“Practically the only reason that middle class incomes have not stagnated is because of women,” said Anne Kim of The Progressive Policy Institute.

President Donald Trump’s pick for the Federal Reserve Board said that the largest problem for the U.S. economy is the decline in “male earnings.”

Women make 80.7 percent as much as men, according to Census data. Median earnings of men and women has increased in the last 25 years, but have increased more for women. She noted that"there are many other economic problems that he could’ve chosen to focus on: our educational system, our trade balances, our fiscal system."

Moore's comments were the latest in a string of controversies surrounding his potential nomination to the Federal Reserve Board. While speaking with ABC's George Stephanopolous on Sunday, Moore said his prior comments disparaging women were intended to be humorous."They were humor columns, but some of them weren't funny and so I am apologetic, I'm embarrassed by some of those things," he said.
