Fact-check: President Obama's persistent '77-cent' claim on the wage gap gets a new Pinocchio rating from Glenn Kessler
The Washington Post.
Could the GOP's vote opposing wage parity hurt them in November? "Experts are still uncertain whether the vote on the bill will hurt Republicans chances for a Senate win in November. Kelly Dittmar, an assistant research professor at the Center for American Women and Politics at Rutgers University, said Republicans have been finding it a challenge to speak to issues that are most important for women and that standing in the way of the Paycheck Fairness Act was not a good impression for the party to give. Republicans, however, have an ideological defense when it comes to the specifics of the pay equity legislation. Dittmar said that Republicans can argue to voters about opposing the expanding role of government. Whether these arguments will work until November is far from certain." Laura Matthews in International Business Times.
