RNC press materials gushed about Van Etten’s work with Youngevity, declaring, "Michelle employs over 100,000 people and is a strong supporter of Donald Trump, knowing his policies will support businesses all across America."

The 100,000 figure is bogus; Van Etten told the Guardian's Jon Swaine "she was in fact part of a network of 100,000 sellers in the US, Canada, Mexico and other countries, in which distributors work to recruit other distributors. 'Nobody works for me, because we are all individual contractors, and we all have our own individual businesses,' she said."
