The new Miss America, Kira Kazantsev, isn't necessarily what you'd expect. She volunteered for Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand's campaign. Asked what issue women in the Senate should be particularly focused on, she spoke about military sexual assault—with a shout-out to Gillibrand. She's spoken out about having been in an
abusive relationship in college. And there's something else, something making Kazantsev
the target of conservative venom: She interned with Planned Parenthood "where she supported staff members who provide sex education in the community and at local schools."
The horror! Naturally, conservatives can't hear "Planned Parenthood" without thinking "abortionabortionabortionabortion," even though in fact abortion is only 3 percent of what Planned Parenthood does.
Well how do you like that. Baby killer supporter is now Miss America! t.co/LOHYpY438d

Kazantsev's talent was singing Pharrell's "Happy" while using a cup for percussion a la
the cup song. Conservative-land is pretending she only used the cup and didn't also sing, because pettiness is the name of the game when someone has the audacity to support Planned Parenthood.
Last year's Miss America choice also brought ugliness, remember, because Nina Davuluri became the first Indian-American Miss America.
