Miss USA, Asya Danielle Branch, Your Silence On Today’s Activities is Devastating…

Honestly, say something….

Around 3pm today, 6 days into the new year, it felt like a possible start to a second civil war as Trump supporters stormed into the Capitol building. With many glued to their television and cellular devices watching from any location, a friend of mine brought to my attention that there was one absent voice. One that wears a sash around her body and represents the United States of America on an international front for people invested in this particular hobby. That voice belonged to Asya Danielle Branch, Miss USA 2020.

Now, before I begin, obviously as Americans, we all have the first amendment right to free speech, and obviously we can use that amendment for silence as well, but this is unacceptable. We ALL witnessed a literal COUP on the United States government today and not a word was said from Miss USA or Miss Teen USA?

While it could be said that Miss Teen USA should not be involved in politics as much, you know who should be? The woman who claims to have had talks with President Trump while she was Miss Mississippi for the Miss America system! You know who should’ve spoken out against this injustice? The woman who sung at a Trump rally — whether contractually obligated to or not is irrelevant.

Politics aside, it’s ashame that Miss Canada opened her mouth about our situation in the US-of-A before Miss USA did. Seems like they have faster access to news in Canada than they do at the Miss USA & Miss Universe apartment in New York City.

In my opinion, the silence can only mean two things:

1. MUO has explicitly told both girls to not address this literal politcal turmoil (If this is so, shame on you MUO).
2. Asya must hold the belief that either what the terrorists — because they are terrorists and admitted to this themselves — did was alright or that she stands with them in any regard.

Which again, she is allowed to have her own political beliefs, but to not call out the MANY injustices that happened here today if you have the opportunity (Only one woman dying inside the capitol as opposed to the possible hundreds of black people that would’ve died had they stepped onto the first step of the capitol building, terrorists being walked down the stairs by the cops as if they were Cinderella and Prince Charming, but had then been black they’d be pushed and chased and maced down the stairs, the terrorists taking advantage of the fact that the one guard securing the capitol was a black man and basically chasing him inside to let them in, and you know the fact that it happened in the first place because these terrorists believe that they truly won this election because this president refuses to be a real man and concede) only shows that she believes that they were right in their actions, which is inherently wrong.

Asya Branch, no one cares about your memories from Miss America that you posted on your story today in the HEAT of a NATIONAL COUP. We want to hear that you disavow this type of behavior as our nations’ representative.

You have a platform now, a national one….use it.

So many of us would have.

As a Black woman in America, can you at least speak on the injustice that if they had been black, today would’ve ended drastically different? No Trump politics in there?

We’ll take anything at this point…

Just.

Say.

Something……………
