       @w7voa She referred to some Republicans as MAGA Republicans. She should have called them traitors.

       @w7voa Does anyone ever get the sense that Democrats are held to a different standard than Republicans?

       @joshualmccurry @w7voa no.The exact same thing was said, repeatedly, about Trump's press secretaries. Much more forcefully, too. They were given more than warnings.The difference is that the Democrats generally obey the rule of law whereas trump simply ignored it.https://www.pbs.org/newshour/amp/politics/probe-finds-trump-officials-repeatedly-violated-hatch-act

       @joshualmccurry @w7voa Definitely. If Democrats are in charge, then they are expected to abide by the strict letter of the law and work with the minority party Republicans in a fully bipartisan manner.If Republicans are in charge, they are allowed to ignore laws wholesale because those don't apply for "reasons." They can also ignore Democrats because the majority party doesn't need to listen to the minority party (when the Republicans are the majority).It's a total double standard.

       @w7voa Now let’s research every one of the orange menace’s press secretaries who doubled down on Hatch Act violations.

       @w7voa Oh, please. Republicans held their entire 2020 convention at the White House. Don’t be posting this weak sauce like it’s news. The story reeks of “both sides” reporting.
