So… ABC says these questions are equally difficult? One was about chemical warfare in Syria, the other about Miley twerking. #MissAmerica

How is a political question about Syria as difficult as a question about Miley Cyrus? ? #MissAmerica

One gets a question about Miley Cyrus "twerking" while others get questions about Syria and unemployment rates. Lol. TOTALLY fair. #Sarcasm
