    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    On Monday, thousands of children and their families will gather on the White House South Lawn for the annual Egg Roll, an Easter tradition that dates back to the nineteenth century.

    The Fox News article and subsequent reaction prompted Elizabeth Alexander, Communications Director for First Lady Jill Biden, to explain the rule had been in place for 45 years.

    Then, the American Egg Board — an organisation that helps facilitate the event — had to make their own statement clarifying the rule had been enforced by previous presidents.

    Despite this, Representative Elise Stefanik, Chair of the House Republican Conference and long-time ally to Mr Trump, shared a screenshot of the article on X.

    Karoline Leavitt, a spokesperson for Donald Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign, called for an apology while describing the president’s declaration as “appalling,” The Independent previously reported.

    Benedict’s death, which was ruled a suicide, has already become a rallying cry for LGBTQ rights as trans and queer youth continue to face attacks, The Independent previously reported.
