'If I'm talking about the failures of Obama-Bidencare, if I'm talking about the fact that 28 million Americans have no health insurance, that's a fact,' Conway argued.
Counselor to the President Kellyanne Conway's claim on Fox News Monday morning that the Hatch Act does not apply to her is"completely ridiculous" and what she did was"flat out illegal," a former White House ethics chief under President George W. Bush said.
"The Hatch Act means you can't advocate for or against the election of an individual," Conway said."And if I'm talking about the failures of Obama-Bidencare, if I'm talking about the fact that 28 million Americans have no health insurance, that's a fact. If I'm quoting what some of the candidates say about the other candidates, I'm just repeating the news to you as I read it that day.
Under the Hatch Act, senior White House aides have some specific allowances, Painter said. They include giving political speeches offsite during normal working hours because they are on duty around the clock, and making phone calls, emails or social media posts through their private phones during working hours. These actions are not allowed for other executive branch staff such as administrative assistants to top officials, according to Painter.
