Bloomberg Politics co-managing editor Mark Halperin is scheduled to conduct a “Sunrise Pilates” session co-hosted by Ann Romney at a retreat for wealthy Republican donors.
His official biography says Halperin “leads Bloomberg's political and policy coverage, including news, analysis, commentary, narrative, data analytics and more across all platforms.”
According to Time, Halperin is listed on the official schedule to lead the session with Ann Romney on Saturday, June 13, at the The Chateaux at Silver Lake at Deer Valley Resort in Park City, Utah. Time describes the event, put together by former Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, as “Club Med for the political mega-donors.”
Time adds that “the event offers high-profile and high net-worth individuals the opportunity to gather in picturesque Deer Valley, Utah, and the chance to meet with at least six presidential candidates.” The Time piece included a reproduced copy of the event itinerary, showing Halperin's scheduled session.
According to an AP report, Yahoo news anchor Katie Couric is also scheduled to be a guest at the event, but isn't listed as engaging in any activities with the candidates, donors, or their spouses.
Halperin's past work includes a column suggesting that a racially based attack on Barack Obama was a viable strategy for Republicans in 2008, while another advised Republicans on how to win the 2010 midterm election. In 2011, Halperin was suspended by MSNBC for calling President Obama a “dick.”
