Stephen Moore says the decline in 'male earnings' is big issue for the economy

The drop in earnings for men is the biggest challenge facing the economy today, according to Stephen Moore, who President Donald Trump has said he wants to nominate to the Federal Reserve board.

Speaking Tuesday with with CNBC's "Squawk Box, " Moore faced questions about past writings, some of which have been classified as sexist by his detractors. Anchor Becky Quick asked him specifically about a piece he penned for National Review in which he worried about a society where women earned more than men.

"The biggest problem I see in the economy over the last 25 years is what has happened to male earnings, for black males and white males as well," Moore said. "They've been declining. That is, I think, a big problem."
