WASHINGTON — Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel released the following statement for Equal Pay Day:
"Equal Pay Day is of particular importance this year as over the past 13 months, women have shouldered much of the burden of the COVID-19 pandemic. Women have unfairly suffered a disproportionate share of economic harm caused by Democrat-led lockdowns, with women having to drop out of the workforce in record numbers. The longer women are kept out of their jobs– either because their child’s school remains closed or because the government tells them they can’t go to work – the longer and more difficult their economic recovery will be.
Republicans are supporting women in the workforce by fighting to open our schools, our economy and our communities in the safe and responsible way the science says can be done. Women will continue to fall even further behind unless Joe Biden and Democrats stop the partisanship and work with Republicans to solve this growing crisis. “
