Connie Britton Defends Her "Poverty Is Sexist" Sweater From the Golden Globes

Update: Twitter users had a lot of things to say about Connie Britton's "Poverty Is Sexist" sweater at the Golden Globes. Many voiced concerns that the cost ($380) of the sweater was a little hypocritical, and Connie had the perfect response, tweeting, "For those concerned with the price of my Globes sweater I just don't think a $5000 gown would have added to the conversation in the same way. And @linguafrancanyc who designed it, inspired by @ONECampaign, is donating $100 of each purchase to @camfed."
