Acting DHS secretary Chad Wolf on Sunday denied knowing that the Trump administration’s naturalization ceremony would later air as part of the Republican National Convention amid concerns that the RNC event was one of several incidents that violated the Hatch Act, which prohibits executive government officials from participating in political activity while on duty.
You might want to add “illegally appointed” to Chad’s job description, let’s not lose sight of the fact that all of these moves are from unconfirmed hatchetmen.
So Chad Wolf has been turned into a prop too?
We really do not need more trumpian props…Trump’s family/cronies, Goppers and those unwitting people are more than enough!
Because Wolf has been found to have been illegally appointed to his job, was the swearing in of those prop naturalized citizens valid?
Oh BS. They never ‘knew that would happen’ at an event that is totally scripted. Uh huh. Now we have Mark Meadows over on MTP insisting that TRUMP’S AMERICA is totally ‘peaceful’ … it’s those BLUE states that aren’t adhering to the ‘plan’.
Sure, they’re peaceful, what is it about a long gun that doesn’t scream peaceful?
I must sat that in the image with this article that Chad looks like he works as a “fixer” for Don Corleone.
I don’t feel my “homeland” is secure with an acting Department of Homeland Security secretary knowingly and deliberately breaking the law, cooperating with filming his law-breaking for broadcast to the entire nation at a political convention devoted to portraying itself as the defenders of law and order and its political opponents as a threat to law and order, then repeatedly lying about it to the entire nation when questioned multiple times about it.
I have not attended a naturalization ceremony, but have seen a few clips on the TV once and while. So why were there only 5 people in the ceremony that Trump attended at the WH? How many naturalization ceremonies have been held at the WH, in this maladministration and others?
I suspect that they picked these five because of the various countries that they came from, and more importantly with only 5 Trump got to stand out in a not so big crowd.
That cheesecake wouldn’t last a week in the real mob.
“I participated in several of them not only with the President, but with the Vice President,” Wolf said. “So, it’s absolutely a legitimate role for the department to do.”
I’m sure that’s true.
It’s also absolutely a legitimate role for the New York Police Chief to direct traffic at a two car fender bender, but no administrator worth a damn would consider it.
Wolf: “It depends on what you mean by the word ‘know’ in this context.”
Lobbyist, lawyer, fixer they all blend together. They must all bow down before the Trump.
So, he didn’t know what the cameras were for.
And, he, himself, personally ALWAYS oversees all the naturalization ceremonies.
And, he, himself, personally ALWAYS holds all naturalization ceremonies off hours.
And, he, himself, personally ALWAYS holds naturalization ceremonies at the White House.
With the President.
Next to him.
Yeah, his story checks out.
Side note: Doesn’t denying he knew mean he had to have violated the Hatch Act? He is acknowledging it was an official duty, and he has to also acknowledge it was used for political purposes. Otherwise, why deny knowing?
Biblically.
Yes, everyone in Trump’s orbit is so believable, especially Chad Wolf, who looks, sounds, and even has a name like he got hired after spending a decade making Falcon Video daddy porn.
And if he didn’t know, why isn’t he screaming to high heaven about how he was mislead and how upset and “concerned” he is about this egregious violation of ethical norms?
Oh, that’s right - it is impossible for the Chadster to speak out against it while Trump’s balls are lodged down his throat (See, his career in daddy porn came in handy after all!).
Well than Chad Wolf is too stupid to hold such a position of responsibility in the government of the USA if I was unaware he was a cast member in a propaganda video
Stochastically, perhaps?
Chaos reigns in the Trump administration, and yes, that is deplorable.
