Intolerance: Winner of Makeup Competition Disqualified Over Pro-Trump Social Media Post

The facts of this case seem to be pretty straightforward: A talented makeup artist from Kansas won a national contest, entitling her to a swanky trip to Los Angeles and a generous gift card.  After the decision was rendered, it was revealed that the victor was -- gasp -- supportive of President Trump, an irrelevancy that nevertheless led directly to the rescission of her crown.  In End of Discussion (of which there's a new paperback edition with fresh content arriving on August 1st), Mary Katharine Ham and I decry the hard Left's exhausting and obnoxious efforts to politicize every aspect of American life.  This is an egregious example of that phenomenon, wherein a woman who won a competition fair and square, on the entirely non-ideological merits, is being punished for thought crimes.  Rich Lowry's wry observation about the kerfuffle is an understatement:
