Sean Spicer used to have another job in the White House... as the Easter Bunny

There is no word yet on whether he will don the bunny ears again this year.

SEAN SPICER HAS had to fend off some tough questioning since becoming the White House press secretary under Donald Trump’s administration.

He’s defended crowd size claims, wiretapping allegations and the travel ban since Trump took office in January, but it has been pointed out that Spicer has held other jobs in the White House.

In fact, under the Bush administration, Spicer took on the role of the Easter Bunny at the annual White House Easter Egg roll.

At the time, Spicer worked as assistant US trade representative for media and public affairs under President George Bush.

Spicer even jokingly tweeted that he would love to hide in that suit again given the chance.

Just like easter egg hunts that take place elsewhere, the hunt at the home of the US President involves plenty of games and festivities.

During Barack Obama’s presidency, both he and wife Michelle took an active roll in the annual event.

There has been no confirmation yet as to whether Spicer will don the suit again for the annual White House egg hunt this Monday.

As he said himself, it may be a way to ease the stress after his major faux-pax over “insensitive” Hitler remarks earlier this week.
