A government watchdog found that White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre violated the Hatch Act ahead of the 2022 midterm elections, NBC News reported.
In a Wednesday letter obtained by the network, the Office of Special Counsel accused the press secretary of violating a law prohibiting federal employees from using their official capacity to influence elections.
According to the group, Jean-Pierre broke the policy when she made disparaging comments about conservatives, including repeatedly referring to them as "mega MAGA Republicans" during press briefings.
Ana Galindo-Marrone, the head of the government watchdog's Hatch Act Unit, wrote in last week's letter, "Because Ms. Jean‐Pierre made the statements while acting in her official capacity, she violated the Hatch Act prohibition against using her official authority or influence for the purpose of interfering with or affecting the result of an election."
Yet nothing will happen to her so Democrats will continue to break the law.
Application of the law is only for political opponents of the democRAT party.
