A Regional Housing and Urban Development official wrote on Wednesday that she did not care if she had broken a federal law intended to stop government officials from acting in a partisan manner.
"Just retweeted this amazing tweet from both of my Twitter accounts–professional and personal. It may be a Hatch Act violation. It may not be. Either way, I honestly don’t care anymore," Patton wrote."These people are determined to try to ruin and discredit a good man." Patton's comments came after Carson was mocked last week after he confused the abbreviation for"real estate owned," REO, with an Oreo cookie.
Watchdog organization Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington has previously accused Patton of violating the Hatch Act, which is intended to prevent partisan political activity. In April, the organization accused Patton of violating the act for showing"official Trump campaign merchandise in her government office."
Yeah. Because integrity is soooo overrated in this administration 😒
