RNC spokesperson attacks fundraiser for rescue dogs in failed attempt to diss Biden

By Emily Singer -January 15, 2021 1:02 PM



GOP spokesperson Steve Guest tried to call out Joe Biden after news broke that Ivanka Trump made Secret Service spend $3,000 a month to avoid her toilets.

Republican National Committee spokesperson Steve Guest on Friday attacked an event celebrating President-elect Joe Biden's rescue dog, Major, as a waste of "tax dollars" — even though the event is not being paid for with taxpayer money. Instead, it's a fundraiser for a local Humane Society chapter.

"Your tax dollars at work," Guest tweeted in response to an NPR report on the "Indoguration" — the tongue-in-cheek name for the event celebrating the first rescue dog ever to reside in the White House.

Guest's comment followed news that broke Wednesday, revealing Trump's daughter, Ivanka, and her husband, Jared Kushner, made Secret Service shell out $3,000 per month in taxpayer funds to rent a basement apartment so that the officers guarding them could use the toilet. Reportedly, Trump and Kushner did not want the agents using one of the seven toilets in their Washington, D.C., mansion.

They have seven bathrooms. What is the problem with giving over one of the bathrooms to the Secret Service? They certainly have a Housekeeping staff. It isn’t as if Ivanka and Jared clean toilets themselves.

These Trump people are weirdos.
