White House Responds to Christian and GOP Backlash Over ‘Transgender Day of Visibility’ Proclamation — Does Not Apologize

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.

George Soros, Barack Hussein Obama, and the Commie Pope.

A perfect trifecta.

Trump's right.

They wouldn’t be behaving this way, unless they knew for certain that the fix will be in, yet again, during the November general election.

“Outrage” is so incredibly overused. I’m not outraged in the slightest. Nor am I surprised. Pandering to substantially less than 1% of the population isnt the point. Destroying anything and everything about our society, including the gender binary, is the point. All I am is hopeful that it will be one more straw on the camel’s back for the low information types.

And we do not acknowledge any declaration that is designed to take away from the glory of the Resurrection of our Savior. We don’t recognize any blasphemous “visibility” of sin.

I dunno. The Democrats are printing ballots as we are speaking. They're perfecting their fraud methods just in time for the election.

I suppose we should be happy that the filthy pedophile wasn’t our molesting young children at an Easter egg hunt somewhere.

***White House Responds to Christian and GOP Backlash Over ‘Transgender Day of Visibility’ Proclamation — Does Not Apologize***

A Dem official in NYC forced the NYCFD to take down an American flag honoring 9/11 heroes because it is 'fascist'!

NY Gov Hochul ordered rainbow flags and projections for Easter, etc.

Senate Dems are pressing Joe to legalize as full citizens the millions of invaders they have let in. Crime and disease is rampant! Florida has five cases of leprosy.

The Venezuelan fanning a wad of $100 bills laughing at Americans as saps for making him rich - while he instructs other invaders on how to seize residences by squatting.

Joe is proposing tax hikes in an election year AND in an inflation!

I just don't see any evidence that the Dems give a flitter of concern for the November election! America, beware!

Western Christian Easter will not fall again on March 31 until sometime after 2060.

I’m in my seventh decade...not likely to pass this way again.

No apology was needed and the objective was achieved. At Northwest Christian College where I was finance director, the president one day gave his understanding of the Mormon young people sent on mission trips in local neighborhoods. He said the intent was not so much to evangelize as to solidify them into the Mormon faith.

I would interpret the purpose of this proclamation in the same light. The latter words do not diminish the instruction provided. The choice of Easter now requires churches that first of all identify with progressive/liberal/Democrat agendas to further confirm their faith principles by making adjustments to their understanding of scripture to place Transgenderism in proper relationship to Christianity. The choice of Easter Sunday says to me they are confident of further committing this ever-growing compliant segment of churches to the political agenda of Cultural Marxism as a substitute for what remains of our Republic.

My son and I had a similar experience when the pastor of the church he left had to deal with his interpretation of Christianity that gave unqualified support for whatever action blacks might take, because of his perception of the pervasive prejudice against blacks by his mostly white congregation and of whites in general. His sermon made the case that essentially Micah Johnson’s killing of five police officers was a reaction to our bigotry.

Dallas sniper shooting: 5 police officers slain, suspect ID’d as Army vet Micah Johnson Earlier in the day, Dallas Police Chief David Brown described a chilling exchange between Johnson and officers attempting to negotiate his surrender. “The suspect said he was upset at white people. The suspect stated he wanted to kill white people, especially white officers,” Brown said. “The suspect said he was upset about Black Lives Matter. He said he was upset about the recent police shootings.”
