This is America, folks.
Philadelphia to be exact.
Looks just like him!
🤣🤣🤣 This happened on Independence Mall near the Liberty Bell.
I'm guessing liberals loved this.
CNN reporters Laura Coates, Brianna Keilar, and Danny Freeman were just eating it up:
VIDEOS AT LINK................
Yes, Kiya Burgess, a black woman, won the Ben Franklin lookalike competition. And let me tell you, I've seen the copyrighted images of the event, and there were definitely a boatload of people there who actually looked like Ben Franklin.
Glad you got to cover this with such glee, CNN! Happy for you!

I don’t know what her competitors looked like, but I can see some merit to the judges’ verdict.

“Yes, Kiya Burgess, a black woman, won the Ben Franklin lookalike competition.”
Did she bring someone to represent Ben Franklin's held-to-service help?
To: Red Badger

We're not like the Left. Outraged all the time.
After all, it was the 4th of July. Good for her to celebrate the holiday.

Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) must be proud.

Did Disney sponsor this contest?

She does look a bit like him, but is that a compliment for a woman?
To: MinorityRepublican
Agreed. I have no problem as long as an American won.
