KJP accused of violating Hatch Act with 'MAGA Republicans' remarks

>> A GOVERNMENT WATCHDOG IS ACCUSING WHITE HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY JEAN-PIERRE VIOLATING THE HATCH ACT BY CALLING OUT MEGA REPUBLICANS BY THE AHEAD OF THE 2022 ELECTIONS. >> UNFORTUNATELY WE HAVE SEEN MAGA OFFICIALS WHO DON'T BELIEVE IN THE RULE OF LAW. THEY REFUSE TO ACCEPT THE RESULTS OF FREE AND FAIR ELECTIONS. >> Todd: OH THE IRONY SINCE JEAN-PIERRE REPEATEDLY RECITED THE ACT AVOID THE QUESTIONS. >> THE HATCH ACT I'M COVERED UNDER THE HATCH ACT. I NEED TO BE CAREFUL. THE HATCH ACT. >> I AM COLD FRONT BY THE HATCH ACT WHICH I'M HAPPY TO SAY OVER AND OVER AGAIN BECAUSE WE BELIEVE IN THE RULE OF LAW HERE. I'M GOING TO BE VERY CAREFUL, AS YOU KNOW, BECAUSE WE ARE COVERED BY THE HATCH ACT. AND I'M NOT GOING TO SPEAK FURTHER TO HIS PROCESS. >> BECAUSE WE ARE COVERED BY THE HATCH ACT SO I'M NOT GOING TO SPEAK TO POLITICS. >> AS YOU KNOW, WE FOLLOW THE HATCH ACT HERE IN THIS ADMINISTRATION. >> Todd: OUTKICK HOST TOMI LAHREN IS NOT BOUND BY THE HATCH ACT. SHE JOINS US NOW. WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF THIS SELECTIVE SELF-ENFORCEMENT BY KJP OF THE HATCH ACT? >> OH MY GOODNESS, A DEMOCRAT IS GOING TO VIOLATE A LAW OR A POLICY AND THERE WILL BE ZERO REPERCUSSIONS OR CONSEQUENCES? TODD, KNOCK ME OVER WITH A FEATHER, I NEVER COULD HAVE PREDICTED THAT. LISTEN, OF ALL OF EVERYTHING THAT KARINE JEAN-PIERRE HAS DONE FROM THAT PODIUM FROM THAT LECTERN FROM THAT STAND, THIS PROBABLY IS SMALLER IN COMPARISON TO SOME OF THE OTHER THINGS, SOME OF THE OTHER THINGS SHE HAS COMMITTED FROM STANDING THERE, BUT I WILL ALSO TELL YOU, THIS GOING BACK TO THIS MAGAREPUBLICAN THING FETCH HAPPN ANYBODY SEEN MEAN GIRLS. SAY MAGA REPUBLICANS. LIKE IT'S AN INSULT. MOST REPUBLICANS, MOST CONSERVATIVES ARE PROUD TO BE MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN REPUBLICANS AND CONSERVATIVES. SO KARINE JEAN-PIERRE NOT ONLY DID YOU VIOLATE THE HATCH ACT BUT YOU DID IN A WAY MEANT TO INSULT US BUT IT REALLY DIDN'T. BETTER LUCK NEXT TIME. >> A NEW POLL FOUND THAT 80% OF DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY VOTERS THINK THAT PRESIDENT BIDEN SHOULD DEBATE R.F.K. JR. AND MARIANNE WILLIAMSON THAT INCLUDES 72% OF HIS OWN SUPPORTERS. I HAVE A FEELING THAT IF CALIFORNIA GOVERNOR GAVIN NEWSOM GOT IN THE RACE, THOSE NUMBERS WOULD GO UP EVEN MORE. HERE IS THE GOVERNOR ON 2024 YESTERDAY WITH SEAN HANNITY. WATCH THIS. >> THERE ARE PEOPLE URGING YOU TO RUN FOR PRESIDENT AND PRIMARY HIM. AM I WRONG IN MY ASSUMPTION. >> WELL, MY PHONE HAS BEEN LIGHTING UP HOW WELL HE DID WITH THE U.K. PRIME MINISTER. MY PHONE LIT UP HOW WELL. >> THAT'S A NICE THOUGHT YOUR PHONE LIGHT UP. >> MY PHONE LIGHTS ONE REPUBLICAN FRIENDS SAYING YOU KNOW WHAT? DESPITE ALL OF THE RHETORIC, MAYBE HE HAS DONE A LITTLE BIT JOB. >> BUT THAT WASN'T MY QUESTION. >> Carley: WHAT DO YOU THINK, TOMI, IS HE GOING TO RUN? >> NO DOUBT IS HE GOING TO RUN. SEVERAL THINGS LEAD ME TO BELIEVE THAT FIRST OF ALL TOURING AROUND RED STATES TRYING TO CONVINCE PEOPLE IN RED STATES A LOT THAT HAVE ACTUALLY FLED FROM CALIFORNIA THAT HE IS THE GREATEST GOVERNOR IN AMERICA, WHICH WE KNOW IS NOT TRUE. BUT, ALSO, IF YOU LOOK AT HIS CONSTANT JABS AT RON DESANTIS AND OTHER RED STATE GOVERNORS AND PARTICULARLY RON DESANTIS ON SOCIAL MEDIA. THAT'S ANOTHER INDICATION AND THEN ALSO I LOVE SEAN HANNITY, I LOVE FOX NEWS. THERE WOULD BE NO REASON FOR GOOD AFTERNOON TO SIT DOWN IN FRONT OF OUR AUDIENCE UNLESS HE WANTED TO CONVINCE OUR AUDIENCE THAT HE IS A POSSIBLE CONTENDER FOR THAT WHITE HOUSE. SOLE FOLKS I HAVE GOT TO AS CLEARLY AS I CAN. >> GAVIN NEWSOM IS GOING TO RUN IN 2024. I BELIEVE THE DNC, THE DEMOCRAT PARTY IS GOING CONTINUE TO STALL HIM THAT POSITION. THERE IS NO DOUBT IN MY MIND. AND AMERICANS, I KNOW THAT IT'S EASY TO UNDER ESTIMATE THIS GUY BECAUSE CALIFORNIA IS SUCH A MESS, BUT I CAN'T BE MORE CLEAR ABOUT THIS. DO NOT UNDER ESTIMATE GAVIN NEWSOM. IF YOU WASHED HIM LAST NIGHT WITH SEAN HANNITY, YOU KNOW THAT HE IS SLICK, IS HE CHARISMATIC AND HE LIES BUT HE LIES WITH CONVICTION. AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT IS VERY DANGEROUS FOR AMERICAN VOTERS WHO ARE UNFAMILIAR WITH HIS POLICIES IN CALIFORNIA. SO BE WARNED I BELIEVE HE IS GOING TO BE THE DEMOCRAT NOMINEE. >> Todd: HOW DO DEMOCRATS GET RID OF BIDENENED A HARRIS UNDER YOUR ASSUMPTION? >> SO, I THINK THAT THINGS ARE GOING TO HEAT UP IN THIS BIDEN CRIME FAMILY INVESTIGATION. I DON'T THINK ANY WILL BE SEE JOE CONTINUALLY STUMBLE AND THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY NOT WANTING HIM AS THEIR NOMINEE, I BELIEVE THEY WILL FIND A WAY TO USHER HIM OUT AND I BELIEVE HE WILL FIND A
