White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre has been accused of flagrantly violating the Hatch Act during a recent live interview on MSNBC.
The Hatch Act, established in 1939, restricts certain political activities of federal employees, along with some state and local employees who work in connection with federally funded programs. The act’s primary aim is to ensure a federal workforce free from partisan political influence or coercion.
Violating this law may lead to removal from federal service or prohibition from federal employment.
During the MSNBC interview, Jean-Pierre campaigned for Biden ahead of the upcoming debate, unabashedly praising his leadership and policies while simultaneously disparaging Trump’s administration.
In the interview, Jean-Pierre responded to host Willie Geist’s question about potential criticism from Trump regarding inflation and rising costs in the upcoming presidential debate on Thursday.
