1. Is this fucking for real? Self-inflicted for sure. This never stops, does it. nt

2. Ouch! I hate the word "optics" but those are some shitty optics.

I imagine she isn't the only senator with this discrepancy, but she would certainly be the most hypocritical.

3. That's gonna leave a mark

[bunnies]

4. I have no words.

5. Just like when she was at Walmart, doing NOTHING for their female employees.

But arguing now that "I tried (but failed)". K&R

6. Wow! More Hillary HYpocrisy! Hillary = Hypocrisy

7. Hillary is surveying Hell for that special place right now

8. Hey, it's 72 cents on the dollar.

But beware the word "median," which is often used to hide bodies in talking points.

I'd like to see the numbers run for all the candidates, and the gender ratio of employees of each campaign. We might be pleasantly surprised.

10. Are senate staffers' salaries determined by each individual senator? Or is there a standard for all?

Some government positions have specific salary ranges for specific jobs - I wonder how that works for senate staff members?

Either way, there shouldn't be a difference based on gender.

11. FactCheck: this is a misleading analysis. They were paid the same when you include part-year

staff, of which there were a lot.

She also hired significantly more women than men.

Just to be fair... and we can still beat her on the issues.

12. Interesting because I used Obama's own speech too

I'll delete it
