The annual spectacle that is the Miss Universe Pageant continues this year, and with war raging in Eastern Europe, special attention has fallen on Miss Ukraine, Viktoria Apanasenko. Apanasenko’s resulting entrance went viral, featuring a costume based on the Archangel Gabriel and featuring a war sword and expansive, unfolding wings. Coming out of a war already characterized by extraordinary levels of propaganda, the costume represented yet another standout example of innovative war porn. Guest host Aaron Maté and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss whether closer inspection will reveal fascist symbols beneath Miss Universe’s wings.
