Trump defies quarantine, Hatch Act to hold "law and order" rally at White House

Submitted by Luke on Sat, 10/10/2020 - 16:50

On the 10th of October, a potentially still-contagious Donald Trump invited 2,000 GOP supporters to a "Back the Blue" rally on the White House South Lawn. While the theme was law and order, Trump violated DC health codes concerning isolation while actively infectious with COVID as well as the Hatch Act. The Hatch act forbids use of government assets (such as the White House) for partisan political purposes.
