Nothing screams Democrat like running on an imaginary problem with an equally imaginary solution.
We get that Kamala Harris and the other Democrats have nothing to run on now that Russian collusion has basically been debunked as a giant hoax but this is pathetic, even for Kamala.
In America today, women are paid 80 cents on the dollar. It is an outrage and has to change. Tomorrow, I will announce a plan to close the pay gap and hold corporations accountable. There will be penalties if they don’t. pic.twitter.com/TI5MDCRsNL

Raise your hand if you’re a woman and beyond sick of Democrats pretending that in 2019 America corporations are deliberately paying women less just because they are women. It’s beyond insulting and annoying …
It has been against the law to pay a woman less based on her sex for DECADES.
The Equal Pay Act was signed in 1963.
Women are not paid less than men for the same job.
Women and men work different jobs, for different hours, which leads to differences in pay that are not the fault of the employer. https://t.co/queTTOR2vO

And are not things that can be legislated.
Kamala can’t make women pursue fields that pay more.
Sorry, not sorry.
It's a big lie and shame on those who fall for it.

And even more shame on those who use it.
She's a corporatist candidate, she's selling you something you already have, which won't hurt her donor's bottom line.

Exactly.
You do realize that the whole ‘80 cents’ thing is a long-disproven myth, right? Why do you want to campaign on a lie? Oh yeah… Democrat… you can’t actually campaign on any real issues.

What this shows is simple: Harris absolutely KNOWS her support comes from ignorant, uninformed people who won't actually do any research to learn this "problem" literally doesn't exist.
She knows zombie-like lemmings will sit there clapping and nodding, shouting "you go girl!"

No way you’re this stupid. This ridiculous stat is like saying women only have to work 75% of the hours men do. Numbers are like people, torture them long enough and they’ll tell you anything

She’s not stupid, she just thinks the people who might actually vote for her are.
You keep proposing things on the books. Do you have any original thoughts is it all political expediency to you?https://t.co/sr4nWbQzQs

There is something called the Equal Pay Act of 1963. Are you planning on taking credit for that?

Why do businesses employ any men at all if they can save 20% by hiring women to do the same work? I thought business owners were greedy.

Are you going to make it illegal for women to become teachers, physical therapists, LPNs, daycare workers, hairdressers, massage therapists, preschool caregivers, nurses aides, vet techs, or work in any other low wage industry with high female representation?

Pandering for votes based on phony and misleading statistics.
