Of all the disgusting things he’s done and vile the proclamations he’s made like characterizing Mexicans as criminals, generalizing Muslims as terrorists and refusing to disavow the Ku Klux Klan – it wasn’t until the recent revelation of Donald Trump’s highly offensive and sexist remarks about physically assaulting women, that much of his support from within the Republican party have begun to waiver.
Despite claiming to have a great relationship with “the blacks,” there is plenty evidence to the contrary, which is why it came as no surprise when former Miss Teen USA, Kamie Crawford, unleashed a series of tweets on Wednesday which described her personal experiences with Mr. Trump that affirm the Republican presidential candidate’s racist and sexist tendencies.
The most Trump tea I'll spill for the day is this… when I was 17, I met Mr. Trump for the first time as Miss Teen USA. As the first WOC…

First she received the racist alert warning.
To win the title in almost a decade – I was forewarned prior to meeting him that, "Mr. Trump doesn't like black people. So don't take it…"

"…the wrong way if he isn't extremely welcoming towards you. If he is, then u just must be the "type" of black he likes."

The then 17-year-old, was extremely anxious to meet Trump.
Needless to say, I was totally caught off guard&super nervous bc this is supposed to be my boss I'm meeting – &he might not like me ALREADY?

She witnessed his racism in action.
Sure enough after I was warned about him, I saw him in action&witnessed him completely snub a black contestant at Miss Universe rehearsals..

While she was practicing on stage. Literally turned his back to the stage and made a face like he was going to vomit at the sight of her.

And then came the moment of truth.
So now I'm like f*ck this lol I don't wanna meet this guy & he projectile vomits on me at the sight of ME. pic.twitter.com/rjWQ6KTr0A

But her brand of black was “Trump approved.”
Luckily for me – I was the "type" of black he liked. He toted me around his buddies who were all there gawking at the Miss Universe girls..

…because she was so “well spoken,” of course.
Bragged about how "beautiful" and "well spoken" I was. "She's so smart, look how smart she is" he kept saying. Mind u, baby boy just met me🙄

She survived her personal encounter with Trump fairly unscathed, but in retrospect…
Of course I was over the moon – my boss likes me. I can survive the next 10 months of this. (I was maybe 2 months into my reign at the time)

But in hindsight, there was nothing to be excited about. This man is running for president of a country with ALL "types" of black.

When challenged about her political motivations, Crawford had this to say,
I'm actually not affiliated with any party. I just want the best candidate for the job that respects all people. Not just a chosen few. https://t.co/qpwCGkd3CQ

And this has been a public service announcement.
I have nothing to gain from talking about my experiences. But we as a nation have EVERYTHING to lose. Reasons why #ImWithHer 🇺🇸💙
