 dollars per hour. If I were you, I would try to stop being a victim and say thank you to your God, because ultimately you have the right to change jobs upwardly at any time you choose.
why is everyone saying she's so smart? You did listen to the WHOLE interview, right? Where she sat down with Strahan? And she clarified her position and her hopes that healthcare *IS* a right for the world someday? That's 100% different than her position on the stage. So how is she smart in your opinion when she has given two completely different answers?
Silly Goose her position in the clarification is that she claims to want AFFORDABLE healthcare to be a right to everyone in the world. That's not even the standard established apx. 70 years ago in the UDHR that healthcare is a human right, not access to 'affordable' healthcare
Muse Russell23: her position in the clarification is that she claims to want AFFORDABLE healthcare to be a right to everyone in the world. reply: Perhaps that is her position. But that's not what she said. Again, this is word-for-word what she said at the 3:00 mark of this video: "I hope and pray that healthcare is a right for all worldwide". This is a very different statement than what you wrote that she said. Now, regardless of anybody's own position on this topic, I'm simply pointing out that said she one thing on the stage, she has said something very different here in this interview. VERY different.
Silly Goose agreed and both of them were atrocious. she said she believes healthcare should be a "right" in the sense that "affordable" healthcare should be available to everybody, which is not a right. a right means you get it, period. not that you have the opportunity for something affordable in your grasp. hideous
Totally. If I rip butts and drink all day and develop cancer than I deserve the best medicine can offer. Regardless of whether or not I've contributed anything to society. By that thinking, I have a right to clean water from the tap, a cell phone, free heating (cause if I don't get heat I'll freeze to death), and someone has to provide me and my kids with food. Cause it's a right not a service or privelage
It is easy to sit in front of your computer and type "letting stupid people die off in the streets," but when you see it first hand and actually see these people die in front your eyes. Then, you come on the computer and type that again.
Nah. I think the backlash against her health care response is the fact that she's Black and didn't tow the Democrat line. p.s. I'm Black, and I think universal health care is a good thing. I respect that she has her own opinion. As for me, I look at Scandinavia and drool with envy.
I know Chantelle....I didn't want to but anytime blacks folks step out of the realm of entertainment and voice their opinions they don't get rational and reasonable responses in return.
I watched this response back in 2017 andmy jaw just dropped to the floor!! I thought about it again today in the midst of this pandemic in which millions have contracted covid 19, 200,000+ have died from it, millions have lost their jobs and with those lost jobs, employer-provided healthcare insurance!! I am wondering whether Ms. McCullough would like to revise her statement today???? ....and no, it’s not about cyber bullying or trying to impede her freedom of speech, but when you give an answer like that, on such an important topic, please expect to hear from those who disagree with...
'I am convinced there is only one way to eliminate these grave evils, namely through the establishment of a socialist economy, accompanied by an educational system which would be oriented toward social goals.' -- Also Albert Einstein in "Why Socialism?"
Its is a very important story guys! We have to get the word out. How dare she have such an opinion. LOL JK, Way to go Miss USA. Freedom of speech and opinion at its best. Look at all the offended people in the comments LOL. get a life.
There is no language in US Federal documents that claim that citizens have a right to Healthcare. She was correct in you need to have a stable economic foundation so that you can protect yourself with Healthcare which is purchased. A third of this country is morbidly obese. Do you want to pay for these people and their poor lifestyle choices?
*I'm definitely gonna say [affordable healthcare for all US citizens] is a privilege. As a government employee, I'm granted healthcare. **_And I've seen firsthand_** that for one to have healthcare you need to have jobs.* What's the fuss? She stated the *fact that healthcare is today tied to the privilege of having a job,* a privilege not accessible to everyone. That doesn't in any way mean she's satisfied with that fact. If anything I would say her answer was somewhat neutral, and understandably so for a contestant. Unfortunately as is often the case in this tweeter age, people have become so entrenched in their opinions, barely listening to others, and would hear what they want to hear, not what has actually been said. I'm afraid her clarification here won't change much.
Miss DC is/was amazing! I wish I could be that damned intelligent. We can clearly see that the only people whining are the ones with real life issues. They're just mad that there are beautiful, intelligent, graceful people like her in the world. The fact that she is super beautiful and doesn't use that to her advantage in the work world says EVERYTHING about her. You are the best, Ms. McCallough!
Wwwwwwoooow! She is stunning! This is honestly the first time I ever came across an intelligent Miss U.S.A. Hell any beauty pageant contestant. She should be proud of that alone.
