On Wednesday, the automaker Audi attempted to curry favor with the PC crowd by parroting PC rhetoric about the gender pay gap. But one commenter caught the company off guard with a piercing question.

Audi started the exchange with this tweet:

Women are still paid 21% less than men. As a brand that believes in progress, we are committed to equal pay for equal work. #DriveProgress pic.twitter.com/bmQKrNr9l4

That prompted this response:

@Audi You pay your female employees less than males? You know that’s against the law, right?

Audi reacted with this tweet, completely betraying its original position:

@TueborFrog When we account for all the various factors that go into pay, women at Audi are on par with their male counterparts.

Whoops.

Another commenter weighed in:

@Audi @TueborFrog exactly the point. Women at Audi work different jobs which accounts for the perceived unequal pay. You made our point.

And a swift judgment:

@KathleenHileman @Audi @TueborFrog I think the idiot who came up with this at Audi is regretting their decision.
