Newly crowned Miss USA Asya Branch says that she has to restrain herself from rolling her eyes when people assume she’s a Trump supporter — just because she sang the national anthem at one of the President’s rallies and joined a meeting at his White House.
“It does annoy me when people just jump down on me and assume that I am a Trump supporter,” she told Page Six, “It’s aggravating that people always jump to assumptions before having the full story. But you know it’s just a part of life — people are always going to have something to say.”
She participated in a criminal justice reform roundtable at the White House with Trump in 2018, and sang at a rally Southaven, Mississippi the same year. She says it was part of her duties in her previous post as Miss Mississippi.
