Donald is such a holy man that he’s using the White House Easter event to bring in money through an outside event production company called Harbinger, founded by former Mitt Romney campaign staffers in 2013, which is soliciting corporate sponsors for this year’s Easter Egg Roll. Former White House officials from both parties are shocked. This had never happened before until Donald was again elevated to the White House.
CNN reports:
The sponsorship offers range from $75,000 to $200,000, with the promise of logo and branding opportunities, according to a nine-page document sent to potential sponsors and obtained by CNN.
The Egg Roll, which began during the Rutherford B. Hayes administration in 1878, has long been privately funded without taxpayer dollars, largely through the American Egg Board, which also provides tens of thousands of eggs for the occasion. And all money raised by Harbinger will go to the White House Historical Association.
But the solicitation for sponsorships marks an unprecedented offering of corporate branding opportunities on White House grounds running counter to long-established regulations prohibiting the use of public office for private gain.
