Miss America yanks N.J. pageant's license, throwing congeniality out the window
NJ Advanced Media ^ | December 5, 2018

Posted on 12/06/2018 3:37:51 AM PST by SMGFan

n the weeks before the Miss America competition in September, various factions of the pageant faithful were at war over changes to the traditional Atlantic City event implemented by new pageant leaders.

Somehow, the pageant weathered the drama long enough to crown Miss America 2019, Nia Franklin, onstage at Boardwalk Hall.

Now, the pageant's internal strife is entering the public arena once again. The Associated Press reports that pageant leaders have terminated the licenses of several state pageants, including the Miss New Jersey pageant.

Miss America has already moved to replace the directors of five other state pageants. Now, the pageant's home state, along with Florida and New York, have been added to that group, which includes Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Georgia, and Tennessee as well as Colorado, where state leaders quit in protest.

"The reigning Miss New Jersey, Jaime Gialloreto, who hails from Woolwich Township, was among those who lamented the loss of the swimsuits."

Yes!

Feminists want to get rid of everything remotely related to femininity. This contest will soon consist of frumpy bitches.

The Feminazis won't be happy until the Miss America Pageant looks like the Wendy's Soviet Fashion Show commercial.

I understand she's a real nasty one, according to Fox News.

I’ve always celebrated the loss of swimsuits. ;)

Yes! Gretchen Carlson never failed to mention her ‘Miss America’ title whenever she was on Fox. She was let go in 2006.

Then she sued Roger Ailes and won a $20nmillion lawsuit against him.

I thought the contest was about beauty, sexy women, etc. What we need is a Mister America pageant, based on physique, good looks and accomplishment. No-one will complain that it demeans men.

Carlson is a money grubbing attention grabbing goon!!

It will be all trannies inside of 10 years.

Just like sports teams. Born women don’t have a chance since their victim status is so low compared to trannies.

It doesn’t matter to me, since the only women sports worth watching are volleyball, tennis and a few golfers. Maybe gymnastics and diving.

Either way no loss. And I stopped watching “Miss xxx” competitions 10+ years ago.

Is she taking testosterone? Just asking. I know there is a movement towards that sort of thing...

My dates were incorrect;(

Her contract with Fox News expired on June 23, 2016. On July 6, she filed a lawsuit against then Fox News Chairman and CEO Roger Ailes claiming sexual harassment.

No swimsuits, compulsory crown to men who think they’re women. Forget about it!

Many former contestants have also “lamented” the loss of the swimsuits.

I worked the Miss Virginia USA pageant the other week. This is a different pageant, but the premise is the same. They did have a swinsuit competion for the older cotentestants, the Miss Virginia Teen USA cotestants wore sports wear, top and shorts.

With all that said, the questions they asked the finalists were pure BS.

1) What do think about Transsexuals competing in pagaents?
2) What about Global warming?
3) What to do if a man at work gets a raise but you don’t ?

The whole thing smacked of some sleazy Hollywood type Porn recruitment schtick.

Think of it as Les Moonves’ cousin is looking for some girls to take care of his....
