BREAKING HATCH ACT VIOLATION BY WHITE HOUSE STAFFERS reported by Joy Ried

Joy didn't say "Hatch Act" or violation. But she mentioned a white house staffer using his government email auto reply to blame the Democrats for the Trump Shutdown.


Isn't that a violation of the Hatch Act?

You should either substitute what Reid said or you should remove the reference to her.

Your post is no different than the lies posted by right wingers. If you want to draw that conclusion from what she said, fine. But she did not say what you say she said. That’s nothing but a lie.

That's a Hatch Act violation. The fact she did not say Hatch Act does not change the fact. She reported a Hatch Act violation, but didn't use the word Hatch Act violation. Do you see quotes in my post? NO. Good day.

So don’t expect as many views the next time you post inaccurate clickbait.