Her position on the answering the question on healthcare was an honest opinion. It's a privilege to have healthcare and she explained why it's a privilege and that privilege was granted by being employed. Millions of people don't have health care because they cannot afford an insurance payment.
One major problem is we think access to healthcare insurance means we have access to healthcare, no. In fact, many times insurance actually limits your access to healthcare. Of course many will not understand that that means because they've been trained to think the first way without realizing what that really means.
oh my goodness this makes me so mad. these days nobody can give their own opinion. all these feminists need to realize THAT EVERYBODY IS EQUAL. women have the same exact rights as men and they think they don't and that they need to justify that. they just drive me crazy.
Bleh What's your explanation of stats that prove men get more pay than women? Obviously SAYING men and women have equal rights is not enough. EQUAL RIGHTS ARE BEING VIOLATED is what is meant when it is said women don't have equal rights! For example, by LAW employers should not discriminate against Minorities yet SOME do. So the conclusion that Minorities do not have equal rights to employment is a valid conclusion. That kind of common sense example can't be hard for you to understand....
I think her answer was actualy Good! She was right on point ..it IS a Privilege "currently" ... The question wasn"t " what are your thoughts on healthcare SHOULD IT BE a right or privilege ...it was IS IT a Right or Privilege
Privileges are commodities. Commodities are privileges Services are commodities Healthcare is a service. Therefore healthcare is a privilege. The doctor in your town doesn't owe you anything Isn't forcing people to pay for services they are not eligible to use theft?
Awesome! young lady, thank you for your service and I am proud to have you represent my country as an Officer and as a Miss USA. I am not sure how close I agree with you. Health care is defiantly a right, but so is gun ownership. I will not ask any one to buy my next gun so they should not ask me to pay their medical bills. Freedom of speech is a right, but the publisher might not print my book nor should every tax payer have to contribute money to have it published. If you really need medical care in this country there are ways to get loans and money.
To be fair, she could've blamed it on how the question was phrased. Since it was "healthcare IS a privilege or a right?". And currently, it's a privilege, though it should be a right.
Personally, I think Kara McCullough is WRONG on both feminism and health care as a privilege and NOT a right. As for feminism, it is a very misunderstood term, and one of them, being anti-male, is NOT true. I feel sad when there are prominent women who happen to be against feminism for years and that is wrong. As for health care, I believe that it is a RIGHT because how can ANYBODY, like Ms. McCullough, explain that to millions of UNINSURED Americans?
most bankruptcies are from illness, typically cancer & those people have health insurance. I have leukemia & I have paid hundreds of thousands of dollars in copays,deductibles,premiums. people don't realize the expense til they get sick, the reason healthcare is so expensive is the same reason why a car is expensive you're paying for advertising by private corporations to be middlemen between patient & doctor & charge a fortune for it. for profit healthcare is insane, it makes no sense the only people that are for it don't understand it. it's just frustrating even idiots have opinions & unfortunately don't realize they don't have the aptitude to comprehend it a complicated topic.
I love her very much, im a filipino and she should be the miss universe 2017. 👍🏼 Though shes a scientist but shes not nerd...she has poise and a beautiful woman.
Look. I love Kára, but the things she said about healthcare is just BOGUS. We're already paying more for it than every single developed nation on this planet, From Canada and Britain to South Korea and Cuba, since they all have that free Universal Healthcare System and we don't. This is sad. REAL SAD. Like hello, Healthcare is a basic human right, people. It's about time we get on it, America.
im on board with her equalism. i can understand her view on healthcare... however, there are those with job(s) and can't afford healthcare. i see room for improvement that rest of us can work on in healthcare.
Congrats Kara, a true intelligent no nonsense woman who reached for the stars and succeeded. A brilliant woman Peace and God Bless. :) Hard Work = Privilege.
Healthcare is a personal responsibility that as a free citizen I have the right to pursuit. "Government Mandate" healthcare aka forcing you to participate in a business transaction against your own will for the profit of BIG INCs is pure fascism.
She seems intelligent; nonetheless, feminism is about genders being equal (check the definition). I don't see the problem, yet I see how she'd been misunderstood.
I think she hasn't experienced the worst time or very difficult to to get through for her entire life... if she had experienced that she was totally stuck in the bottom of life and had felt that she won't be able to overcome, she wouldn't say health care is privilege... it should be a right.
If only the people who are against her that are twisting what she said not doing that then it wouldn't have been so painful to listen to their side. Because some are pointing out reasonable cases but I don't want the annoying, inaccurate statements to get any credit or boost for their own claims just because of those.
trueglitterdust....since you are an expert on beauty, you should be a judge next year. No woman should be crowned Miss USA unless she can pass your ideal of beauty.
