The phrase “blah, blah, blah” has a surprisingly rich history in modern Republican politics. In 2017, for example, then-Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly used it in an email to dismiss concerns from Sen. Elizabeth Warren .
In October 2015: Jeb Bush, asked about his campaign’s difficulties at the time, told reporters, “Blah, blah, blah, blah, That’s my answer. Blah, blah, blah.” In February 2014: then-House Speaker John Boehner , facing questions about the substantive details in his party’s tax reform package, said at a press conference, “Blah, blah, blah.” In October 2008: then-Sen. John McCain, asked about nuclear safety and waste issues, said, “Well it has to be safe, environment, blah, blah, blah.
When reporters noted the Office of Special Counsel found she violated the Hatch Act with two interviews she gave in late 2017, Conway was dismissive.“If you’re trying to silence me through the Hatch Act, it’s not going to work,” Conway said. In effect, a top White House official yesterday boasted – to reporters, on the record – about defying a federal ethics law.
As we discussed yesterday, the Hatch Act is a nearly century-old ethics law that prohibits nearly all federal employees from engaging in political activities. It’s a law, incidentally, that Conway has already been accused of breaking.I can appreciate why the Hatch Act may seem obscure and perhaps trivial. Those who break it are not felons, and as Conway made clear in her derisive comments, violators are not subject to prison sentences.
