Elizabeth Warren loses interest in pay gap demagaugary

Liz evidently realized that people in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D., Mass.) failed to acknowledge Equal Pay Day for the first time in her Senate career after it was reported on Tuesday that women working in her Senate office earned just 71 percent of what was earned by men.

Warren has used Equal Pay Day, which fell on April 4 this year, in years past as an opportunity to speak out on the gender pay gap. Last year she took to the Senate floor to call Equal Pay Day a “national day of embarrassment” and pledged to continue her “fight” until the pay gap was erased. She gave similar statements on Equal Pay Day in 2015, 2014, and 2013, her first year in the Senate.

This year, Warren was the only female Democratic senator who ignored Equal Pay Day entirely, and it was not due to a lack of opportunity.

I have discovered another mysterious pay gap. It turns out that people with more experience, training, skills and ability make more money than those with less experience, training, skills and ability. When will we pass legislation to close this nefarious gap?
