The stalwartly pro-Hillary wing of ABC’s The View expressed rare misgivings about the likely 2016 presidential candidate, calling a new report on the massive gender pay gap in her old Senate office “damaging.”
The Washington Free Beacon reported that during Clinton’s time as a U.S. Senator from New York, women on her Senate staff earned just 72 cents for every dollar earned by male employees.
“That is damaging,” said stylist Stacy London, rousing Whoopi Goldberg to a half-hearted defense.
“Unless you know what the jobs were — were the men who got paid more, were they in jobs where they earned [more]?” she asked, echoing the argument made by many conservatives. “Is anybody telling us who got paid what, for what?”
“No, no, we don’t know the exact details,” Rosie Perez said. “But I have to be honest that I — you know, I love Hillary. And I was shocked. I was shocked, I was like ‘Oh, no.’
“This doesn’t look good,” Perez continued. “This doesn’t look good.”
