Miss Michigan Calls Out Her Home State at Miss America Pageant
Here she is...with harsh words for her home state. Miss Michigan went off script and spoke out against the mitten.
There may have not been a swimsuit competition at the 2018 Miss America Pageant but water was still controversial. Emily Sioma, Miss Michigan, introduced herself by calling out her home state and leveling sharp criticism at officials handling the Flint water crisis:
“...from the state with 84 percent of the U.S. fresh water but none for its residents to drink, i am Miss Michigan, Emily Sioma”
