\n

President Joe Biden<\/a>, who reportedly had a decades-long history of paying female staffers less than their male counterparts while in the Senate, caused a stir on Twitter Tuesday when he tweeted out a handwritten letter from a little girl named “Charlotte” calling on him to close the gender pay gap.<\/p>\n

“Charlotte, I couldn’t agree more,” Biden tweeted. “Women lose thousands of dollars each year, and hundreds of thousands over a lifetime, because of gender and racial wage gaps. I’m committed to building an economy where my daughters have the same rights and opportunities as my sons.”<\/p>\n

Biden then posted a picture of the letter to mark Equal Pay Day<\/a>, a symbolic day first observed by the National Committee on Pay Equity in the 1990s.<\/p>\n

Twitter users seemed to be amused by the tweet, with many questioning its validity and suggesting Charlotte change her gender identity.<\/p>\n

“Yes, a 4 year old girl named Charlotte is writing the president letters about her concern with the ‘gender pay gap,'” wrote Collin Rugg, co-owner of Trending Politics. “‘Alex, I’ll take stuff that never happened for $800.'”<\/p>\n

“Sooo, they have staff writing fake notes from children to Biden now… lol,” added Tim Young, a comedian and editor of the National Mouth.<\/p>\n

One user joked the author was none other than Vice President Kamala Harris.<\/p>\n

Others suggested that maybe Biden himself wrote the note.<\/p>\n

“You stayed in the lines perfect Biden! Great Job!” quipped mixed martial artist Nik Lentz.<\/p>\n

Some Twitter users noted that Charlotte can circumvent the problem altogether by not remaining a female.<\/p>\n

“Just tell Charlotte to become non-binary. Problem solved,” tweeted Kimberly Klacik, a Republican activist and radio host who ran for Congress in Maryland in 2020.<\/p>\n

However, some tweeted that if Charlotte continues to identify as a girl, she’ll likely be competing against transgender athletes thanks to Biden’s policies on gender identity.<\/p>\n

“Poor Charlotte will be competing against men in any sports she decides to join or her parents put her in thanks to Biden. Let’s hope she doesn’t end up with a concussion,” wrote journalist Caleb Parke, who added that the gender pay gap “won’t matter if we’re in WWIII or the economy keeps tanking.”<\/p>\n

Many Twitter users echoed the latter point, arguing Biden has more immediate issues to be tackling.<\/p>\n

“This is fake. Anyways … back to our deteriorating banking system and environmental crisis in East Palestine, Ohio,” wrote journalist Matt Vespa.<\/p>\n

Some Twitter users asked whether Biden himself has paid the men and women who work for him evenly. According to a 2019 analysis by the Washington Free Beacon, the answer is no.<\/p>\n

The Free Beacon analyzed spending reports disclosed in the biannual report of the secretary of the Senate and found women working for Biden were paid less <\/a>than their male counterparts during the entirety of Biden’s time in the Senate from January 1973 to January 2009.<\/p>\n

A few people on Twitter flagged the Free Beacon report, including Abigail Marone, the communications director for Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo.<\/p>\n

Biden never achieved gender pay equity, according to the report, which concluded women on average earned just 67 cents for each dollar earned by men.<\/p>\n

The closest Biden came to achieving gender pay equity was in early 2002, when female staffers earned 98% of the money made by their male counterparts, the report continued. But that wasn’t the norm.<\/p>\n

BIDEN SIGNS ORDER TO PROMOTE PAY EQUALITY FOR EMPLOYEES OF FEDERAL CONTRACTORS<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

During Biden’s final months as a senator in 2008, women in his office earned 66% of what men did \u2014 a gap 11 percentage points larger than the 2008\u00a0national average<\/a>, according to the National Committee on Pay Equity.<\/p>\n

Women working for Biden earned less than 50% of what men made in 11 of the six-month periods analyzed by the Free Beacon, and women made as little as 44% of what Biden’s male employees made in 1983 and 1984.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Free Beacon noted that, while the national gender pay gap hasn’t dropped below 57% since Biden entered the Senate<\/a> in 1973, Biden paid women less than 57 cents on the dollar in 22 sixth-month periods, citing public records.<\/p>\n

The White House, which on Tuesday touted the Biden administration’s efforts<\/a> to achieve equal pay, didn’t respond to a request for comment for this story.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
