OSC Kellyanne Conway Says Should Be Fired Over Hatch Act
The Office of Special Counsel on Thursday recommended the firing of White House official Kellyanne Conway over repeated violations of the Hatch Act, a law that prohibits partisan political activity by federal employees.

Kellyanne Conway Melts Down When Busted Lying About Hatch Act
White House counselor Kellyanne Conway repeatedly lashed out when reporters called her out for claiming she had never violated the Hatch Act, and at one point even told them a demonstrable lie that she urged them to go back and check against “the full quotes.” We did that.

Miller asked if she intended to continue commenting on the 2020 election despite those past violations. “You’ve been found to have violated the Hatch Act,” Miller said, but Conway cut him off. “No I haven’t been found to, that’s an outside group,” Conway insisted. “No no, you have to get your facts straight, Zeke, because you often don’t, respectfully.” As Miller noted on Twitter, the Office … [Read more...] about Kellyanne Conway Melts Down When Busted Lying About Hatch Act
Kellyanne Conway Accused of Violating the Hatch Act — Again
Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) has once again filed a Hatch Act complaint against White House counselor Kellyanne Conway at the Office of the Special Counsel (not to be confused with the Special Counsel’s Office). Conway has violated the Hatch Act in the past. The OSC previously concluded that she “violated the Hatch Act in two television interviews” and “in both instances, Conway appeared in her official capacity.” This is notable because she is being accused of the same thing. The filing highlighted four recent TV interviews. As recently as last month, Conway made an appearance on CNN. The CNN interview took place on April 27, 2019. CNN Host Michael Smerconish would later say of that interview that he was thinking the whole time that Conway’s comments about Joe Biden could be a “Hatch Act issue.” “I found this really interesting. Now she pivots to Vice President Biden. I had been told that you really … [Read more...] about Kellyanne Conway Accused of Violating the Hatch Act — Again
