This is a legitimate question given that her position should have been checking the guest list. If she was invited, then the inviter must have known that, and arrangements made that delegated that responsibility.
. If she invited herself, on the other hand,she should have made the call to have that responsibility delegated.
That is a critical question given the SS guys who are taking the fall for a decision that wasn't theirs to make. Her question is to figure out who was responsible. It was reprehensible, rude, and I think racist for Gibbs to answer her the way he did.
the whole thing is a tempest in a teapot...we’ve got much bigger more important issues than rather some attention seeking social climbers snuck into a dinner.. the country is falling apart and you’re upset about this? and using the race card?? ridiculous!
