PAGEANT: Paulina Vega Lashes Back Against Donald Trump & Says 'Hypocrisy' Is Comical!
USA - Reigning Miss Universe 2014 winner Paulina Vega lashes back against business mogul Donald Trump as the latter called the beauty queen "hypocrite".
In a twitter post, Donald Trump called Paulina Vega a hypocrite, citing: "Miss Universe, Paulina Vega, criticized me for telling the truth about illegal immigration, but then said she would keep the crown - Hypocrite".
Miss Universe, Paulina Vega, criticized me for telling the truth about illegal immigration, but then said she would keep the crown-Hypocrite — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 5, 2015 The young beauty queen lamented the statement of Donald Trump through a published interview by Latina magazine:
Question: "What’s your take on Trump’s tweet about you yesterday where he called you a hypocrite?"
Paulina Vega: "The most comical is using the word: hypocrisy. But I think what I’m doing is the least hypocrite thing I can do by using my voice clearly. By not renouncing my crown has nothing to do with what I do or what I don’t do. I have a legally binding contract and legal relationship with the organization and it’s not so easy for me, like the artists have done, to renounce and say, “No. I’m not working for you anymore.” I have a contract of 1 year. So it’s a much more complicated situation, but we have to understand that Trump is a very polemic person. I’m going to keep going forward and refuse his comments to affect me. Miss Universe the organization and I are much more than what that man says on Twitter."
And here are the other questions answered by the reigning Miss Universe 2014 from Colombia:
Question: "Going forward, how are you going to deal with Trump when you have to make appearances or be in meetings with him?"
Paulina Vega: "I don’t know yet. But here’s a curious fact, I’ve seen him like 2 or 3 times during my seven months as Miss Universe. And now with his presidential campaign, I’m sure he’ll be even busier so I won’t be seeing him. But I don’t know."
Question: "In your times being in his presence, did he ever say anything racist or borderline offensive?"
Paulina Vega: "Not at all. Plus, the moments we shared were extremely short and with tons of other people at events. We barely had time to have a conversation. If he would have said something off color, I would have fainted."
Question: "Knowing what you know now, would you have participated in the Miss Universe pageant?"
Paulina Vega: "It would’ve been a really difficult decision for me. It would’ve been a joint decision between myself and my country Colombia’s pageant organization to settle upon the best solution on whether to participate or not."
As of writing, there are no reactions from Donald Trump.
