No question is off limits for a Miss USA or any titleholder. The interview round tests the contestants ability to handle herself when faced that type of situation. Hawaii proved herself a worthy competitor with how she handled herself and answered her question; flawlessly IMO. A Miss USA should be able to handle anything that is thrown at her and both women handled themselves like queens and intelligent young ladies. Don't get upset with the organization for asking those types of questions. It's part of the game. You can't play the game, then you're out! Kudos to the new Miss USA and her first runner-up!
Pregunta inapropiada a miss hawaii. Cualquier aaaa.
Regardless of her question, she f'ed up by saying, "I would get that question, right"? And her answer was not clear. The obvious winner is Miss DC!
wtf was that question. That's just inappropriate to ask anyone. Whatever she chooses she loses. But DC gracefully answered her question and I'm proud of her.
Shes gorgeous!!
I feel like both questions are not fair😕
Clinton versus Trump? How can the organizer ask a stupid foolish question? That is something personal, oh dear.Actually Miss Hawaii did the right thing not to answer though she was caught off guard. Cheers from the Philippines
District of Columbia is beautiful and I'm happy she won, but that Harper's Bizarre (sp?) representative shouldn't have asked that question. That's not fair to limit her decisions and create a bias for the fans/voters. Her political party is her privacy.
Very unprofessional to ask who you are voting for on a broadcasted television show. These questions are extremely personal.
She is beautiful
shes so pretty!!!!!!

She deserves it but since she actually won, i wonder how much ass did she give to non black ppl in order to get crowned

That is an inappropriate question to ask who Miss Hawaii should vote for. Miss USA organization should be ashamed of themselves.
