Biden Boasts About Supporting Equal Pay. His Female Senate Staffers Averaged 67% Of Men’s Pay Over 35 Years.

Former Vice-President and current Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden, who has vociferously championed the cause of equal pay for women, saying it is “common sense” and “overdue,” paid full-time female staffers working for him in his 35 years in the Senate an average of 67 cents for every dollar male staffers got, according to the Washington Free Beacon.

At the July 31 Democratic presidential debate, Biden boasted: “I wrote the Violence against Women Act. Lilly Ledbetter. I was deeply involved in making sure the equal pay amendments. I was deeply involved on all these things. I came up with the It’s on Us proposal to see to it that women were treated more decently on college campuses … I’m passionate about the concern making sure women are treated equally.”
