Sean Hannity accuses White House of perpetuity after five employees were fired for marijuana use despite Kamala Harris admitting to using the drug
- ‘My job is, don’t tell people to be honest and then don’t keep your word that being honest can’t have any effect,’ said Hannity
- Recreational marijuana use is legal in several states, as well as DC
- Kamala Harris has previously admitted using marijuana in college, as well as backing a federal legal bill in 2019
- Media Secretary Jen Psaki took to Twitter to try to ease the controversy
Sean Hannity accused the White House of hypocrisy on Friday following a report that Biden administration staff were fired after they reported smoking marijuana – after Vice President Kamala Harris admitted he had used own pot.
Several young workers are out of work and dozens have been fired for admitting to marijuana use, despite being told the administration would avoid it, according to the Daily Beast.
Hannity blamed the administration for the appearance about it on its Friday show.
‘My job is, don’t tell people to be honest and don’t keep your word that being honest could have no effect. ‘
Sean Hannity used part of his show on Friday to call out the White House
‘Just as a side note, if you’re one of the applicants, you might want to find out that Kamala Harris admitted herself to the 2019 Breakfast Club in an interview, yes , that she herself smoked herbs. ‘
Recreational marijuana use – which is federally illegal – has been completely legalized in several states, including Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Illinois, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, New Jersey, Oregon, Vermont and Washington state, as well as Washington DC
NBC News said in February that the White House would have new guidelines after it identified recreational marijuana use as a barrier for young people to apply for work there.
It was not clear what had changed since the report of the new guidance was weaker than promised by the White House – and more recently fired.
Hannity pointed out that Kamala Harris has confessed to marijuana use in the past
Harris also announced support for a federal legal bill for marijuana back in 2019
Different organizations within the U.S. government have different allowances for marijuana use in the past to get proper security clearances.
We announced a few weeks ago that the White House had been working with the security service to update the policies to ensure that future marijuana use would not disqualify employees from attend the White House, ‘media secretary Jen Psaki said on Twitter, along with an NBC News report.
As a result, more people are attending than previously with the same level of recent drug use.
Here is the bottom line: of the hundreds of people employed, only five who started working at the White House are no longer employed as a result of this policy. ‘
She did not elaborate on the possible circumstances that led to the shooting of the five.
Biden White House is on fire after five employees were fired and more were put off for marijuana use in the past, despite being told it would not be a reason for disqualification
Despite Psaki’s statement on the method, it’s hard to disregard the vice president’s own views on marijuana.
‘I have [smoked marijuana]. And I breathed. I inhaled, ’Harris said in her 2019 interview with the Breakfast Club about her college days.
‘I think it makes a lot of people happy. And we need more joy in the world. ‘
According to Fox News, Harris supported Cory Booker’s Marijuana Justice Act, which would have legalized marijuana at the federal level.
The bill was introduced in the Senate and went to the Judiciary Committee, but did not go any further.
