During the Miss America pageant over the weekend, Miss California had to answer a question about inequality. Her response has gone viral because she stumbled to answer the question and took a few long pauses in order to do so.
Nigel Barker asked the question, “One of the biggest challenges facing the United States is social and economic inequality. How do we narrow the gap between the rich and poor?”

Not one to let the internet get the better of her, she responded to everyone mocking her with a brilliant post on Instagram with the caption, "When you pray to God for the words to social economic inequality and his response is ”It'll take longer than 30 seconds to answer that babe”."
