MXM Exclusive

Quick Hit:

When asked by a reporter about criticism to the White House's declaration of "Transgender Day of Visibility" on Easter Sunday, President Joe Biden seemingly forgot making the declaration, responding, "I didn't do that."

Key Details:

  • Biden had been asked by a pool reporter: "Speaker Johnson called it outrageous that Easter Sunday was 'Transgender Day of Visibility,' what do you say to Speaker Johnson?"
  • Biden responded by calling Speaker Johnson "uninformed," adding, "I didn't do that."
  • Biden's official and personal accounts both tweeted about the White House's declaration over the weekend, adding to statements from Vice President Kamala Harris and Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi.

Diving Deeper:

Reacting to the incident, Trump National Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt tweeted, "Biden is either confused and doesn’t know what his own White House does… or he’s lying. Which is it?" 

The incident, which occured during the annual White House Easter Egg Roll adds to a series of events where the President has appeared to be at odds with his own statements or the statements of others in his administration. 

Critics, especially from conservative circles, view these incidents as reflective of a deeper issue in the Biden administration's approach to policy communication—arguing that such instances demonstrate a lack of coherence and question the President's capacity to effectively convey and stand by his policies.
