The former Miss Arkansas 2016 was asked about her thoughts on the 2016 Democratic presidential candidate Hilary Clinton, to which her reply was, “If you’re trying to be leader of the free world, everything you say and do matters. And all of your actions are held to a higher standard. And unfortunately, the media does love to sensationalize everything. It’s hard to decide what is truth and what is truly scandal. Both of the contestants have done a great job.” Wow, we’re impressed!
