A former Miss Teen USA has claimed she was warned Donald Trump 'doesn't like black people' when she competed in the beauty pageant he owned in 2010.
Kamie Crawford, from Maryland, wrote a string of tweets about her experience with Trump on Wednesday as five women came forward accusing the Republican candidate of sexual assault. Trump has denied the assault allegations.
The 23-year-old, who was crowned Miss Teen USA at the Atlantis Paradise Island in the Bahamas in July 2010, was 17 when she first met Trump.
'As the first WOC (women of color) to win the title in almost a decade - I was forewarned prior to meeting him that, "Mr Trump doesn't like black people. So don't take it the wrong way if he isn't extremely welcoming towards you. If he is, then you must be the type of black he likes",' Ms Crawford claimed.

She said that at the time she had 'only experienced racism once' before.
'Needless to say, I was totally caught off guard and super nervous because this is supposed to be my boss I'm meeting - and he might not like me already,' she recalled.
