Dr. Gina Loudon, a television host who supports Donald Trump, said that women are at fault for the gender pay gap.

Axios reported this week that female White House workers made less than men on average.

The Axios report noted that, "White House women last year earned 80 cents per every dollar a White House man made," while citing "public White House employee salary data."

However, Loudon defended President Joe Biden's administration despite the pay gap.

"Yeah, I don't really particularly care if men are paid more than women," the Real America's Voice host said. "I think people should be paid based on their value, contribution, and merit to an organization."

"So I've said it before, I am a bona fide sexist," she continued. "I think I want to be valuable enough in my work environment that my boss wants to pay me what I'm worth."

Loudon insisted that the modern pay scales were fairer than they were "a long time ago."

"I still think that women should stop whining and just start spending time making their contributions even greater," she opined. "You know, it doesn't matter what industry you are in, there's some ism."

"Television is famous for being very sexist. And still I chose to do this work in television. So that's on me, in my personal opinion, that's on me."
