A major in the Army National Guard Signal Corps violated the Hatch Act by explicitly expressing support for Joe Biden’s presidential bid during a town hall meeting in South Carolina.

Maj. Ginger Tate showed up to the event in uniform and was given the microphone. She became visibly emotional when describing how she led 130 troops into Afghanistan in 2013 while Biden was vice president. Shaking, she presented the 76-year-old with a coin bearing the names of every city her troops visited while deployed.
