Rachel Maddow | Alex Castellanos | Gender Pay Gap | The Daily Caller

Rachel Maddow | Alex Castellanos | Gender Pay Gap | The Daily Caller: Republican strategist Alex Castellanos was reminded of a couple rules the hard way on Sunday’s edition of NBC’s “Meet the Press.”

First, never interrupt a feminist with a point to make. Second, never question the liberal dogma that women make less than men because they live in a discriminatory society — especially when the left is in the midst of using that claim to score a political edge in an election year.

During a panel conversation about how Republicans, including presumptive GOP nominee Mitt Romney, allegedly have a women problem, MSNBC host Rachel Maddow used the oft-challenged statistic that women make 77 cents to every man’s dollar.

Facing a liberal trope, Castellanos attempted to explain to Maddow the real world reasons behind the wage gap. But Maddow smacked him down with the well-worn charge of condescension.
