President Donald Trump and the White House arranged a photo opportunity where an elderly DoorDash driver delivered McDonald’s to the Oval Office. The event was meant to mark the one-year anniversary of the “no tax on tips” policy. The driver turned out to be Sharon Simmons, a woman the internet quickly identified as someone with a well-documented history of supporting the same Republican-backed policy.
Users online found that Simmons had previously testified before Congress in support of Trump’s agenda, which sparked widespread speculation that her appearance at the White House was not coincidental. Julian Fels, a PR representative for DoorDash, jumped into the debate on social media and pushed back hard against those claims. According to Brobible, he insisted that Simmons was a “real Dasher” and that the event was not staged.
