Yesterday Breitbart<\/a> reported on a recent statement by Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY).<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

Thursday on MSNBC\u2019s \u201cAndrea Mitchell Reports,\u201d Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) weighed in on the possibility of President Donald Trump giving his speech accepting the Republican Party presidential nomination from the White House, despite some suggesting it could a violation of the Hatch Act.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Trump has maintained that such an act would be legal because the Hatch Act did not \u201cpertain to the president.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

After calling it \u201can outrage\u201d and bemoaning the president for continuing to \u201cdemean his office,\u201d Gillibrand seemingly agreed with Trump by saying that if anyone helps him with his speech, then it would be \u201cin violation of the Hatch Act.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI think it\u2019s an outrage,\u201d Gillibrand lamented. \u201cPresident Trump continues to demean his office. He continues to break norms, and if anyone helps him do his speech, it\u2019s in violation of the Hatch Act. So he may well be exempt, but again, to misuse federal resources for political gain is something that we do not tolerate and is illegal in many respects. So I hope he does not choose to again cross that line and continue to undermine the office of the presidency by doing things that are inappropriate and unethical.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

So what is this about? Governor Cooper of North Carolina has extended his coronavirus rules so that there is still a limit of 10 people who can gather indoors. The rules may be slightly relaxed for the convention, but not significantly. Because of this, President Trump decided not to make the trip to Charlotte to accept the nomination. The Democrats thought that they had found a way to limit the excitement of the Trump campaign. President Trump then suggested that his acceptance speech would be broadcast from the White House. The backdrop of the White House is actually a positive for the campaign–it implies a serious candidate who is currently in charge. This is another wile e coyote moment for the Democrats–they wanted to box President Trump in a corner by limiting the people at the Republican convention, but somehow he managed to turn their idea into a positive.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
