Karine Jean-Pierre spoke out about “mega MAGA Republicans” from the podium in the White House.
Press spokeswoman in the White House, Karin Jean-Pierre, broke a law that should prevent federal employees from using their position to influence elections, writes NBC.
The channel has gained access to a report from a government-appointed control body.
Jean-Pierre used the term “MAGA Republicans” before the 2022 midterm elections.

It was at a press conference on 2 November that Jean-Pierre spoke about “mega MAGA representatives who do not believe in law and order”. MAGA is short for “Make America Great Again”, and is the slogan of former President Donald Trump.
Even if she broke this law, there are no consequences, writes NBC. She has nevertheless received a letter with a warning from the control body Office of Special Counsel.
