Desiree Rogers Stepping Down As White House Social Secretary (Video)

Hard not to think this isn’t the long arm of the Salahis at work. News just broke that Desiree Rogers will step down as White House social secretary next month. Rogers, you may recall, got into some hot water back in November after the Salahis “crashed” a state dinner at the White House.

At the time Rogers was criticized for walking the press line (in a Comme des Garcons gown, no less…gasp) and possibly taking a seat at a table. What she did not do was appoint anyone to watch the gate, even though that has been common in years past. In the subsequent investigation into the matter the Secret Service did admit to some blame, though Rogers’ resignation would seem to suggest some has also fallen to her.

Rogers told Chicago Sun-Times‘ Lynn Sweet that “As we turn the corner on the first year, this is a good time for me to explore opportunities in the corporate world…When I took on this assignment, we talked about the importance of creating the people’s house. My work was really to create this framework.” CNN video below.
