President Joe Biden denied signing the transgender proclamation on Easter Sunday.
Responding to criticism from House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), who denounced Biden’s Transgender Day of Visibility, Biden said, “He’s thoroughly uninformed,” adding, “I didn’t do that.”
Johnson shared an image of Biden’s proclamation to X, asking, “This you, @JoeBiden?”
White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre also called condemnation of Easter being marked Transgender Day of Visibility “misinformation.”
“So surprised by the misinformation that’s been out there around this and I want to be very clear: every year for the past several years on March 31, Transgender Day of Visibility is marked,” she said. “And as we know, for folks who understand the calendar and how it works, Easter falls on different Sundays, right, every year, and this year it happened to coincide with Transgender Visibility Day. And so that is the simple fact. That is what has happened. That is where we are.”
American Faith reported that Donald Trump’s presidential campaign criticized Biden’s “appalling and insulting” behavior towards Christians on Easter.
“It is appalling and insulting that Joe Biden’s White House prohibited children from submitting religious egg designs for their Easter Art Event, and declared Easter Sunday as ‘Trans Day of Visibility,’” Trump campaign spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt told Breitbart News over the weekend.
“Sadly, these are just two more examples of the Biden Administration’s years-long assault on the Christian faith. We call on Joe Biden’s failing campaign and White House to issue an apology to the millions of Catholics and Christians across America who believe tomorrow is for one celebration only — the resurrection of Jesus Christ.”
