Miss Alabama finished as the fourth runner up in the Miss American competition on Sunday, but her answer to a question about Donald Trump had everyone talking.
Meg McGuffin, representing the Heart of Dixie, believes Republicans should be "terrified" of the GOP frontrunner who she referred to as an "entertainer." Her answer came in response to Miss America judge Taya Kyle, the widow of U.S. Navy SEAL Chris Kyle, who asked her this question:
"According to a poll released this week, Donald Trump, is leading Republican candidates by 32% of the vote. Why do you think he is leading by such an overwhelming margin?"
McGuffin didn't hesitate in delivering her answer.
"I think Donald Trump is an entertainer and I think he says what's on a lot of peoples' minds, but I think the Republican party should be absolutely terrified of all the attention that he is taking from incredible candidates like Jeb Bush and Chris Christie who could absolutely do the job of President of the United States."
She finished by saying, "If I were Republican, I would be absolutely terrified of that. Thank you."
Miss America crowned Miss Georgia Betty Cantrell as its 2016 winner. McGuffin received a $10,000 scholarship for her fourth runner-up finish.
