Federal watchdog agency recommends White House aide Kellyanne Conway be fired for repeatedly violating Hatch Act
Kellyanne Conway didn't just violate the Hatch Act once, she broke the law multiple times. @KellyannePolls needs to resign her government position. If she wants to be a partisan hack, she should be paid by the @realDonaldTrump campaign, not by taxpayers.
The Hatch Act of 1939, officially An Act to Prevent Pernicious Political Activities, is a United States federal law whose main provision prohibits employees in the executive branch of the federal government, except the president, vice-president, and certain designated high-level officials, from engaging in some forms of political activity. It went into law on August 2, 1939. The law was named for Senator Carl Hatch of New Mexico. It was most recently amended in 2012.
