Former congressional intern and WH intern (and later WH staff) here - it's possible to get those internships without a recommendation from someone worth listening to. I would go so far as to say it's mildly common.

Can confirm - there are always some folks who slip by the nepo. My best friend became a WH Intern with no particular 'in' except for his past [hard] work with a state campaign.
