HILLARY CLINTON ROOM

Columbia, South Carolina (CNN)Hillary Clinton, at times using a southern drawl, knocked Republicans for blocking equal pay legislation on Wednesday in remarks that appeared to goad 2016 GOP candidates into a debate on the issue.

"I don't think I am letting you in on a secret when I say way too many women earn less than men on the job," Clinton told around 200 activists from two Democratic women's groups. "We could fix this if Republicans would get on board. We, in fact, could fix this today, but they won't."

Without mentioning them by name, Clinton faulted Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio and Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul -- all 2016 Republican hopefuls -- for past comments on equal pay.
