Jean-Pierre: It’s ‘Misinformation’ that Biden Declared Easter Sunday as ‘Transgender Day of Visibility’

Reporter: “So the criticism over the Transgender Day of Visibility, the White House said that the president wouldn’t abuse his faith for political purposes. Does president think that’s what Republicans are doing?”
Jean-Pierre: “I mean, look, just a couple of things. And really, so surprised by the misinformation that’s been out there around this. And I want to be very clear, every year for the past several years on March 31st, Transgender Day of Visibility is March. And as we know, for folks who understand the calendar and how it works, Easter falls on different Sundays, right, every year. And this year, it happened to coincide with trans — Transgender Visibility Day. And so that is the simple fact. That is what has happened. That is where we are. And I do want to say a couple of things, because I think it’s important here as you just stated in your questions, what we’ve been hearing out there, a lot of misinformation done on purpose. And as a Christian, who celebrates Easter with family, President Biden stands for bringing people together and upholding the dignity and freedoms of every American. Now, sadly — and it’s not surprising, right, it is actually unsurprising that politicians are seeking to divide and weaken our country with cruel, hateful, and dishonest rhetoric. It is dishonest what we have heard the past 24 hours. It is untrue what we heard over the weekend.”
