Among the honored guests was Taya Kyle, widow of “American Sniper” Chris Kyle, who spoke briefly about the benefits of hiring veterans.”

“Media figures like Katie Couric, Chris Matthews and Jake Tapper were in the mix with political and legal figures like attorney Ted Olson and FCC chairman Tom Wheeler or showbiz figures like Norman Reedus, Sophie Turner and Alfre Woodard.”

“The celebrities that swarmed Washington, D.C. this weekend for the dinner weren’t always stuck discussing politics though during the party-filled weekend that brings together the two worlds of entertainment and politics — a weekend where Tammy Haddad, the brunch’s host, said she witnessed National Security Advisor Susan Rice riding in a golf cart with “Homeland”‘s Rupert Friend, who plays a CIA operative in the show.”

“When we said “mashups,” we meant that quite literally. The crowd was so dense that one barely had time to register the VIPs among the cheek-to-jowl throngs. Spotted in the mob: “Scandal” actress Darby Stanchfield, top White House adviser Valerie Jarrett, Tim Daly of “Madam Secretary,” outgoing White House social secretary Jeremy Bernard, CBS “This Morning” co-host Gayle King and “Veep” actor Timothy Simons.”
