MI: MAGA loses its shit over hijab-wearing Miss Wayne County [View all]

Ameera Hashwi rode through Dearborn’s Memorial Day Parade on Monday in a red convertible, smiling, waving to the crowd, and holding an American flag.

For most normal people, this was a harmless and ordinary civic moment, with Miss Wayne County taking part in one of Michigan’s oldest Memorial Day traditions.

For a certain corner of the MAGA movement, it was apparently the fall of Western civilization.

Hashwi, a 25-year-old Lebanese American attorney from Dearborn Heights, was crowned Miss Wayne County on Aug. 10, 2025, becoming the first titleholder in the program’s history to wear a hijab. She is the 34th Miss Wayne County, and she’s preparing to compete for Miss Michigan 2026 from June 18-20 at Frauenthal Center in Muskegon.
