Fox’s Ed Henry Snarks Back at White House Tweet over Gender Pay Equity

Fox News has been nagging the White House this week for its alleged hypocrisy over pushing gender pay equity while underpaying female employees relative to men. On Tuesday’s Equal Pay Day, which marks the number of days into the year women would have to work on top of men to earn the same salary, White House Director of Communications Jennifer Palmieri tweeted some shade at press organizations for their heavily male representation at a presser on the issue, and Fox News White House correspondent Ed Henry snarked right back:

WH sent man to podium right? RT @JPalm44 Love these guys, but 6 of 7 news orgs in front row sent men to ask @pressec abt gender pay inequity

— Ed Henry (@edhenryTV) April 8, 2014

The Sarcastic Retweet, a mainstay of Twitter, may still be new to Palmieri: she joined the social media platform only three weeks ago.
