Getty ImagesLet's just say, Stacey Dash didn't have the same reaction to Patricia Arquette's Oscars speech as did, say, Meryl Streep and Jennifer Lopez.
"I was appalled. I couldn't believe it," Dash said on this morning's Fox and Friends in response to what was one of the most memorable lines of the night, Arquette's much-applauded remark that "it is our time to have wage equality once and for all and equal rights for women in the United States of America."
What, no good?
"First of all, Patricia Arquette needs to do her history," Dash said. "In 1963, Kennedy passed an equal pay law. It's still in effect. I didn't get the memo that I didn't have any rights."
Pretty sure Arquette didn't say it's time for women to get some rights...
Dash added, "And then everyone else [at the Oscars]...I agree with Mr. Trump. I miss the glamour, the elegance, the class, the majesty of the Oscars. You know, I'm an actress, I've dreamed about it my whole life and it just seems to be going away."
Meaning, the Clueless actress agreed with Donald Trump, who tweeted last night: "Worst graphics and stage backdrop ever at the Oscars. Show is terrible, really BORING! What ever happened to the good old days of The Academy Awards. This show is an insult to the past, just plain bad!"
For his kicker, he added, "The Oscars are a sad joke, very much like our President. So many things are wrong!" He even tried to get a Trump-for-host bit going on Instagram this morning, but... we're thinking more people want Piers Morgan to host The Daily Show.
Dash also tweeted last night, "She also tweeted last night, "Hey @PattyArquette, KENNEDY signed the Equal Pay Act in 1963! Why doesn't Obama/Holder simply enforce?"
But if she had delved into history a little further, Dash would have known that President John F. Kennedy, after signing the Equal Pay Act into law, said, "Much remains to be done to achieve full equality of economic opportunity…Our journey is not complete until our wives, our mothers and daughters can earn a living equal to their efforts."
Moreover, President Barack Obama signed the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Restoration Act in January 2009, an effort to better enforce equal pay laws, and Senate Republicans moved to block an effort to expand on it in 2012.
"It is incredibly disappointing that in this make-or-break moment for the middle class, Senate Republicans put partisan politics ahead of American women and their families," Obama said at the time.
Also asked on Fox & Friends about the controversy that preceded the Oscars regarding this year's all-white roster of acting nominees, Dash said, "If it were something conservative, and there weren't any black people in the audience or on the stage winning awards, there would be a lot of...[it's a] double standard...They're so chummy with this administration, they love it so much, so why aren't they making them do the changes?"
