She told us that yellow is the color of joy and celebration and that anything red is Jessica Rabbit. Jeannie Mai, whose usefulness at Miss USA and Miss Universe was once questioned by Missosology, was recently the symbol of #hateTrump but #savethesash movement. Her job as a commentator in both pageants has a personal touch to it. She gets to interview the girls up close and that she delved into their opinions and feelings.

She said it’s all about the girls and brushed aside the political side of things. But with Trump calling the reigning Miss Universe Paulina Vega as hypocrite, a raw nerve was touched. For Jeannie Mai, it was the last straw.
