Fiorina: Federal Seniority Lets A Man Watch Pornography and Get Same Pay As Woman Working Next to Him

(CNSNews) - "Do you support equal pay for women?" NBC's Andrea Mitchell asked Republican presidential hopeful Carly Fiorina on Wednesday, the same day Hillary Clinton campaigned in South Carolina on a promise of "equal pay."

"Of course I support equal pay for equal work," Fiorina replied. "And that's why in 1963, when a law was passed guaranteeing that if a woman is being discriminated against in the work force purely because of her gender, she should take every advantage of the law.

"But I also know this -- a seniority system, which exists in the federal government, that allows a man to watch pornography all day long in the federal government and earn the same pay, pension, and benefits as a woman sitting next to him trying to do a good job, that is not equal pay for equal work. And the seniority system, and the federal government that promotes that seniority system, and the unions as well, they're not willing to talk about that.

"So before a federal government or Hillary Clinton, who by her own measures is not paying women equally in her own office, nor is President Obama, before they lecture others, maybe they ought to look into their own offices or look into the seniority system in the federal government."