You obviously are twisting my words and being intentionally obtuse.( I mean)....five other people understood my point. I am not going to respond to you any further since you lack comprehension. Peace.
Anybody got some negative shit to say about my beautiful cousin direct it at me. I understand ppl have different views but to call my blood out her name is low. Be respectful because she definitely got intelligent and ignorant ppl in her family we a couple 100 deep all over the 50 States and West Indies.
Feminism - the advocacy of women's rights on the ground of the equality of the sexes. Feminists don't hate men. This issue concerns men and women. She is actually uninformed about that topic.
I thought feminism was in fact equalism or striving for equalism. Think the main issue is with language and definitions these days, unfortunately. Dilutes the real fights.
She is more mature and older than many other contestants in the Beauty Circus (Who expects political advice from a pretty 18 year old ???). - She comes clearly from a good background - and cannot translate her intellectual capacities to the top issue of healthcare or her empathy ! to people who are less fortunate than herself and people in her "bubble". And despite having a background in science she is not an independent thinker or precise with her definitions (since when was feminism about being against men ??) A cheap shot at feminism to gain points from men who hopefully admire her, or conservatives ?? That young lady might want to update her history knowledge about the suffragettes and how they clawed the voting rights from the male establishment - nationwide in 1920 - and they got their share of ridicule and accusations of being man haters. If a group is asked to give up power or share power they usually try to discredit the other side. - She profits from what former feminists have fought for - and falls for the disparaging narrative - like I said: a cheap shot. If you are pro equality AND like man (no contradiction at all) there are other ways to communicate that w/o disparaging feminism. Her line was a polished version of ME - a FEMINIST ?? Yikes - I am not one of them ugly, ridiculous (read unpopular with men, not admired by men) feminists. She is blissfully unaware of the sacrifices of women who called themselves feminists who she can thank for that she can even attend a college and then have a job in science. And no, if no one had ever fought for equality of females, women still would not have these rights. Right now, MY FOCUS would not be that much on feminism - more on fighting neoliberalism, global warming, the appearing right wing forces etc. Plus as always the Military Industrial Surveillance Complex. The assault on civil liberties. - That said if all these issues could be resolved in a satisfying manner it would disproportionally help minorities and women, - and women worldwide not only in the wealthy countries.
She's right though. In this country, healthcare IS a privilege. But it SHOULD be a right. I think liberals are just mad she didn't emphasize it in her answer...
I work 35-40 hours a week at decent pay, $12 an hour, pay my taxes, and I still can't afford healthcare nor am I eligible for it through my employer since I'm still technically part-time. I think I deserve affordable health care. I'm a human being contributing to this society.
If only everyone could just cut through the BS, the name calling, the ignorance, the race wars and all the victimhood bullshit, then maybe the country could finally pay attention to legit cases like yours and fix it instead of just yelling at each other over nothing.
Yup I said it That is so USA today. Having to work 2 jobs to get what 10 years ago was enough with one.
hell NO you are not. You are a worker whose ONLY reason to exist is to make the rich richer and you do NOT deserve the things they take for granted.
Are you single or married? Based on your comment, you should be able to qualify for Medicaid
Jasmine, I am assuming you live in the US, since you make more than 80% of the planet at 12 dollars per hour. If I were you, I would try to stop being a victim and say thank you to your God, because ultimately you have the right to change jobs upwardly at any time you choose.
WTF?!?! she gave a completely different answer on health care on stage and now on GMA!
Sounds like she back pedaled on her stance with health care.
Johnathon Swierski the word is clarified, her word, and with emphasis. I kinda thought that was what she meant in the first place.
No she clarified her position.
Kenneth that was what I thought she meant at first too
why is everyone saying she's so smart? You did listen to the WHOLE interview, right? Where she sat down with Strahan? And she clarified her position and her hopes that healthcare *IS* a right for the world someday? That's 100% different than her position on the stage. So how is she smart in your opinion when she has given two completely different answers?
Silly Goose I said the same
Silly Goose thank you

If you pay taxes healthcare and education is your right
Adnan Kashogi if you are alive, healthcare is your right
Totally. If I rip butts and drink all day and develop cancer than I deserve the best medicine can offer. Regardless of whether or not I've contributed anything to society. By that thinking, I have a right to clean water from the tap, a cell phone, free heating (cause if I don't get heat I'll freeze to death), and someone has to provide me and my kids with food. Cause it's a right not a service or privelage
That's a little extreme. But I guess there would be benefits to letting stupid people die off in the streets
Adnan Kashogi woooorrdddddd!!!!
