            Breaking!

Deep State setting up Pete Hegseth to violate the hatch act!

Kinda like they are undermining Tulsi Gabbard and John Ratcliffe to undermine Trump's EOs.

              BREAKING: Pete Hegseth will be heading to Kentucky to campaign against Thomas Massie and stand with the AIPAC-backed candidate.

            @IvanRaiklin I know you like Massie so you are attacking Sec of War Pete Hegseth.

            High-ranking political appointees have broad authority to participate in partisan politics (including primaries) under the Hatch Act's exceptions. This aligns with long-standing precedent for Cabinet officials stumping for candidates. why deceive ppl ?

            Stupidest thing Hegseth could do. He's done a decent job so far, this would be another unforced error by the admin. @SecWar - call in sick.

            I hope taxpayers aren’t footing the bill for this campaign stop.
