The Republican National Committee used Twitter to promote a prize of attending a dinner with President Donald Trump.

The RNC linked to a GOP.com fundraising page with its post.

It offered one person the chance to win transportation, accommodation and a ticket to the Florida bash, and invited people to donate to the RNC in exchange for entry into the sweepstakes.

The RNC valued the prize at $3,000, but some folks on Twitter “barfed” at the offer:
