The Washington Post fact-checked Hillary Clinton’s recent comments on quotes made by Gov. Scott Walker and Sen. Marco Rubio pertaining to equal-pay legislation. WaPo,
“In at least two of the quotes — Walker’s and Rubio’s — Clinton has ripped the remarks completely out of context. In all three cases, Clinton is suggesting that opposition to bills crafted by Democrats — which Republicans said would encourage litigation — is tantamount to not caring about the gender pay gap.
“Taking statements out of context is an old political game played by both parties. We recall that Clinton supporters protested vehemently when they accused Republicans of twisting out of context remarks she made during the hearings on the Benghazi attacks. But that still does not make the practice acceptable for political discourse.
“Overall, Clinton earns Three Pinocchios.”
