I warned Democrats about this when Trump was in office.
The Hatch Act has never really been enforced unless it was just an overt act.
When Trump was in office, Democrats wanted every violation enforced.
Well, now they are getting the tables turned on them.
Guilty!
Becerra’s conduct was investigated by the Special Counsel and found to be a violation.
Special Counsel Henry Kerner stated, “As explained in the accompanying report, OSC concluded that Secretary Becerra violated the Hatch Act by expressing support for Senator Alex Padilla’s reelection while speaking in his official capacity at the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute Annual Awards Gala on September 15, 2022.
“The Hatch Act prohibits federal employees from using their official authority or influence to affect the outcome of an election.
“In delivering his speech, Secretary Becerra impermissibly mixed his personal electoral preference with official remarks.
“While federal employees are permitted to express support for candidates when speaking in their personal capacity, the Hatch Act restricts employees from doing so when speaking as a government official.”
Becerra tried to play it off as being unaware of the rules, but that is virtually impossible after what happened to the Trump administration as well as the stink when Jen Psaki appeared to violate the act during a press conference.
