This is the list of terms that the CEO of the Pageant sent Katie after she was disqualified. Katie was asked to to remove any mention of “Ms. Nevada State” from all of her social media platforms, among other things. Katie informed them she did not agree to these terms.pic.twitter.com/8koNn646xo

Here is the list of rules for the pageant. The rules state that it is clearly a No Politics Pageant however, it is still unclear as to why Susan Jeske, the pageant CEO, encouraged Katie via Facebook Messenger to get pictures with her sash on with Trump and Trump Jr.pic.twitter.com/1yPkON0ARb

I did speak with the Ms. America Pageant Director, Susan Jeske, tonight. Jeske is also a Trump supporter & said that Katie Williams was not disqualified from the pageant over her conservative views, rather it was because Katie continued to violate the No Politics rule...

Prior to being accepted into the pageant, Jeske says that she did not see any political posts on Katie Williams’ social media account and that the political posts did not start until after Katie signed her contract in April of this year.

Jeske said that the rules are the same for everyone no matter their politics. She had asked Katie to keep her political posts separate from anything that connected her with the pageant. For example, Jeske had sent these screenshots to Katie for clarification. (Markups added)pic.twitter.com/2pHO8n99el

Jeske said that Katie did not remove her title of Ms. Nevada 2019 from her personal Facebook page, that included political posts, after many requests to do so. On August 1st, Jeske emailed all the contestants reminding them of the No Politics rule as seen here:pic.twitter.com/0FHSwAUvba

I did ask Susan Jeske about why she encouraged Katie Williams to take a picture with her sash with Trump & Trump Jr and Jeske said that they encourage contestants to get pictures with celebrities & elected officials. Posting a picture with the US President is not viewed as...

...a political statement as many pageant contestants have to take pictures with elected officials from both political parties. Jeske said that as long as the picture isn’t an endorsement of that person then that is fine and encouraged.

I have tried to objectively report on this as info came in but here is my own personal opinion. Do I think think Katie was disqualified for being a Trump supporter. No. Do I think Katie broke the rules she agreed to? Yes. Do I think the rules could’ve been more specific? Yes.
