Did you ever think you'd see the day a Miss America contestant would scold the President of the United States?
Well, that day was Sunday, and it was courtesy of Miss Texas Margana Wood.
"I think that the white supremacist issue -- it was very obvious that it was a terrorist attack -- and I think that President Donald Trump should have made a statement earlier addressing the fact and making sure that all Americans feel safe in this country," Wood said Sunday night during the Q&A portion of the evening. "That is the No. 1 issue right now."

'Despacito' Co-Writer Says Hit Proves Trump Is 'Small Minded,' 'Hispanic Culture Not Going Anywhere' (Exclusive)
View StoryWood's bold statement took only 15 of the allotted 20 seconds she was given, and elicited a round of applause from the audience.
Some people are even arguing that the question itself sent a message to Trump, simply by including the terms "neo-Nazi" and "white supremacists."
"Last month a demonstration of neo-Nazis, white supremacists, and the KKK in Charlottesville turned violent and a counter-protester was killed," judge and magazine editor Jess Cagle said to Wood. "The president said there was shared blame with 'very fine people on both sides.' Were there? Tell me yes or no, and explain."
Miss Texas may not have won Miss America last night, but she won over millions of Americans. See the Twitter party that ensued below.
Miss Texas--a white woman--showed more integrity in 20 seconds than Trump has known all his life.#MissAmerica
