Rep. Cory Mills (R-FL) has called on Attorney General Merrick Garland to launch an investigation into Vice President Kamala Harris’s remarks during a press conference held in Washington, D.C.
In a letter addressed to Garland and shared with the Washington Examiner on Wednesday, Mills alleges that Harris may have violated the Hatch Act. This act prohibits the use of official resources to support partisan political campaigns. Mills points to Harris’s “vicious political attacks” against former President Donald Trump as evidence of a potential violation.
Republican Senator from Florida, Marco Rubio, expressed his disagreement with a statement made by Democratic Vice Presidential candidate Kamala Harris. Rubio took particular issue with the concluding part of Harris’ statement, where she claimed that Donald Trump desires unchecked power. Rubio questioned the American people’s stance and highlighted the significance of their choice in the upcoming 13 days.
Vice President Harris responded to recent reporting from the Atlantic during a press conference held at her residence. The article claimed that former President Trump expressed a desire for generals similar to those of Adolf Hitler. Harris addressed these allegations and shared her reaction to the disturbing details.
According to Mills, the Hatch Act offers protection to the president or vice president against civil violations but does not extend to criminal provisions.
