A government watchdog has concluded that White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre violated the Hatch Act – a federal law that restricts federal employees from certain political activities that may influence elections – in the run-up to the 2022 midterm elections.
Ana Galindo‐Marrone, the chief of OSC’s Hatch Act Unit, said the agency would take no further action against Jean-Pierre.The group added that Jean-Pierre’s remarks were “an inappropriate attempt to influence the vote.” The Office of Special Counsel made the determination this month that Jean-Pierre’s repeated use of the words “mega MAGA Republicans” when referring to Republican candidates violated the Hatch Act.The Hatch Act, enacted in 1939, prohibits executive branch employees from using “official authority or influence for the purpose of interfering with or affecting the result of an election.
Biden, 80, first used the term “mega MAGA” during an Oct. 21 speech decrying Republican economic policies as “mega MAGA trickle down.”
