Hillary Clinton’s wage gap hypocrisy

A Hillary Clinton Political Action Committee recently released an ad — undoubtedly the first of many — aimed at persuading American women they have no choice but to support her in November. This commercial strings together a selection of Trump's most off-putting statements, calling women fat and flat-chested, and otherwise treating women as sex objects, which hardly seems like behavior fitting a President.

Even before Trump became the presumptive Republican nominee, political analysts assumed that women would be the foundation of Mrs. Clinton's path to the White House. As Hillary endlessly reminds her audiences, she's a woman, making her potentially the first female president. Women are also the centerpiece of her policy agenda. She promises to create a new government-mandated paid leave benefit, additional childcare subsidies, and more laws and regulations that she claims will close the so-called wage gap.
