The White House is blowing off its Hatch Act violations by continuing to use the term 'MAGA' despite an internal watchdog warning staffers against using the term.
"MAGA Republicans" has become a staple boogeyman of the Biden administration as it continues to navigate a crumbling southern border, sky-high inflation and topless transgender activists on the White House lawn.
"MAGA remains the campaign slogan of a current candidate for partisan political office, and therefore, its use constitutes political activity," the OSC wrote in a memo. White House deputy press secretary Andrew Bates sent a memo around Wednesday that continued to use the term, Axios reported. Bates claimed in the memo that the"main economic agenda item" of Republicans is"MAGA tax welfare for the richest Americans and giant corporations, at the expense of continuing to grow our economy by investing in America."
Jean-Pierre said at the podium this week that they"didn't know" the term was not suitable for official events.
