Warren’s hollow sermon

Another Equal Pay Day has come and gone.

It’s the day that marks how far into the next year women have to work to match the annual earnings of men (using the Census Bureau’s annual adjusted pay gap). This year that day was April 4, just in case you missed the celebration.

Now last year Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren marked the day with an impassioned statement calling it a “national day of embarrassment.”

“By the sound of it, you would think it’s some sort of historic holiday commemorating the anniversary of a landmark day that our country guaranteed equal pay for women,” Warren said. “But that’s not what this is about. Not even close.

“The game is rigged against women and families, and it has to stop,” she added.

So this year the Washington Free Beacon had a special Equal Pay Day surprise for Warren in an article documenting that the pay gap in Warren’s Senate office is nearly 10 percent higher than the national average. By their calculation, women working for Warren earned 71 cents for every dollar paid to men during the 2016 fiscal year.

The Free Beacon’s analysis included only full-time staffers who were employed for the entire year. That meant Warren’s chief of staff, Mindy Myers, and her male replacement were not included in the calculation. But the report found only one woman, Warren’s scheduling director, making $100,000 or more, while five men earned six-figure salaries.

It’s not that Warren’s the only hypocrite on Capitol Hill; she’s just the preachiest.
