Miss Pennsylvania handed over her tiara to the Miss Universe pageant, saying she wanted no part of a “rigged” contest.
Pageant organizer Donald Trump says Sheena Monnin’s claims about pageant rigging are false and that she dropped out because she lost on Sunday. But the Miss Universe Organization believes Monnin resigned because transgender contestants are now allowed to compete.
In a transcript of the email said to be from Mommim and provided by the Miss Universe Organization, the 27-year-old from Cranberry, Penn., wrote that she refused to be “part of a pageant system that has so far and so completely removed itself from its foundational principles as to allow and support natural born males to compete in it. This goes against ever moral fiber of my being. I believe in integrity, high moral character, and fair play, none of which are part of this system any longer.
As always, the evolved, open-minded tolerance bullies couldn’t help but show their true misogynist colors. Like 2009 Miss California winner Carrie Prejean, Monnin was demonized and attacked with vile, vitriolic slurs.

Miss Pennsylvania is a cunt. I'm glad she stepped down. What a terrible, close-minded delegate for my diverse & culturally rich state. Sic.
