Joe Biden appears to have forgotten he declared Easter Sunday as Transgender Day of Visibility, flat-out denying he issued the proclamation.
Did Biden forget he took instructions from his handlers? Perhaps he was going through the motions?
Biden’s claim comes following massive backlash from Christians over his proclamation.
Here is what Biden wrote on social media:
“Today, on Transgender Day of Visibility, I have a simple message to all trans Americans: I see you,” Biden wrote on X.
“You are made in the image of God, and you’re worthy of respect and dignity.”
Today, on Transgender Day of Visibility, I have a simple message to all trans Americans:

I see you.

A reporter asked the president about the matter during the White House Easter Egg Roll.
“Mr. President, what does Easter mean to you, sir?” the reporter asked.
“Sir, what does Easter mean to you?”
“Devout Catholic” Biden responded:
“Time for forgiveness and people getting together and a little bit of love and no phoniness. Be straight with people.”
The reporter then highlighted the criticism about proclaiming that Sunday was Transgender Day of Visibility.
“And Mr. Speaker Johnson the other day said, sir, Speaker Johnson said you betrayed the tenet of Easter by proclaiming Sunday, Easter Sunday, as Transgender Day. He called it outrageous and abhorrent,” the reporter said.
“What do you say to Speaker Johnson?”
“He’s thoroughly uninformed,” Biden claimed. “I didn’t do that.”
He didn’t do that? Is this Biden’s dementia kicking in or pure gaslighting?
Watch
Following the backlash, the White House issued a statement suggesting Biden meant that he hadn’t been the one who established the Transgender Day of Visibility.
White House Spokesman Andrew Bates told Fox News Digital in a statement.
“President Biden is right. He did nothing in conflict with the ‘tenets of Easter,’ which he celebrated yesterday, nor did he choose the date of March 31st for the Transgender Day of Visibility, which has been set since 2009.”
