Florida Governor Ron DeSantis slammed President Biden this week for saying that he did not declare this Easter Sunday as “Transgender Day of Visibility.”
Biden issued an official proclamation on Good Friday that declared that Sunday, March 31st — which was also Easter Sunday — was “Transgender Day of Visibility.”
He further posted about it on Easter, writing on X: “Today, on Transgender Day of Visibility, I have a simple message to all trans Americans: I see you. You are made in the image of God, and you’re worthy of respect and dignity.”
Biden, when pressed about the issue on Monday, said: “I didn’t do that.”
DeSantis responded to Biden’s denial remarks during a press conference on Monday where the governor highlighted his latest victory for Floridians, which he said would save them hundreds of millions of dollars on toll roads.
“Wait a minute, he said that didn’t happen, he said he didn’t do that,” DeSantis exclaimed. “Which raises the question that he’s either not being honest with the public or he really didn’t know what was going on.”
“Who’s running the presidency? Is it a bunch of woke, 20-something-year-old White House staffers?” DeSantis asked. “So I don’t know who’s in charge. The fact that he’s not owning up to it — either way, it’s bad.”
DeSantis said that the holiday was important and that he spent the day with his family.
“It’s the most important, for Christians, holiday on the calendar,” he said. “And you know what Biden did, you know, I think was ridiculous, but it does raise the issue.”