It is easy to sit in front of your computer and type "letting stupid people die off in the streets," but when you see it first hand and actually see these people die in front your eyes. Then, you come on the computer and type that again.
"equalism over feminism"...ive been saying this for years. genius. what a beautiful individual.
you're stupid since feminism is equalism
Olivia Rhodes that doesn't work especially since it dismisses and ignores the oppression of people
Olivia Rhodes what if in the 1960s they just said oh let's fight for all rights and not specifically talk about racism
That's what intersectional feminism is.......
Exactly. The whole basis of feminism is on equality lol.
I think what she meant wasn't that healthcare SHOULD be a privilege but rather that currently it IS a privilege. She just articulated it poorly.
freedom of speech as long as you dont disagree with our liberal beliefs
Nah. I think the backlash against her health care response is the fact that she's Black and didn't tow the Democrat line.
p.s. I'm Black, and I think universal health care is a good thing. I respect that she has her own opinion. As for me, I look at Scandinavia and drool with envy.
They're just mad because she's not out there twerking
Obsidian SeventyOne No one wants that, no one
Obsidian SeventyOne That was the basis of their opinions on her comments?
If she was twerking the liberal would be hollering "you go girl! Do you!"
How you even managed to bring twerking into the discussion is amusing to me to be honest.
I know Chantelle....I didn't want to but anytime blacks folks step out of the realm of entertainment and voice their opinions they don't get rational and reasonable responses in return.
I like her a lot! shes so beautiful and really smart.
I watched this response back in 2017 andmy jaw just dropped to the floor!! I thought about it again today in the midst of this pandemic in which millions have contracted covid 19, 200,000+ have died from it, millions have lost their jobs and with those lost jobs, employer-provided healthcare insurance!!

She has it all! Beauty, Brains and Confidence!
Young lady you don't have to explain anything. You are no.1and they will get over it.
"great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds" Albert Einstein
'I am convinced there is only one way to eliminate these grave evils, namely through the establishment of a socialist economy, accompanied by an educational system which would be oriented toward social goals.'
-- Also Albert Einstein in "Why Socialism?"
not really we're facing the same BS today war and more war, children dying, racism it's the same issues
Albert Einstein was a social democrat. He would face palm at her dumbass comment about Healthcare.
@Angelgirl I don't think it matters anymore since she has done a complete 180 on her comments.
neosoontoretro You are right about that. I just found the original comment really ironic.
the question was IS healthcare a privilege or a right, not if it SHOULD be, seriously people these days just love to twist your words around
Its is a very important story guys! We have to get the word out. How dare she have such an opinion. LOL JK, Way to go Miss USA. Freedom of speech and opinion at its best. Look at all the offended people in the comments LOL. get a life.

You go Miss D.C. USA!!
I LOVE HER . Miss Philippines, France and Colombia need to watch out .
This woman is amazing... I know her dad is happy.
Don't bash Kara please! Just don't I'm from Philippines and I love her

I love her, she is right. People are so annoying.
Biden: Blacks are not blacks if they are not socialist.
Miss USA: I was pressured to change my personal view to keep crown.
Don't bail out on your comment, Miss USA, what you said wasn't wrong at all!! It amazes me how people are so afraid to stand on they believe😔😢
CONSERVATISM IS THE NEW COUNTER CULTURE
Here we go again with conservatives nothingness.
Slade, you made a typo yourself. lol
They just expect all of those women to sit sill and look pretty, and she decided to not be silenced, and spoke her mind. Good for her!
this is a free country get a job
She cleaned that up or she would have lost that crown.
For once that we have an educated Miss USA that happens to have different views, just shows how narrow minded most people are.
She clever, she said what she needed to win as a black female, and then totally backtracks...
Her position on the answering the question on healthcare was an honest opinion. It's a privilege to have healthcare and she explained why it's a privilege and that privilege was granted by being employed. Millions of people don't have health care because they cannot afford an insurance payment.
Wow she IS a knock out and is completely educated! Good for her for being honest and really wants to bring ppl together
Michaels a good host. She did well and was articulate. Happy she stood her ground
I think when you work hard you get what you really deserve
Question 1 : Who were the people mad that a black girl won this same thing last year ?
what is wrong with people criticized her? She is helping kids what did you do
One major problem is we think access to healthcare insurance means we have access to healthcare, no. In fact, many times insurance actually limits your access to healthcare. Of course many will not understand that that means because they've been trained to think the first way without realizing what that really means.

