(Daily Caller) President Joe Biden threw more gasoline on the outcry over his “Transgender Day of Visibility” proclamation after responding to a few questions from the press Monday during the White House’s annual Easter Egg Roll.
Biden sparked backlash Saturday after the White House issued a proclamation Friday, recognizing “Transgender Day of Visibility,” which annually falls on March 31. Easter Sunday also fell on March 31 in 2024. The president responded to House Speaker Mike Johnson, who called it “outrageous” that Easter Sunday was proclaimed “Transgender Day of Visibility.”
“Speaker Johnson said you betrayed the tenet of Easter by proclaiming Sunday, Easter Sunday as Transgender Day,” Owen Jensen, EWTN’s White House correspondent, asked. “He called it outrageous and abhorrent. What do you have to say to Speaker Johnson?”
“He’s thoroughly uninformed,” Biden said, responding to Johnson’s comments.
The president then attempted to expand on how Johnson was “uninformed.”
“I didn’t do that,” Biden responded.
Johnson immediately shot back on Twitter with a screenshot of the president’s proclamation.
“This you, [Biden]?” Johnson wrote.

Other social media users and conservative pundits poked fun at the president for his response, implying that he forgot he issued the proclamation.
“I didn’t do that,” Stephen Miller, contributing editor for the Spectator, tweeted alongside a screenshot of the president’s proclamation.
