Biden Hits Back at Mike Johnson’s ‘Uninformed’ Trans Day of Visibility Comments
President Joe Biden quipped Monday that Rep. Mike Johnson (R-LA) was “thoroughly uninformed” when he spoke out against Biden’s official acknowledgement of “Transgender Day of Visibility”—a decade-old holiday that falls on March 31 annually, which happened to fall on the same day as Easter this year.
Biden’s quip came during the Easter Egg Roll at the White House, where he briefly spoke with reporters about the fiasco, whipped up by Republicans who it appeared initially thought Biden himself had created the day—including Johnson and Donald Trump.
When asked a follow-up question asking how Johnson was uninformed, Biden reportedly responded, “I didn’t do that.”
