Trump suggests it: racist! Biden does it: brilliant!

ANSWER THE DAMN QUESTION C0WARD!!!

[@Icannotbelieve693]

lol, “they are designed to be effective and not emotional” but yet they have put a lot of heart in them? How is putting heart into anything not being emotional?

[@dangpham7881]

Good points!

[@twesj]

The Hatch act has nothing to do with the question. It's a question about current policy and why it took so long to put the policy into place.

[@user-oz2yb4hr6u]

LOL now they got DEI in tariffs? OH boy.

[@jasons2562]

Hatch act = we have no sound plans and no good answers

How would her answering the question violate the Hatch Act?

[@thomasquinn4036]

Why now they ask her? She says they have been working on it for 3 years, lightning speed! TRUMP 2024🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@rosetzu_nagasawa]

what is "Hatch Act" ?

[@THall-vi8cp]

Google "Hatch Act of 1939". I would post a link, but every comment I post with a link is deleted.

[@rosetzu_nagasawa]

@@THall-vi8cp goodness, there is such a thing! I thought I misheard what she was saying

[@KathleenGerhart]

Cuz she's too chicken to answer the question lol

[@shaneomac823]

They don't answer anything at all! What would it have hurt for her to dance around the question as they always do.

[@user-ze9li5nj7k]

BS...

Not allowed to respond to questions that Donald Trump has said something on? 🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌

[@Traisie]

The Hatch Act is a law for federal employees who can’t participate in politicking at all. I paraphrased tho.

[@justkate2529]

@@Traisie you mean when there are cameras around. I'm sure they talk about all means of politicking when there are no cameras.
