House Speaker Mike Johnson has doubts over whether President Biden fully understood what he was doing when he issued a proclamation declaring March 31, the same day as Easter this year, as Transgender Day of Visibility.
When asked during the White House Easter Egg Roll Monday about Johnson claiming on X that Biden – who is reputed devout Catholic – “betrayed” Easter tenets, the president accused the speaker of being “thoroughly uninformed” before retorting “I didn’t do that.”
However, the presidential document reads in part “I, Joseph R. Biden Jr… do hereby proclaim March 31, 2024 as Transgender Day of Visibility.”
Johnson pointed out out the discrepancy in an interview with Fox News’ Sean Hannity Monday and suggested the controversy is another indication of questions about the president’s mental acuity.
“Well, it’s his own signature on the document. That’s why we posted it,” he said on “Hannity.” “The evidence speaks for itself, as we used to say in the courtroom.”
“[I]t’s highly possible that he doesn’t even know what he’s signing,” he added. “[T]hat might be even more alarming.”
