White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2022\/10\/27\/politics\/ron-klain-hatch-act\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">responded<\/a> to the special counsel&#8217;s findings by calling Klain &#8220;very careful.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He fixed it as soon as it was pointed out, and takes the warning to be more careful seriously,&#8221; she told reporters on Air Force One, adding, &#8220;We are not perfect. But our violations have been few.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>But Klain&#8217;s violation is likely the second Hatch Act violation by a senior White House official in less than a year. In Oct. 2021, a federal watchdog filed a federal complaint against then-White House press secretary Jen Psaki for breaking the law after she endorsed then-Virginia gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe&#8217;s (D.) bid for office during a press briefing.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ll be more careful with my words next time, words certainly matter,&#8221; Psaki said after the incident.<\/p>\n<p>Klain&#8217;s Twitter feed has caused <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/biden-administration\/spoiled-narrative-just-weeks-after-white-house-said-polls-were-on-upswing-biden-more-unpopular-than-ever\/\">various headaches<\/a> for the White House. The <em>Free Beacon<\/em>\u00a0previously reported on Klain using the social media platform to endorse such policies as a $23 minimum wage and sharing tweets that deemed skyrocketing inflation a &#8220;high-class&#8221; problem.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The White House on Thursday shrugged off Chief of Staff Ron Klain&#8217;s violation of federal law, saying, &#8220;We are not perfect.&#8221;<br \/>\nThe post \u2018We Are Not Perfect\u2019: White House Responds to Klain\u2019s Twitter-Induced Crime appeared first on Washington Free Beacon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":197,"featured_media":687526,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[544],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1713935","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-free-beacon"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1713935","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/197"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1713935"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1713935\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/687526"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1713935"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1713935"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1713935"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
