Former President Trump calls for apology from President Biden over ‘Transgender Day of Visibility’ on Easter
Former President Donald Trump has called for an immediate apology from President Joe Biden after the White House marked March 31 as “Transgender Day of Visibility,” which this year falls on Easter Sunday.
Trump’s national press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, condemned Biden’s decision, calling it “appalling and insulting” to millions of Christians and Catholics. Leavitt accused the Biden administration of launching a “years-long assault on the Christian faith.”
The controversy escalated after the White House banned religious egg designs in its Easter Art Event, stating that submissions must not include any religious symbols or themes. This move further fueled criticism from conservative figures, who accused the administration of disrespecting Easter traditions.
Prominent politicians and commentators, including House Speaker Mike Johnson and former Olympic gold medalist Caitlyn Jenner, expressed outrage over the timing of the ‘Transgender Day of Visibility’ on Easter Sunday. Trump’s eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., labeled it as the left’s new religion, while other critics slammed Biden for what they perceived as an attack on Christianity.
In response to the backlash, the White House defended its decision, stating that President Biden remains committed to upholding the dignity and freedoms of every American. The administration denounced the divisive rhetoric surrounding the issue and emphasized the president’s dedication to bringing people together.
The clash between the Biden administration and conservative voices highlights the ongoing cultural and political divisions in the country. As the debate continues, the controversy over the ‘Transgender Day of Visibility’ coinciding with Easter underscores the deep-seated tensions surrounding issues of faith, identity, and inclusion in American society.
