The design has likewise taken a dive into climate change activism, a subject championed by Sanders, but came under fire in 2015 after recognizing “plastic straws” and “corporate greed” as the “problem” in a now-deleted tweet in assistance of the worldwide environment strike.
The tweet prompted a flashback to Ratajkowski’s excessive use of air travel, which has been well-documented on social media.
