A Trump administration official has shrugged off a law meant to stop federal employees from using their positions for political gain.
I honestly dont care anymore, said Lynne Patton of the Hatch Act. Patton heads the largest regional office at Housing and Urban Development, and she made the comments in a Facebook post Wednesday.
Patton was discussing a tweet by the account @Education4Libs that she shared Wednesday from her private and official HUD Twitter accounts. The tweet lit into liberals for what it said is a double-standard for Rep. Alexandria Ocasa-Cortez (D-NY) and HUD Secretary Ben Carson.
I find it funny how liberals will laugh & mock Ben Carson for a simple miscommunication yet praise Ocasio-Cortez as if shes a genius, the tweet read. One of them is a brain surgeon who separated conjoined twins at the heads & the other just figured out what a garbage disposal is. Case closed.

Hey Patten, your "guys" are fucking demagogues and should be LOCKED UP with and for criminal intent, and as for you admitting that you don't give a shit about the Hatch Act and your criminal intent, in violation of the laws, you also should be in fucking JAIL.
And as for your "guy" being a genius...........try this he's fucking conniving self condensing asshole and has no business being a HUD offical like you...............
I really do not like assholes bilking the taxpayers, like this asshole did when he spent over 40,000 on a dining set and dishwasher and guess what he also BROKE the LAW.....................and by the way we liberals /democrat/ progressive, Americans don't have double standard, nice try...................

(1,685 posts)Bullshit. He learned about surgery and then picked an obscure speciality. Perhaps he could have gone into trauma surgery or something else. He is basically an idiot-savant.
As for the piece of garbage not giving a shit about breaking the law she should be summarily removed from office now.

(291 posts)by Rep. Mark Meadows (R-NC) during a Cohen hearing. She stood there as a prop. Cohen introduced her to the Trumps. She was an event planner and the wedding planner for Eric's wedding. She was appointed to HUD by Trump without any experience in the field and appears to be trying to stay in the news any way she can.
