An African-American nuclear chemist from Washington, DC, won the 2017 edition of Miss USA on Sunday night after telling the audience about her conservative political viewpoints.
Kára McCullough, a 25-year-old nuclear chemist who works for the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission, told the audience how she doesn't necessarily view herself as a feminist and said that health care is a privilege and not a right.
She also won plaudits for wearing her hair natural and curly throughout the competition.
The event, which featured beauties from each state and the nation's capital outfitted in dazzling dresses and swimsuits, came to an end on Sunday night during a two-hour finale at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center on the Las Vegas strip. McCullough will now be able to go on to compete in the Miss Universe contest.
The finalists included the women representing Minnesota, the District of Columbia and New Jersey.
The runner-up was Miss New Jersey Chhavi Verg, a student at Rutgers University studying marketing and Spanish.
The second runner-up was Miss Minnesota Meridith Gould, who is studying apparel retail merchandising at the University of Minnesota.
McCullough, the 65th crowned Miss USA, is a 25-year-old chemist working for the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission as a physical scientist. She graduated from South Carolina State University with a degree in chemistry and a concentration in radio chemistry.
'I'm extremely thankful for this opportunity,' she said after the event. 'I just want to encourage so many women nationwide to find their passion in any subject possible and understand that nothing is difficult if you really, truly put the work in for it.'

Miss conservative! African-American nuclear chemist who 'doesn't like to call herself a feminist' and says health care is a 'privilege' is crowned Miss USA
Yeah, well ass-lee judd or gloria steinmart will snatch that crown right off her head if she keep that up.
Catch all of the pictures at the link...
It is great to hear, but also a shame that these attributes have become so rare that when they appear it’s a news story.
The audience applauded!
If there is one thing the liberal media hates it is a Black Conservative.
More power to her. She deserves to be rewarded for speaking the truth. Unfortunately, she will be vilified for being a normal human being.
She sounded fantastic when asked about healthcare, stating that it was not a right. But shortly thereafter, backtracked and insisted that is should be a right. Was with her up till that point.
Yep. The lefty thought police got to her pretty quickly after her original statement.
