“Right now women are making 77 cents on every dollar that men are making,” Maddow said, attempting to frame her argument again. “But that’s not true. If so, every greedy business man in America would only hire women, save 25 percent and be hugely profitable,” Castellanos said. Maddow paused and called out Castellanos for continuously interrupting her. “It’s weird that you’re interrupting me and not letting me make my point, because we get along so well, so let me make my point,” she said. “But the interruption is important, I think, because now we know, at least from both of your perspective, that women are not faring worse than men in the economy, that women are not getting paid less for equal work. I think that’s a serious difference in factual understanding in the world, but given that, some of us believe that women are being paid less than men.” After Maddow framed her argument, Castellanos responded, “I love how passionate you are. I wish you were as right about what you’re saying as you are passionate about it. I really do.” Smackdown!
