The GOP doesn’t understand the point of raising the minimum wage. They think it’s a cynical Democrat plan to get the GOP on the record for opposing the minimum wage, rather than seeking to raise the minimum wage to help low wage earners get a living wage.

It’s clear that GOP doesn’t understand point of raising min wage - it isn’t to get GOP to go on record opposing, it’s to create living wage

GOPers/pundits clearly think effort to raise minimum wage by D’s is a political ploy - not to create living wage - https://t.co/1UDHSCehLY
