Last night during the Miss America pageant, Miss Texas' Margana Wood was asked whether she agreed with Trump that there were "very fine people on both sides," referring to last month's demonstration of neo-Nazis, white supremacists and the KKK, along with counter-protestors, in Charlottesville, Virginia. Her answer surprised many, as she spoke her mind against Trump.

“I think that the white supremacist issue, it was very obvious, that it was a terrorist attack. And I think that President Donald Trump should’ve made a statement earlier addressing the fact, and in making sure all Americans feel safe in this country. That is the number one issue right now.”
The audience broke out in cheers and applause before she was finished speaking.
She did not win the pageant – Miss North Dakota Cara Mund came in first place.
