White House Condemns GOP Outcry Over Trans Visibility Day Coinciding with Easter

President Biden responded to Rep. Mike Johnson's criticism of the official acknowledgement of "Transgender Day of Visibility" by calling him "thoroughly uninformed" during the Easter Egg Roll at the White House. The fiasco was sparked by Republicans who mistakenly thought Biden had created the day, with Johnson criticizing the proclamation and the White House's rules for an Easter egg art contest. The White House press secretary addressed the misinformation, explaining that Easter and Transgender Day of Visibility coincided this year due to the nature of the calendar, and the ban on religious imagery in the contest has been in place since 1978.
