Not going to defend this since I wouldn't take a pay cut to go remote.
The whole pay cut argument seems to be more of a cost savings measure from the employer's perspective than viewing remote workers is productive. The thing I hear a lot in these kinds of interviews is:
we're compensating for the money you won't be spending on the commute
There's no shame in walking away if you're not going to get what you're worth.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
