Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock is responding to the Republican outcry after President Joe Biden declared “transgender visibility day” on Sunday, which is also Easter Sunday this year.
Warnock, who is a reverend, blasted the criticism, claiming Republicans are trying to “divide” the country and saying that House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) “thinks trans people are hateful.” “.
“This is the opposite of the Christian faith,” Sen. Warnock (D-Ga.) said CNN State of the Union host Dana Bash on Sunday.
Since 2009, Transgender Day of Visibility has been celebrated on March 31, while the date of Easter Sunday varies, but this year it falls on the same day. The date of Easter Sunday will not fall on March 31 again for at least the next decade.
Consistent with practices from previous years of his administration, President Biden issued a statement last week observing the upcoming transgender day on Sunday, sending Republicans into a frenzy.
Sen. Raphael Warnock (R) told CNN on Sunday that the Republican protest over Transgender Day of Visibility on Easter this year is another way the right is “dividing” Americans.
Republican House Speaker Johnson criticized Biden for “betraying the central tenet of Easter” and said “the American people are taking note” of the “scandalous and abhorrent” break with tradition.
“Well, apparently the Speaker finds trans people hateful, and I think he should think about that,” Warnock said in his Sunday interview.
“The fact of the matter is, as you said, March 31 has been a day to uplift transgender people who endure violence and intolerance,” the Democratic senator said. “But this is just one more example of people who don’t know how to guide us and try to divide us.”
The reverend added: “At a time like this we need voices, particularly voices of faith, that use our faith not as a weapon to defeat other people, but as a bridge to unite us.”
Many Republican and Trump-aligned voices joined President Johnson in protesting Biden’s statement, claiming it was eliminating religion even though the president was a devout Catholic.
“For the holiest day of the Christian religion, Biden decides to make it Transgender Day,” Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-Texas) wrote on X, formerly Twitter. ‘I thought this wasn’t real when I read it, but it is. I will be celebrating Jesus and his resurrection this Easter. Biden can continue worshiping (sic) in the alter (sic) of awakening.’
Two days after the statement marking Transgender Day of Visibility, Biden also released a statement on Easter Sunday celebrating the holiday of Christina.
Biden sparked outrage for commemorating Transgender Day of Visibility, which falls on Easter. The White House also banned children from submitting Easter egg designs for this year’s Easter egg roll with any “questionable content,” including political statements and religious images.
Biden sent a message celebrating Easter on Sunday, two days after angering Republicans by releasing a statement commemorating March 31, Transgender Day of Visibility.
“Jill and I send our warmest wishes to Christians around the world celebrating Easter Sunday,” the president wrote.
‘As we gather with our loved ones, we remember the sacrifice of Jesus. We pray for each other and appreciate the blessing of the dawn of new possibilities.’
He also acknowledged foreign wars: “And as wars and conflicts claim innocent lives around the world, we renew our commitment to working for peace, security and dignity for all people.”
Meanwhile, Donald Trump Jr. wrote in an Trans'”. This is the new religion of the left.
‘They want people to worship the trans flag instead of God. “We have to stop them,” he added.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) said: ‘There’s not much Biden and the Democrats aren’t going to mock your faith and mock God.
“We know that Christ is King and that God will not be mocked, just as we know that Joe Biden is not really the one making the decisions in the White House,” he added.