Totally backpedaled. Hilarious!
Bravo! She is intelligent.
Privileges are commodities.
Commodities are privileges
Services are commodities
Healthcare is a service.
Therefore healthcare is a privilege.
The doctor in your town doesn't owe you anything
Isn't forcing people to pay for services they are not eligible to use theft?
Fine if you think we are not entitled to everything but if we pay taxes we should deserve to have basic healthcare. It is right when it comes to this.
so smart ,educated and articulate
Getting food is a life or death situation, does that mean you have the right to steal food from the store? Its the same thing.
Awesome! young lady, thank you for your service and I am proud to have you represent my country as an Officer and as a Miss USA. I am not sure how close I agree with you. Health care is defiantly a right, but so is gun ownership. I will not ask any one to buy my next gun so they should not ask me to pay their medical bills. Freedom of speech is a right, but the publisher might not print my book nor should every tax payer have to contribute money to have it published. If you really need medical care in this country there are ways to get loans and money.
Feminism doesn't mean anti-men. Feminism means women are equal as men. She clearly didn't know what feminism means lol
It's the movement not the dictionary meaning.
Christopher Tan that's exactly what the movement stands for... equality, not hating men.
OK what has Feminism done for men?
Christopher Tan too piggy back off that what has feminism done for women
very smart and educated
not really
Rusty Marriott watch your mouth disrespecting my family member.
And? Healthcare is a right sorry but not sorry
And? Her beliefs are asinine,
Rusty Marriott entitled to your opinion my blood still winning...💪
Come on girl don't you let them make you back down or I will be highly disappointed stay to your truth
To be fair, she could've blamed it on how the question was phrased. Since it was "healthcare IS a privilege or a right?". And currently, it's a privilege, though it should be a right.
Someone young women should look up to and the far left wants to tear her down what a shame.
All civilized country's have universal health care. America has to catch up.
Personally, I think Kara McCullough is WRONG on both feminism and health care as a privilege and NOT a right. As for feminism, it is a very misunderstood term, and one of them, being anti-male, is NOT true. I feel sad when there are prominent women who happen to be against feminism for years and that is wrong. As for health care, I believe that it is a RIGHT because how can ANYBODY, like Ms. McCullough, explain that to millions of UNINSURED Americans?
why this still on
Why is a scientist degrading herself by entering a beauty pageant
most bankruptcies are from illness, typically cancer & those people have health insurance. I have leukemia & I have paid hundreds of thousands of dollars in copays,deductibles,premiums. people don't realize the expense til they get sick, the reason healthcare is so expensive is the same reason why a car is expensive you're paying for advertising by private corporations to be middlemen between patient & doctor & charge a fortune for it. for profit healthcare is insane, it makes no sense the only people that are for it don't understand it. it's just frustrating even idiots have opinions & unfortunately don't realize they don't have the aptitude to comprehend it a complicated topic.
She is smart & beautiful!!
I love her very much, im a filipino and she should be the miss universe 2017. 👍🏼
Though shes a scientist but shes not nerd...she has poise and a beautiful woman.
A nuclear scientist parading herself in a bikini for others to judge her surgically enhanced body? I don't know what to think about that.
I'm so proud of you, good job Kara. We love what you said! Intelligent women are so beautiful inside too.
Look. I love Kára, but the things she said about healthcare is just BOGUS. We're already paying more for it than every single developed nation on this planet, From Canada and Britain to South Korea and Cuba, since they all have that free Universal Healthcare System and we don't. This is sad. REAL SAD. Like hello, Healthcare is a basic human right, people. It's about time we get on it, America.
im on board with her equalism. i can understand her view on healthcare... however, there are those with job(s) and can't afford healthcare. i see room for improvement that rest of us can work on in healthcare.
Question 2 (most important) : Where exactly (to whom) does science majorly belong to ?
Yes. Cancer patients are simply irresponsible.
Congrats Kara, a true intelligent no nonsense woman who reached for the stars and succeeded. A brilliant woman Peace and God Bless. :) Hard Work = Privilege.
Conservative women just have class in them. No twerking and all those shits/nonsense.
she privileged so she has never had to live without health care
norminahsharmony so working and gaining success do to her hard work makes her privileged?
they got to her
Strahan is saying "you look like a younger Nicole Murphy" lol
Healthcare is a personal responsibility that as a free citizen I have the right to pursuit. "Government Mandate" healthcare aka forcing you to participate in a business transaction against your own will for the profit of BIG INCs is pure fascism.
the health care always have to a right for each human being.
