Biden White House doubles down on ‘MAGA’ attacks despite Hatch Act warning – By Joey Garrison (USA Today) / June 16, 2023
WASHINGTON − The White House is continuing to use the term “MAGA” to label Republican opposition despite a federal watchdog agency’s warning that the language is a violation of the Hatch Act.
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre blasted Republicans’ fiscal blueprint as a “hardcore MAGA budget” on Wednesday.
Andrew Bates, deputy White House press secretary, called Republicans’ top economic priority “MAGA tax welfare for the richest Americans and giant corporations” in a memo the same day.
And a memo from Bates Thursday slammed House Republicans’ budget proposal as “an extreme MAGA plan that guts crucial Medicare benefits American families pay to earn.”
