The Rise of Sean Spicer: How he went from being George W Bush's Easter bunny to Donald Trump's court jester!

The role of Press Secretary wasn't Sean Spicer's first job at the White House.

During George W Bush's presidency, Spicer took on the role of the Easter Bunny to entertain children at the annual White House Easter Egg Roll in 2008, although he was actually assistant for media and public affairs at the Office of the United States Trade Representative at the time.

The Twitterverse was on a roll when the period of Lent began for Christians, posting pictures from Spicer's time dressed as a fluffy bunny, and in light of Easter, we decided to re-ignite that flame!
