Our very own celebrated beauty queen Mary Ester Were did us justice at the recently concluded Miss Universe 2017 competition after emerging among the top 6. So why is everyone throwing shade at the Kenyan beauty queen after she did our nation proud for the three weeks she was competing?
During the question and answer segment, comedian/TV show host Steve Harvey asked Miss Kenya for her opinion on Donald Trump's presidency. Miss Kenya then appeared to hesitate and soon after delivered the most jaw-dropping answer, that trended for several days. Trust Kenyans on twitter to go ham on the beauty queen.
Here's her answer to the Trump question: “Politics ... ahh OK let me just start again. Donald Trump, having been elected as the President of the United States, may not have been the choice of many people living in the United States because of the divided support system for the outgoing President Barack Obama, who has supporting an upcoming woman President ... who was supposed to be a woman President Hillary Clinton...So, so many people oppose his position. But I feel that once [Trump] took up his position, he was able to unify the entire nation ,”
Ester Were has come out to clear the misconception that she supported Trump in her statement, citing that she used the words "Unify The Entire Nation" to mean that after Trump's election, people got united against him.
