Does all of those people look like they are eating there on their lunch break????????
You do not need 6 months to get into that area.
You just need to be invited. How hard would it be for someone whose family member got a 300,000 loan from Kerry’s Chief Fundraiser.
UNDERSTAND
Btw, I know for a fact that an invited guest to eat at the White House Mess does not have to wait 6 months to go eat.
“Btw, I know for a fact that an invited guest to eat at the White House Mess does not have to wait 6 months to go eat.”
I think you have totally misconstrued the point I was trying to make. Kelley contends she was an “invited” guest to a “White House breakfast”. I think it is pretty clear what that implies given the security required to attend. She didn’t say the “mess”.
I never said that she had to wait 6 mos to go there. I posted what the “general public” is required to do to merely take a tour of the White House.
The public can’t just randomly walk into the WH mess either. It is open to the public one day a month with “reservations”. I think it is just breakfast and lunch and there is a waiting list. Now, coming as a “guest” is a different matter.
It could be she got in line, made a reservation and made it in for breakfast at the mess. She appears to be “implying something different”...I don’t know.
Would it have made you feel better if I had put a “?” behind my original comment? It is pretty clear the tweet was coming from Greta not me.
By the way, I am glad the group in the pic didn’t have to “wait 6 mos to eat”...and that you had an opportunity to share it here in the thread.
I hope this clarifies the issue.
