Anyone else see Mika's interview with GOP female spokesperson re pay equity? [View all]

I wish Mika would have rebutted her more forcefully. The woman was saying that the repub party agrees with the idea of equal pay for equal work but "doesn't want the government involved in it."

Mika, a simple rebuttal would have been: we have civil rights in this country because "the government got involved" with civil rights legislation and enforcement. We didn't wait for the racists to reform themselves.

If Mika can't debate the issue better than that, she should leave the stage and let someone else do it...
