She said it several times in our history where employment was rising as minimum wage increased.

Nice try chicky.

Parsing your words carefully you still acknowledged that employment was increasing when, WHEN minimum wages were increased.

That is the kind of shallow, partisan analysis you get on CNN.

THIS....is CNN.
