The Holy Week of this year definitely won the same White House controversy that marked last year.
A year ago, President Joe Biden took the heat for proclaiming on March 31, which turned out to be Easter Sunday in 2024, as a day of transgender visibility. Biden did not establish the date on purpose (March 31 has reserved Internationale as the transgender visibility day since 2009), but his words of proclamation triggered howls of protest of the right without power.
“Today we send a message to all transgender Americans: you are loved. They listen to you. They understand you,” said the White House statement. “You belong. You are America, and all my administration and I support ourselves. Now, therefore, I, Joseph R. Biden Jr., president of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority saved by the Constitution and the laws of the laws of the Ashen, Ashen, Ashard, Ash. Visibility day.”

After the announcement, the prominent Christians, as well as the users and commentators of the social networks, criticized the Biden administration for insulting the holiness of Easter Sunday, the Christian holidays that the resurrection of Jesus Christ celebrates.
Then the candidate Donald Trump Asked for an immediate apology For millions of Christians and Catholics, and their future Press Secretary of the White House, Karoline Leavitt, described the proclamation of Biden as an example of the “assault of the Biden administration to the Christian faith.” Other prominent Republicans such as Mike Johnson’s speaker, Republican of the la-la., Vivek Ramasswamy, and the then Governor of Dakota de Dakota, Kristi, also lashed out that it was an attack against Christians.
The White House of Biden came out of indignation at that time, noting that Biden had done it on March 31 of the previous three years of its presidency, so it was a lot of noise of anything.
“As a Christian who celebrates Easter with the family, President Biden means joining people and defending the dignity and freedoms of all Americans,” said White House spokesman Andrew Bates in a statement last year. “Unfortunately, not surprising politicians are seijias to divide and weigh our country with a cruel, hateful and dishonest rhetoric. President Biden never abused his faith for political or for profit effects.”

In the Easter last year, Biden also published an expression of messages, warm wishes Christians to celebrate the party day and remembering the sacrifice of Jesus.
