Add Chelsea Clinton to the long list of libs swooning over Oscar winner Patricia Arquette‘s stirring — and woefully ignorant — call to end the so-called “gender wage gap”:
Loved @PattyArquette’s speech at the #Oscars last night & all the attention it’s given to #EqualPay: http://t.co/lOEfFocyKD #NoCeilings

Hillary Clinton portrays herself as a champion of women in the workforce, but women working for her in the U.S. Senate were paid 72 cents for each dollar paid to men, according to a Washington Free Beacon analysis of her Senate years’ salary data.
During those years, the median annual salary for a woman working in Clinton’s office was $15,708.38 less than the median salary for a man, according to the analysis of data compiled from official Senate expenditure reports.
…
Signs indicate there will also be large gender pay gap on Clinton’s 2016 campaign staff. The Washington Post reported last week that Clinton will rely on “President Obama’s heavily male campaign apparatus” to run her upcoming presidential campaign.
Awk-ward!
So @HillaryClinton paid her female staffers 72 cents for each dollar paid to a male staffer. http://t.co/JNZYASLBEW #WarOnWomen

Very problematic indeed, Chelsea.
