Miss Puerto Rico has been suspended indefinitely from the Miss Universe pageant after she went on a tirade about Muslims on Twitter.
In a lengthy Facebook post where he called Donald Trump a big wuss, Michael Moore said that Trump was “desperate and insane” for proposing a temporary ban on Muslims entering the country. He said, “We are all Muslims.” (RELATED: Michael Moore: I’m Coming For ‘Big Wuss’ Donald Trump)

“Muslims use our constitution to terrorize USA & plant gas stations,” Velez tweeted. “There’s NO comparison between Jews, Christians & Muslims. Jews nor Christians have terrorizing agendas in their sacred books.”
