Miss Puerto Rico Suspended After Anti-Muslim Rant

Too bad beauty doesn’t always equal brains.
Miss Puerto Rico Destiny Velez has been suspended indefinitely after she fired off a series of vicious anti-Muslim tweets in response to the “We Are All Muslim” protests led by director Michael Moore, the Atlanta Journal Constitution reports.
The 20-year-old Velez directed her angry tweets at the film director — who created a buzz last week when he held up a sign reading “We Are All Muslim” outside of the Trump Tower and shared an open letter online claiming that, unlike Trump, “we are not a country of angry white guys.”
In her tweets, Velez said, “Muslims use our constitution to terrorize USA & plant gas stations,” before later adding that Muslims “terrorize this country & many others.”
Velez’s remarks prompted the Miss Puerto Rico Organization to issue a statement calling her comments a poor representation of “the integrity and esteem of our program.”
