Biden denies proclaiming Transgender Day of Visibility on Easter Sunday
The US president seemed to disavow the highly controversial move just a day after making it
(This is a diversion from Johnson’s betrayal to America)
US President Joe Biden has rejected criticism over his annual proclamation of March 31 as Transgender Visibility Day, which this year coincided with Easter Sunday. The president’s ambiguous remarks on the matter, however, were perceived by his critics as a flat denial of the move he had made just a day before.
Biden was pressed on the matter by reporters and asked about the criticism, voiced by Republican House SpeakerMike Johnson, who called the step “outrageous and abhorrent’ tradition-busting moves.”
The president stated the speaker was “thoroughly uninformed” on the matter, producing what appeared to be a flat denial to a follow-up question on how exactly Johnson was “uninformed.”
I didn’t do that.
The remarks re-ignited the criticism, with Johnson taking to X (formerly Twitter) to poke fun at the president and posting a screenshot of Biden’s proclamation of March 31 as the Transgender Day of Visibility.
“This you, Joe Biden?”the speaker wrote.(sorry Johnson gets a little jab while giving Bidan got all he wanted and more in the budget, the FBI gets their multi billion dollar billion, the DOD gets an increased budget, every woke program funded in our government, Ukraine gets $60 Billion will all of America said no, but warmongers in congress get more weapons, he promised to shut the border but caved to Bidan gave him every damn cent and more than they asked for. Johnson is not a hero with a comment for Easter.Both Joe and him probably planned it to get the anger off of Johnson. Fuck him, liar.)
Some, however, translated the president’s remarks as an attempt to explain that he was not the one to introduce the tradition in the first place, rather than a denial of his own move.
The proclamation dates back to 2009, when then-President Barak Obama introduced it shortly after assuming office, marking March 31 as Transgender Visibility Day. The date will not coincide with Easter Sunday for decades to come.
The White House appeared to back this position as well, with Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre insisting any backlash over the president’s move was “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 stated, adding that the nature of the situation was evident “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,” she explained.
Still, the affair has triggered a storm of criticism from prominent Christians and conservatives alike, getting further aggravated by the fact that the Biden administration has opted to ban children participating in the Easter Egg design contest from using religiously themed designs.
(Even the Easter bunnies look weird.People should more angry Johnson betrayed America, and add a trillion dollar deficit every 100 days from now on!)