Has BRAIN no free lunch.Need reform to lower insurance cost....
She seems intelligent; nonetheless, feminism is about genders being equal (check the definition). I don't see the problem, yet I see how she'd been misunderstood.
the future of miss universe
I think she hasn't experienced the worst time or very difficult to to get through for her entire life... if she had experienced that she was totally stuck in the bottom of life and had felt that she won't be able to overcome, she wouldn't say health care is privilege... it should be a right.
And if people waste their body and get free healthcare, won’t they just screw their body again and go again for healthcare?
but she told the truth ..
she's amazing
she is good
If only the people who are against her that are twisting what she said not doing that then it wouldn't have been so painful to listen to their side. Because some are pointing out reasonable cases but I don't want the annoying, inaccurate statements to get any credit or boost for their own claims just because of those.
She's attractive but not gorgeous. Just an opinion.
trueglitterdust, I'am sure you are gorgeous, so be kind to people who are not.
I'm not disparaging her. I am just saying that for this competition, you would expect someone extremely beautiful....no offense to her though.
trueglitterdust....since you are an expert on beauty, you should be a judge next year. No woman should be crowned Miss USA unless she can pass your ideal of beauty.
You obviously are twisting my words and being intentionally obtuse.( I mean)....five other people understood my point. I am not going to respond to you any further since you lack comprehension. Peace.
trueglitterdust Are you kidding? She's stunning!!!
New Jersey should have won.
Anybody got some negative shit to say about my beautiful cousin direct it at me. I understand ppl have different views but to call my blood out her name is low. Be respectful because she definitely got intelligent and ignorant ppl in her family we a couple 100 deep all over the 50 States and West Indies.

I thought feminism was in fact equalism or striving for equalism. Think the main issue is with language and definitions these days, unfortunately. Dilutes the real fights.
WEAK!, BACKING DOWN NOW!?
weak
She is more mature and older than many other contestants in the Beauty Circus (Who expects political advice from a pretty 18 year old ???). - She comes clearly from a good background - and cannot translate her intellectual capacities to the top issue of healthcare or her empathy ! to people who are less fortunate than herself and people in her "bubble". And despite having a background in science she is not an independent thinker or precise with her definitions (since when was feminism about being against men ??) A cheap shot at feminism to gain points from men who hopefully admire her, or conservatives ??
That young lady might want to update her history knowledge about the suffragettes and how they clawed the voting rights from the male establishment - nationwide in 1920 - and they got their share of ridicule and accusations of being man haters. If a group is asked to give up power or share power they usually try to discredit the other side. - She profits from what former feminists have fought for - and falls for the disparaging narrative - like I said: a cheap shot. If you are pro equality AND like man (no contradiction at all) there are other ways to communicate that w/o disparaging feminism.
Her line was a polished version of ME - a FEMINIST ?? Yikes - I am not one of them ugly, ridiculous (read unpopular with men, not admired by men) feminists.
She is blissfully unaware of the sacrifices of women who called themselves feminists who she can thank for that she can even attend a college and then have a job in science. And no, if no one had ever fought for equality of females, women still would not have these rights.
Right now, MY FOCUS would not be that much on feminism - more on fighting neoliberalism, global warming, the appearing right wing forces etc. Plus as always the Military Industrial Surveillance Complex. The assault on civil liberties. - That said if all these issues could be resolved in a satisfying manner it would disproportionally help minorities and women, - and women worldwide not only in the wealthy countries.
Poor people should die is basically what she said what about people who are handicap and can't work should they die .
I agree on her point with feminist, but not so much on the healthcare, however why people so mad. That was just her point of view.
finally an actual beauty queen she favors an East African true beauty 💋😘😘
It's ok that people die then. I have healthcare. So the heck with everyone else?
Omfg i couldn't stop looking at her shes beautiful ❤😍❤! And congrats on your win!!!💪👍🔥
Who cares... 🤔 This person doesn't write policy.
totally out of touch and no empathy at all. Sad. all this and to be a minority, no excuses.
Shes smart and fine.
Good job Kara! Healthcare is a right!
Maybe Trump will recruit Miss USA for the S.T.E.M Executive Order he did...oops, my bad, not supposed to bring up those type of things on here.
She's right though. In this country, healthcare IS a privilege. But it SHOULD be a right. I think liberals are just mad she didn't emphasize it in her answer...
