Go Republicans get anything right these days? Morons.
2. ABOUT THOSE EGG DESIGNS: This one is a bit weird, but bear with us.
The American Egg Board isn’t an organization with a household name. But if you do know anything about them, it’s probably this: For generations, they’ve worked with administrations of all stripes on the Easter Egg Roll at the White House. Every year, the same guidelines are sent out for the eggs kids can design for the event.
It is true that overtly religious egg designs are not permitted. But it has been that way under every president since 1976 — including under DONALD TRUMP.
“The American Egg Board has been a supporter of the White House Easter Egg Roll for over 45 years and the guideline language referenced in recent news reports has consistently applied to the board since its founding, across administrations,” the American Egg Board’s EMILY METZ told us this morning. (It’s been an unusual Easter morning on our phone.)
The reason for this is straightforward: The guidelines are federal ones the Egg Board has to adhere to because they are a commodity Checkoff Program and basically they have to stay neutral. (They cannot use the Egg Roll to say that eggs are better than bacon, we’re told.) So any program or activity they are a part of cannot even be seen as lifting one religion or set of political beliefs over others.
