Where were the media "watchdogs" then? Crickets.

White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders likely violated ethics regulations when she posted a photo on her official White House Twitter account of Kanye West wearing a MAGA hat, a watchdog group charged.
West’s hat touts President Donald Trump’s campaign slogan, “Make America Great Again.” Sanders posed with the rapper for the photo after his wild appearance in the Oval Office Thursday with Trump.
The group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington filed a complaint Friday with the Office of Special Counsel, accusing Sanders of violating the Hatch Act. The act forbids federal employees from using their influence, position, work resources or social media accounts to affect the “results of an election.”
The special counsel determined earlier this year that once Trump declared he was running for re-election, any “display” of Trump’s MAGA campaign slogan by a federal employee is a violation of the Hatch Act.
Never a dull moment in the @realDonaldTrump White House. Thank you Kanye West! pic.twitter.com/BS4rzZVlZJ
— Sarah Sanders (@PressSec) October 11, 2018 “This administration does not seem to care about what the law says when it comes to ethics issues like using official positions for politics,” CREW Executive Director Noah Bookbinder said in a statement. “How many investigations ... are needed until this administration takes action to stop the misuse of government resources for political activity?”

So is Maxine calling for impeachment?
This is getting ridiculous.
More or less ethical than sending 400 million taxpayer dollars to a terrorist regime?
LOL! Cray cray. Insane in the Membrane.
Waiting for them to indict President Trump for attempting to influence the 2020 Presidential Election.
No, I am NOT joking.
Liberals are experts in keeping it realz.
Actually, Make America Great Again was the 2016 slogan. I believe Keep America Great is the 2020 slogan.
Shove it, CREW.
This needs to be investigated. Investigated the same way the Eric Holder investigated Fast and Furious, and IRS gate with Lois Lerner. The way the FBI investigated Hillary’s emails.
I'm waiting for them to dig into Sarah's High School yearbook to see if she influenced elections then, too.
Since when does legality and ethics matter to HuffPo, et al?
White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders is one of my heroes and high on my prayer list.
Just wait until they get President Trump for attempting to influence the 2020 Presidential Election!!!!
Kanye’s apparel causes impeachment? Wow.
Dumb media.
Perhaps they could also charge Trump with using his official powes as President to foster a wonderful economic surge which will likely influence the upcoming election and make it harder for politicians advocating bad economic policies to get elected.
LOCK HER UP!!
I thought about that one myself but figured it would need a sarcasm tag for the idiots and I was all out of sarcasm tags.
When it's not dems and the dems want to win.
Wait, he showed up with it, didn’t he? All they are accomplishing is more headlines with Kayne wearing a MAGA hat!
Heh.
Any puny low-T liberal call of “broke ethics rules” can be countered COMPLETELY by using any of the following phrases:
Bubba Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Barack Dorkbama, Diane Feinstein, Nancy Pelosi, Maxine Waters, John Kerry, Al Gore, oh well, getting tired, just list the rest of the Democrats in congress, in the states, in Google, Facebook,Microsoft, Apple etc.
