White House responds to GOP criticism as Transgender Day of Visibility falls on Easter

The White House responded Saturday to GOP criticism that the Transgender Day of Visibility, which is observed each year on March 31, falls on Easter.

Republicans criticized President Biden after he issued a Friday proclamation, recognizing March 31 as Transgender Day of Visibility, as he has done for every year he has been in the Oval Office. 

From the Trump campaign to the House leadership, Republicans went after Biden for mocking faith as Easter this year falls on March 31. 

“The Biden White House has betrayed the central tenet of Easter — which is the resurrection of Jesus Christ,” House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) said Saturday on X, formerly known as Twitter.
