At today’s White House Easter Egg Roll the cameras caught first lady Jill Biden treating President Biden like one of the little kids, and one of the Easter Bunnies got in on the “tell Biden what to do” action by interrupting the president while he was talking to people about Afghanistan and leading him away:
Biden was incoherently mumbling about Afghanistan… so now we know why the Bunny ran over to interrupt… pic.twitter.com/FthqFIgvHQ

That scene brought with it one question:
Who's inside the bunny suit? https://t.co/fotqD2PCAf

Gotta know who was in the bunny suit

Who was in the bunny suit? Apparently it was somebody from Biden’s White House press office, in this case the messaging director:
And @MegHays46 outs herself as the staffer in the Easter Bunny costume today https://t.co/g9qaacCQh0

a source familiar tells me that Meghan Hays, special assistant to the president and director of message planning, is one of the two bunnies https://t.co/ZRn82Att0j

Yep, it appears that the White House had somebody from the press office dressed as an Easter Bunny and keeping an eye on Biden. At least now we know who was in charge at the White House today!
The Easter Bunny is running the White House

Another bunny at the Easter Egg Roll appears to be from the Biden press office as well:

Maybe Ron Klain will keep these two around just in case Biden needs to be saved from reporters’ questions in the future.
So we now know the Easter Bunny was someone inside the comms shop.
The White House literally put one of Biden's handlers in an Easter Bunny suit to keep him from talking to reporters. Just incredible stuff. https://t.co/plisKk9Pb6

The bunnies helped save the day for Joe, apparently.
Imagine the nuclear meltdown from the press if someone from our team did this to block @GovRonDeSantis from talking to journalists

The meltdown would have been immediate and loud!
