White House invokes Hatch Act while taking hatchet to Republicans
W. James Antle III -

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre invoked the Hatch Act six times on Monday when declining to answer questions, even as she promoted Democratic midterm election messaging and attacked Republicans.

“So I have to be careful because I can't — we do respect the Hatch Act and our strict limits from here,” she said at Monday’s daily White House briefing. “So, I want to be very, very careful.”

This was in response to a question about President Joe Biden’s campaign schedule. Then in the same briefing, she spoke at length about what’s at stake in the November elections.
