Spicer, Scaramucci among partygoers at Beatles-themed WHCD bash
Two of President Trump’s former White House communications aides were spotted Friday at a Beatles-themed bash on the eve of the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner.
Former spokesman Sean Spicer and onetime communications director Anthony Scaramucci were among several current and former White House officials in attendance at the glitzy affair at the British Embassy sponsored by Washington Life Magazine and presented by Kiddar Capital.
Current White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders, clad in a blue sequin dress and high ponytail, was also seen posing for photos with Spicer and chatting with CNN senior White House correspondent Jeff Zeleny. Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway was also spotted snapping pictures with attendees. {mosads}
British Ambassador to the United States Kim Darroch and his wife hosted the swinging ’60s-themed event, which party planners said was meant to pay homage to the “cultural revolution that ushered in an explosion of art, music and fashion in Great Britain.”
Journalists, reality TV stars, pageant queens and other partygoers sipped on cocktails dubbed the “Abbey Road” and “Jumping Jack Flash.” Guests nibbled on tarts and pastries while they were treated to performances from “Starry Eyed Surprise” singer Paul Oakenfold and Las Vegas-based DJ Skribble.
The party was named after the Beatles hit “Come Together” in the hopes of inspiring some bipartisan camaraderie in a city often divided along party lines.
Also spotted at the event were Bravo’s “Real Housewives of Atlanta” star Cynthia Bailey; MSNBC “Hardball” host Chris Matthews; House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.); and CNN’s Manu Raju and Rebecca Berg, among others.
