The Donald Trump campaign is blasting the Biden White House for its botched messaging around the “Transgender Day of Awareness” and Easter Sunday falling on the same day this year.
“It is appalling and insulting that Joe Biden’s White House prohibited children from submitting religious egg designs for their Easter Art Event, and formally proclaimed Easter Sunday as ‘Trans Day of Visibility,'” Trump campaign national press secretary Karoline Leavitt wrote in a statement.
Leavitt called it an open attack on Christians.
“Sadly, these are just two more examples of the Biden administration’s years-long assault on the Christian faith,” she wrote, demanding an apology.
“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.”
From NEWSMAX:
March 31 was picked in 2009 under former President Barack Obama, but it was not lost on Republicans that the White House moved to highlight the day as it fell on Easter Sunday during the 2024 presidential election.
The outrage was shared on social media, as one poster noted a vast difference between the attention to a small population against a large Christian majority in the U.S.
Even famed transgender Olympic champion Caitlyn Jenner rebuked the selection of transgender day on Easter Sunday.
“I am absolutely disgusted that Joe Biden has declared the most Holy of Holy days — a self proclaimed devout Catholic — as Transgender Day of Visibility,” Jenner posted to X. “The only thing you should be declaring on this day is ‘HE is Risen.'”
