The White House has responded to the backlash from Christians over the “Transgender Day of Visibility” proclamation issued by Joe Biden. Biden declared March 31 to be a holiday honoring transgender people — but this March 31, of course, is Easter.
“NOW, THEREFORE, I, JOSEPH R. BIDEN JR., President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim March 31, 2024, as Transgender Day of Visibility,” the White House proclamation declared. “I call upon all Americans to join us in lifting up the lives and voices of transgender people throughout our Nation and to work toward eliminating violence and discrimination based on gender identity.”
Biden, who says he is a “devout” Catholic, has also banned religious artwork from the White House Easter egg competition.
Naturally, the absurd gesture sparked massive outrage from Republicans, including former President Donald Trump.
The Trump campaign issued a statement saying, “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.’ 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.”
On Saturday evening, the White House responded to the outrage, claiming that it was “cruel” and “hateful.”
White House spokesperson Andrew Bates said in a statement, “As a Christian who celebrates Easter with Family, President Biden stands for bringing people together and upholding the dignity and freedoms of every American.”
“Sadly, it’s unsurprising politicians are seeking to divide and weaken our country with cruel, hateful, and dishonest rhetoric. President Biden will never abuse his faith for political purposes or for profit.”
The statement, of course, did not contain any semblance of an apology.

Who better to promote a Celebrate Mental Illness Day than Joe the (almost) talking potato?
A perverted moron with dementia.
Just another bunch of garbage insinuating that people of faith and traditions are bigots and bad. Woah to them who call evil good and good evil.

why should he apologize? for what? doing the will of his father the evil one. of course not.
In Saudi Arabia I used to I used to greet fellow Westerners I knew during that holiday with Eid Me.” And during Hadj at the airport seeing the Hadjis in their towels I had to fight back the urge to say “wa ha pilgrims ( In a John Wayne voice ) or shout “toga, toga, toga.”
I always called it Eid Apple Fritter.
Note. Since my age and disabilities I can never go back to Saudi which is the only reason I can make fun of there now.
Who said anything about 'profit'?
This is an unusual White House statement. Must we now assume that since everything the regime emits is opposite, that Pedo pete is somehow garnering money from his self-declared 'faith'?
He's a non-observant, pro-abortion, Catholic. His own testimony, on video and in Congress, indicates that he hates or distrusts Asians, Negroes, and Middle-Easterners.
Now the White House is worried that he may be accused of "abusing his faith for political purposes or for profit"
Recall that Biden’s DOJ and FBI infiltrated Catholics to smear them as domestic terrorists. The Biden admin is filled with LGBLT extremists who view Christians with contempt and hatred. It’s not surprising that they would insult Christians on Easter.
“Who said anything about ‘profit’?”
I think I read somewhere that if you donate to Trump a certain amount of money they’ll send you a Bible. They are probably referring to that.
“They are probably referring to that.”
I think you’re right. Sort of.
President Trump endorsed a $60 bible that included the words from Lee Greenwood’s song, “God bless the USA”, along with copies of Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and the current Pledge of Allegiance.
And the Bible is the King James version.
The left has gone bonkers over this. Does Trump make money off this? I doubt it. Will I buy one? No.
Truth be told, my go-to bible is KJV av 1611. I have many other Holy scripts from Catholic bibles to Q’urans, to Bhuddist, Shinto, and Talmudic.
Trump may be the Antichrist. But I don’t think so. Let’s wait and see.
If I saw Biden scum in my church, I’d walk out, AND Let them know why as I was doing it.
They make me SICK!
Are you aware that Cole Porter was a homo? The term Bisexual might be more accurate...
This is all done on purpose to stick the knife in further, the knife needs to be used against them in November in mass
The anti-Christ hands out bibles and the KJV to boo subverting our democracy with Christ’s teachings in the English language back when it was beautiful and unperverted by modern journalists and other communist scum.
those who believe in the one True God see this for what it really is...a poke in God’s eye. fear not friends as the the Word makes clear that “Vengeance Is Mine, saith the Lord, I shall repay”. those who Hate God and despise His Word are building up accounts for themselves that one day will be called in. please DON’T be one of them. YOU do right and keep yourself unspotted from what the world does. you know where you are going and cannot be swayed. they do not...and cannot be swayed. this is real and it’s real life. be one of the good guys.
