Trump SLAMS Biden’s ‘blasphemous’ move to declare Easter Sunday ‘Transgender Day of Visibility’ as outrage grows after the White House also banned children from submitting religious-themed designs for an egg art event

Former President Trump blasted President Biden for his “appalling and offensive” decision to ban children from submitting religious Easter egg designs, while declaring that this Easter Sunday will officially become Transgender Day of Visibility.

Biden sparked a widespread backlash after breaking tradition, with his expected 2024 election opponent leading the outrage.

“Unfortunately, these are just two more examples of the Biden administration’s years-long assault on the Christian faith,” Trump’s press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement on Saturday.

“We call on Joe Biden’s failing campaign and the White House to apologize to the millions of Catholics and Christians across America who believe that tomorrow is only one celebration: the resurrection of Jesus Christ.”

The White House has sparked outrage by banning children from submitting Easter egg designs for this year’s Easter egg roll with “questionable content,” including political statements and religious imagery.

The White House sparked controversy over this year’s Easter plans on Friday when Biden declared that March 31 – which falls on Easter Sunday this year – will officially become Transgender Day of Visibility.

Biden, a devout Catholic, also took the opportunity to deliver a scathing attack on Republicans when he made the proclamation, while emphasizing that “transgender Americans are part of the fabric of our nation.”

“But extremists are proposing hundreds of hateful bills that target and terrify transgender children and their families – silencing teachers; ban books; and even threaten parents, doctors and nurses with jail time for helping parents care for their children,” he said in an interview press release.

“At the same time, an epidemic of violence against transgender women and girls, especially women and girls of color, continues to claim too many lives. Let me be clear: all of these attacks are un-American and they must end.

“Today we send a message to all transgender Americans: you are loved. You are heard. You are understood. You belong. You are America, and my entire government and I stand with you.”

Trump was not alone in his wrath, as the move quickly sparked widespread anger among conservatives.

Former presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy was among the first to wade into the controversy. as he mused “I wonder how (Biden) came up with that date” by clashing Easter Sunday with the transgender tribute day.

Republican Speaker of the House of Representatives Mike Johnson hit Biden for “betraying the central principle of Easter,” and said “the American people are taking note” of the “outrageous and abhorrent” tradition-breaking steps.

So does Senator Tom Cotton of Arkansas felt that Biden’s ‘overt disdain for Christians is no coincidence.’ Senator Tommy Tuberville of Alabama also called Democrats “a satanic cult” in response.

Republican Senate candidate Jim Banks called It an “absolute disgrace,” adding, “What a slap in the face to hundreds of millions of Christians in America and around the world.” Voters will not forget this in November.”

Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia said, “There is no length between Biden and the Democrats will not go to mock your faith, and thumb its nose at God.

“We know that Christ is King and that God is not to be trifled with, just as we know that Joe Biden is not really the one calling the shots in the White House.”

Although March 31 has become the official Transgender Day of Visibility, Easter Sunday will not fall on that day again for the next ten years.

It comes as the White House sparked controversy over the Easter Egg Roll tradition, which will take place on Monday at an event dating back to 1877.

The White House doubled down on the response by also banning religious imagery in entries from children of military families participating in the traditional Easter Egg Roll event, as critics labeled the actions an “attack on Christianity.”

Part of this year’s Easter Egg Bread tradition focuses on “Celebrating Our Military Families,” and includes entries of festively designed eggs painted by children of National Guard troops.

However, National Guard families participating in the traditional Easter Egg Roll event will not see their entries count if they contain “questionable content,” including “religious symbols, overtly religious themes or partisan political statements.”

Children will also be prohibited from designing their eggs with anything that “promotes bigotry, racism, hatred or harm against any group or individual, or promotes discrimination based on race, sex, religion, nationality, disability, sexual orientation or age.’

This move led to a backlash, with many feeling that the religious basis of the Easter holiday meant that religious symbols should be welcome at the event.

Conservative policy researcher Jeremy Carl tweeted that it shows that the president and Democrats “hate America’s heritage… and they show it again and again.”

“The war on Christianity continues,” said another critic, as others noted, “We need to remind the White House that Easter is a Christian holiday that celebrates the belief in the resurrection of Jesus Christ.”

Others noted that Biden often made a point of his Catholic faith during his campaign, while conservative influencers “the Hodge twins” added: “I think Easter is off this year.”
