The Biden administration has been rocked by yet another scandal, as Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Xavier Becerra has been found guilty of violating federal law by the Office of Special Counsel (OSC). Keep reading to find out the shocking details of this massive breach of trust.
Every day we witness the rule of law being trampled on by the very officials who are supposed to uphold it – especially from officials within the Biden administration. Now, Health and Human Services Secretary Becerra has been caught violating federal law by openly endorsing California Democrat Senator Alex Padilla during his re-election campaign, leaving many Americans wondering what other laws are being broken by Biden administration officials. This revelation of corruption and disregard for the rule of law is unacceptable and will not go unnoticed.
The U.S. Office of Special Counsel, or OSC, has found Becerra guilty of violating the Hatch Act, which prohibits federal employees from engaging in political activities while on duty.
On the same day that the OSC concluded that he violated the Hatch Act, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, which is led by Becerra, published an educational video intended for members of the Senior Executive Service to “discuss five ethics rules that apply to them,” including the Hatch Act.
This unethical behavior is a clear example of the Biden administration’s failure to deliver on its promise of transparency and ethics in government.
Becerra has responded to his violation, calling his words an “inadvertent violation” and saying that he regrets them.
This scandal only adds to the growing list of issues that have plagued the Biden administration since taking office. Time and time again, the administration has shown that it is willing to make questionable decisions at the expense of the American people. This latest instance involving Becerra only leaves us questioning what other laws the Biden administration officials are willing to break in order to further their own political agenda.
The American people deserve transparency and honesty from their government, particularly from cabinet officials. When government officials flagrantly violate federal law for their own political gain, there must be consequences. It is time for the Biden administration to prioritize accountability and ethical decision-making.
The OSC’s finding that Becerra violated federal law only reinforces the need for our government officials to be held accountable for their actions. This is particularly true when these officials are entrusted with the welfare of the American people. The Biden administration must take immediate steps to ensure that its officials are complying with the laws that govern their behavior in office. The American people deserve government officials who are committed to transparency, honesty, and ethical behavior. We cannot have officials who believe that they are above the law, and the consequences for those who do violate federal law must be swift and sure. Only then can the American people be confident that our government is working for us, not against us. The Biden administration claims to value transparency and accountability, but their actions speak louder than their words. We cannot allow corrupt officials to continue to hold positions of power in our government. It is time for us to demand justice and hold these officials accountable for their actions.
