LAS VEGAS (AP) — The Ms. America Pageant has taken away a woman's Ms. Nevada State 2019 title and both sides agree it stems from politics.
Las Vegas media outlets report that Katie Jo Williams said she was stripped of the title because she's a supporter of President Donald Trump and that she's a victim of political bias, while the pageant says Williams violated a rule against contestants publicizing their political beliefs on social media related to the pageant.
