White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre violated a law intended to prevent federal employees from using their offices to influence elections when she repeatedly referred to “mega MAGA Republicans” in the run-up to the 2022 midterms, a government watchdog agency said.
In a letter first shared with NBC News, the Office of Special Counsel determined that Jean-Pierre's choice of words in referring to Republican candidates violated the Hatch Act.
“Because Ms. Jean‐Pierre made the statements while acting in her official capacity, she violated the Hatch Act prohibition against using her official authority or influence for the purpose of interfering with or affecting the result of an election,” Ana Galindo‐Marrone, who leads the agency's Hatch Act Unit, wrote in a letter Wednesday.
The group called Jean-Pierre’s remarks “an inappropriate attempt to influence the vote.”
Despite having found Jean-Pierre in violation of the law, the Office of Special Counsel “decided to close this matter without further action,” Galindo‐Marrone wrote in last week's letter to Protect the Public’s Trust, noting that the White House counsel’s office “did not at the time believe that Ms. Jean‐Pierre’s remarks were prohibited.”
“We have decided not to pursue disciplinary action and have instead issued Ms. Jean‐Pierre a warning letter,” Galindo‐Marrone wrote.

Arrest the biatch. A replacement will be easy to find. Freaks are a dime a dozen in this country these days.
No reasonable prosecutor…
She's a BLACK DEMOCRAT LESBIAN....she's UNTOUCHABLE....literally!
Hey, calm down. She got a warning letter.
Freakin’ French foreign bass turds are getting the double standard treatment too. If she was working for Trump, her ass would already be in jail.
Let’s see...
She’s a black lesbian, democrat female in this perverted Biden administration.
She’s bullet proof.

Okay. So what-Cha-gonna-do-about it?
Saying ‘Tsk, Tsk!’ is not an answer.
People like her cannot be shamed as a Bad American.
They said da ho didn’t do anything wrong but gave her a “warning letter” anyways. That reeks of the old Soviet Union.
No law applies to them.
Two systems of justice
As if Karine Jean-Pierre is going to influence ANYONE who isn’t already an America Hating Leftist lunatic.
Maybe I’m missing something, but since when did the Hatch Act, or any other law, apply to a Democrat?
Better watch out what you all ask for! We may get our first “trans” press secretary instead of our first black lesbian one. Lefties love their “first” freaks.
Special Counsel “decided to close this matter without further action.
The Hatch Act has just been removed to charge any democrat with it.
Good day comrades
