Obama campaign store selling sweatshirt made by alleged sweatshop owner

Mr. Wang’s Obama sweatshirt is part of the “Runway To Win” collection, which includes Obama campaign gear made by 22 other designers including Vera Wang and Marc Jacobs. Runway To Win was announced in January, before Mr. Wang’s legal troubles began, but his contribution to the project was never removed from the campaign store once the allegations came to light. Mr. Wang’s sweatshirt for the project features the phrase “Let Us Be Clear” emblazoned along the zipper.
