campaign Hypocrisy on Equal Pay

[jimbo2012]

Dem - Mook: 'I worry we're going to get out on a limb…and not realize how hypocritical we might look later'

Hillary Clinton’s campaign admitted she was “hypocritical” on the issue of equal pay, according to new emails released by Wikileaks.

It has been reported extensively on the gender pay gap for Clinton’s staff while she was a senator, secretary of state, and in her current campaign. Clinton’s campaign manager Robby Mook acknowledged paying women less was problematic for his candidate who has continued to make the issue central to her campaign.

“This is the problem with having big chunks of research locked away…we just don’t know what’s going to be coming at us,” Mook wrote John Podesta in the aftermath of the New York Times story revealing Clinton’s use of a private email account.

“I worry we’re going to get out on a limb on certain issues (perfect example: equal pay) and not realize how hypocritical we might look later,” he said.

“I hate to sound like we’re trying to get into all her dirty laundry and I completely understand all the sensitivities, but this is the big leagues and we need comms and reserach experts preparing us [sic],” Mook added. “Consultants are all a flutter as you can imagine! But I know that this is a special world we live in…”

Mook’s comments appeared on the same email chain where he said he believed “everything was taken care of” in the summer of 2014 regarding Clinton’s private email server.

Other emails revealed the Clinton team’s concern about reports that she paid women just 72 cents on the dollar paid to men, causing the campaign to poll test whether the issue hurt her image in Iowa.

The campaign has confirmed the accuracy of the report that Clinton’s male senate staffers received a median salary $15,708.38 higher than women.

The gender pay gap continued when Clinton became secretary of state, where men earned on average $16,000 a year more than women.

Please supply the source of this plagerized information !

I can find it on Washington Free Beacon and also on warsclerotic.com.

And do you never wonder if this issue was discussed on Republican party emails in the same maner ? Oh that is right.....the hack by the Russians was ONLY on the DNC, oh and by the way, what in the heck would Trump ever campaign about if the Russians did not come to his aid with this.

First a disclaimer.....I previously was a Fox junkie. They were my go to site in all cases. You can believe it or not...I cannot prove it but it is the case.

I NEVER go there any longer. They have become part of the conspiracy theory Steve Bannon type politics .

I mention that because this was hyped...out of context with actually no or very little even attempting to censor or edit wikileaks.

Russia must be proud...they are leading us around by the nose and the hate in our country is so great, we dont even take a minute to see that

From Hillarys site...when again will she have a stroke and die?
Factcheck.org: “The Republican National Committee chairman says Hillary Clinton paid women in her Senate office less than men. But annual salary data provided by the Clinton campaign show median salaries for men and women in Clinton’s office were virtually identical.”
Politifact: “Hannity said Hillary Clinton paid "paid female staffers a lot less than the men" than when she was a senator. [...] We rate this claim Mostly False.”
Buzzfeed: “Internal Data: Hillary Clinton Paid Women And Men Equally”

Cut and Paste for the link. C'mon you have to do a little work. If you don't like factcheck, politifact or buzzfeeds sources dispute them. Step up.

Donald Trump says Clinton Foundation pays top women less than top men | PolitiFact (http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2016/may/27/donald-trump/donald-trump-says-clinton-foundation-pays-top-wome/)

"Trump’s post said, "Hypocrisy at the Clinton Foundation: Top male staff made on average $218,029 while top female staff made $153,014 from 2010-2014."

If you allow some leeway on what accounts for top staff, Trump is close on the numbers."

Did you ever think the women were not equal in ability necessary to perform the job, and therefore do not deserve the same pay as the men?

I mean no disrespect to woman, and I paint this with a broad brush (yes there are exceptions to what I am going to say, but I believe it is accurate with regard to the majority). Men generally have some abilities that most women do not (physical strength, stamina, ability to envision from one dimensional drawings or conversation, etc) and therefore would be deserving of more compensation.

The subject matter is campaign hypocrisy on equal pay.

In order for me to continue any discussion someone please define what "equal pay"means and how they arrive at that determination?
