In the interview portion of the competition for the final five contestants, the 21-year-old awkwardly responded to judge NeNe Leakes's question about income inequality. Her response contains the now-infamous phrase, "create education better."
Powell, who finished the evening as third runner-up and Miss Photogenic, was given a shot at redemption on the Today show on Tuesday.
Anchor Matt Lauer asks her the question again, to which she replies: "So this is not OK. It needs to be equal pay for equal work, and it's hard enough already to earn a living, and it shouldn't be harder just because you're a woman."
Powell conceded that her nerves got the better of her on Sunday, and she answered the question without thinking.
Gotta ask though - is it weird that the winner, Miss USA, doesn't look at Powell once she's onset? Or is it just me?
