Caitlyn Jenner slams Joe Biden for celebrating Transgender Day of Visibility on Easter Sunday - with key landmarks set to be lit up in colors of trans pride flag

5 months ago 20

Caitlyn Jenner has slammed President Biden for celebrating Easter on the same day as a popular transgender holiday.

The very public chiding came in a post published to X late Saturday, hours before American landmarks are set to be lit pink in celebration of the Transgender Day of Visibility.

This year, the event falls on the same day as the Christian holiday - leading the 73-year-old to lament about a supposed left-led conspiracy she says is making light of it.

One of the world's most famous trans people - also a devout conservative - made her allegiance known in a strongly worded sound-off, taking aim at the president in particular.

She erroneously declared he made one day land on the other on purpose, despite it merely being a calendar-related coincidence.

Caitlyn Jenner took to X Saturday to slam President Biden for holding Easter celebrations on the same day as the Transgender Day of Visibility, a popular transgender holiday

The occassion - held on March 31 for the past 15 years - sees American landmarks like New York's Kosciuszko Bridge (seen here last year) lit pink in celebration, as a show of solidarity with trans citizens

'I am absolutely disgusted that Joe Biden has declared the most Holy of Holy days - a self proclaimed devout Catholic - as Transgender Day of Visibility,' she wrote in a post that was viewed more than 4million times.

'The only thing you should be declaring on this day is "HE is Risen",' the transitioned track star continued, eventually spurring a stream of commentary that honed in on the validity of her assertion.

Several pointed out how the holiday - meant to show solidarity towards the world's transgender population - has been held on the same day sine 2009, with Easter being the one to fall on a different day each year.

One such person said: 'Well seeing as how this has been going on for nine years and Easter changes every year, you're a reactionary trying to get any support from grifting.'

The commenter proceeded to criticize Jenner by bringing up how her Cadillac Escalade rear-ended a woman's car in 2015, resulting in her vehicle traveling into the adjacent lane of traffic where it was hit by an oncoming vehicle.

That resulted in the driver's death - something Jenner was not found legally liable for.

Still, the person sniped: '[S]peaking of people who are risen how is that person you hit with your car in 2015 doing?'

Another onlooker, apparently noticing the irony of such an accusation coming from Jenner, shared a photo of the aging athlete in 2017, celebrating the Transgender Day of visibility with multiple friends.

Trump seemingly took issue with both holidays falling on the same day this year - and issued a statement from his press secretary Saturday that called it 'appalling and insulting' that Biden allowed it be this way

Trump's press secretary Karoline Leavitt issued a scathing rebuke of Biden's Easter plans, branding them 'appalling and insulting' to Christians 

'This you?' the commenter sarcastically knocked, in a reply that's since been liked 4,000 times.

The other reply earned an even more impressive 28,000 within five hours of posting, as well as more than 400,000 views.

Others questioned the root cause of Jenner's antics - which come on the outset of a contentious election year set to be a rematch between Biden and former President Donald Trump.

Trump, too, seemingly took issue with both holidays falling on the same day this year - issuing a statement from his press secretary Saturday that called it 'appalling and insulting' that Biden 'formally proclaimed Easter Sunday as Trans Day of Visibility.'  

He also blasted his successor for not accepting religious Easter egg designs as part of a new initiative that will see America’s Egg Farmers invite kids from National Guard families to submit artwork based on 'Celebrating our Military Families', despite that rule coming from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA).

Speaking through press secretary Karoline Leavitt, the current GOP frontrunner claimed 'these are just two more examples of the Biden Administration's years-long assault on the Christian faith.'

The claims involving Easter, they seemed to stem from an official White House proclamation posted this week, in which Biden appears to be taking credit for the holiday being held this Sunday

In actuality, it was no more than an announcement - one issued three years after Biden became the first American president to issue a formal presidential proclamation recognizing the event

Responding to claims he was trying to make light of Easter on Satuday, a White House rep told DailyMail.com “As a Christian who celebrates Easter with family, President Biden stands for bringing people together and upholding the dignity and freedoms of every American

'Sadly, it’s unsurprising politicians are seeking to divide and weaken our country with cruel, hateful, and dishonest rhetoric. President Biden will never abuse his faith for political purposes or for profit'

Meanwhile, landmarks across the country in cities like New York will still be lit light pink, white and light blue in celbration, for the 15th time in as many years

Emily Metz, CEO of the American Egg Board, shot down claims regarding the so-called egg conspiracy, telling Fox News that  the restrictions are in place because America’s Egg Farmers is bound by 'strict guidelines under the USDA'.

Because of this, the national commodity marketing organization cannot be 'seen to be promoting one political viewpoint or ideology over the other,' she said

Instead, the event set to be held on the White House font lawn will focus exclusively on 'egg promotion and marketing activities', organizers said - putting to rest some of the conspiracy claims being aired by conservatives like Marjorie Taylor Greene.
