Sarah Huckabee Sanders Thrown Out Of Restaurant -former Federal Ethics Head says...
...that SHS’s tweet violates two ethics rules.
Last night I was told by the owner of Red Hen in Lexington, VA to leave because I work for @POTUS and I politely left. Her actions say far more about her than about me. I always do my best to treat people, including those I disagree with, respectfully and will continue to do so— Sarah Sanders (@PressSec) June 23, 2018
Sarah, I know you don’t care even a tiny little bit about the ethics rules, but using your official account for this is a clear violation of 5 CFR 2635.702(a). It’s the same as if an ATF agent pulled out his badge when a restaurant tried to throw him/her out. https://t.co/Fj6OfBAdew— Walter Shaub (@waltshaub) June 23, 2018
Sanders used her official govt account to condemn a private business for personal reasons. Seeks to coerce business by using her office to get public to pressure it. Violates endorsements ban too, which has an obvious corollary for discouraging patronage. Misuse reg covers both.— Walter Shaub (@waltshaub) June 23, 2018
No it doesn’t to both points you made, Walter Shaub, you lying, biased piece of shit. 😬
To both of his points, in order:
1. She did not use her public office for private gain.
2. She did not violate the endorsements ban.
This guy is not even trying to hide his bias. This is not a reach. This is just blatant lying. He’s trying to use jargon and obscure references to defame or disparage Trump’s presidency and he’s attacking his Trump’s mouthpiece to do it.
Thoughts?
