'The patriarchy strikes?' WH misleads on #EqualPay — again [photo]

Even just “integrity” would be a good start.

With the election less than a week away, Democrats are throwing caution — and shame — to the wind. As Twitchy reported, the DNC launched a #GOPTrickOrTreat hashtag game that swiftly blew up in their face. But why should they have all the fun?

The White House is also desperate, and while their pictures may not be as pretty as the DNC’s, they’re just as stupid:

Sigh. Let’s start with this, shall we?

Gee, what is common among women age 30-36? https://t.co/k7gRkiUU7r

Boy, that’s a tough one!

Well, yeah, that goes without saying. But there’s something else, too …

Considering this is due to choices women make, etc. Congress really can't do anything about this. https://t.co/jOgyaEiv5i @WhiteHouse

Choices like, say, starting a family? Or — brace yourselves — choosing a career path that might not be as lucrative as others?

There's a "pay gap" because women and men CHOOSE different jobs. So unless @WhiteHouse is proposing forcing women in to work, STFU.

There’s another very good reason the White House should shut up about this pay gap claptrap:
