. Due to her repeated violations from an earlier warning in 2018 and because of her ignoring requests for compliance by OSC, Kerner recommended that Conway be terminated.
"If we're going to have the same standard, then let me tell you, there are ethical complaints about every single member of Congress that does some kind of TV hit here in the Capitol where they start to talk about [politics]—Mr. Swalwell, Mr. Schiff—If we're going to use the same standard, they are violating the very rules of this House," said Republican Mark Meadows.
Representative Thomas Massie, another Republican member of the Oversight Committee, suggested that because some of the interviews Conway gave and OSC cited as Hatch Act violations did not take place at the White House or during normal business hours, that she was a private citizen simply expressing her opinion.
"The issue isn't time. It all depends whether she's speaking on her own behalf or in her official capacity," Kerner explained."The issue is, is she talking about official administration matters? If she's representing what the president thinks, what the official position is, then she's bound by not getting involved in campaigns."
Miller also questioned whether Conway is allowed to describe former Vice President Joe Biden as"creepy," like Conway, Trump and many Republicans have done with the now-presidential candidate. Republicans and Democrats did have a shimmering moment of bipartisanship, when Meadows expressed willingness to work with Democratic Representatives Jamie Raskin and Ro Khanna to reform the Hatch Act in a way that"hopefully will stop this from being an ambiguous point going forward."

Repeat news.
They understand it. They believe they are above our laws.
To be fair, they don't understand the Constitution in defending Trump, asking them to apply logic when considering Conway's egregious violations of the Hatch Act is tomfoolery.
Republicans do not understand the Hatch Act...there I fixed it for you..
Of course. Ignorance is considered a virtue with the GOP cretins.
... Between understand and not, they prefer relying to their religious abnegation and stand in the darkness and the ignorance of their evangelical blindness
They don’t understand, some too old to comprehend, most just don’t care.
please understand the RepMarkMeadows associate degree doesn’t reach that level of law understanding this is way beyond his league... like GymJordan and milkshakematt they are in congress solely to spread their conspiracy theories, misinformation and trumpian propaganda
Republicans can’t tech. Apparently they also can’t law.
When did Republicans stopped caring. Shame on you putting party before country.
They're playing dumb. Even if they really are that ignorant, they have staff that can put it in words that they can understand.
So mainly what they are saying is any trump official has immunity from the hatch act? Interesting 🤔🤦♂️
they just dont care. party before country
