Hollywood hypocrites demand ‘wage equality’

Days later, presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton said, “I think we all cheered at Patricia Arquette’s speech at the Oscars, because she’s right — it’s time to have wage equality.” Back in April 2014, Hillary Clinton sent out this tweet: “20 years ago, women made 72 cents on the dollar to men. Today it’s still just 77 cents. More work to do.”
