Sorry, I didn't catch it verbatim. Basically that she was asked a politically charged question by "Judge #8" because of his own personal and hidden agenda and has been vilified for giving a sincere and honest answer - that the President and Secretary of State would have given as well. She has a constitutional right to free speech that her grandfather fought for in WW2, and it is unacceptable that someone in America should have her character assassinated for exercising it.
No anger (held back a few tears) but spoke forthrightly and in plain speech. (She's no politician, that's certain enough.)
Go, Carrie...do NOT let them silence you! What an inspiration, young lady!
Wonderful speech by Miss California. Classy and tough.
Won't answer the question about which side he's on in the gay marriage issue.
That's odd.
Wasn't he in violation of his contract by asking a question like he did?
Trump is a shameless self-promoter, not very good at the real-estate business, had bad hair, and can be a jerk. However, one redeeming characterstic is that he seems to favor people who are honest and speak their mind, over people who say what they think their audience wants to hear.
Trump would love to have Judge #8 back.
Good grief - I’ve seen more skin at the local beach and on the nationally televised Victoria Secret fashion show.
Guess Perez Hilton will just have to suck it up and...never mind.
Beauty Trumps the Gay Beast.
Did Trump point out that the two people, on HIS right, were from the CA pageant? Who ever the woman is, I wonder why she is wearing such a dress. It looks more like evening wear than a daytime press conference. (Talking about bareing oneself)
Trump asked Carrie’s mom and dad to stand up. Carrie’s mom is a mighty fine looking woman too!
WOW! HER SPEECH WAS INSPIRING! Her toughness in the face of such hate and attacks is a great example to other women or anyone under attack for their beliefs! She showed a lot of emotion and you could tell she felt it most of all when she spoke of her parents. Trump is handling the media in a fantastic manner. WHOOHOO!
Owooooooooooooooo!
Score one for the good guys.
There are actually some newer photos to be found on the web that are significantly... “racier” than these. In at least a couple, her nipples are exposed (although in the versions I've seen, they're covered with little stars added via some sort of software like Photoshop).
Nonetheless, I applaud the decision.

It is obvious that a lot of sincere prayers have been answered for this young lady today!
Shanna Mokler (sp) is a tart. She may be a former pagent winner but her behavior over the last few years is not worthy of a beauty queen.
