DeSantis slams President Biden over denying 'Trans Visibility Day' proclamation.
"Who's running the presidency? Is it a bunch of woke, 20-something-year-old White House staffers? So I don't know whose in charge. The fact that he's not owning up to it - either way, it's bad," DeSantis said.
DeSantis also shared how he celebrated Easter with his family, emphasizing the importance of the sacred holiday.
"It's the most important, for Christians, holiday on the calendar. And you know what Biden did, you know, I think was ridiculous, but it does raise the issue," DeSantis said.
In a statement to Fox News Digital, a spokesperson for the White House downplayed the president's comments, noting that he didn't choose March 31 as the date for Transgender Day of Visibility.
Since 2021, when Biden took office, the White House has issued the same proclamation on March 31 every year.

"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. The only thing you should be declaring on this day is ‘HE is Risen’.," Caitlyn Jenner wrote on X.
The White House also announced that it was banning National Guard children from submitting Easter egg designs that include "questionable content, religious symbols, overtly religious themes, or partisan political statements," for the Easter Egg Roll event.

"The art contest is a tradition at the White House Easter Egg Roll however the Catholic president doesn't want to see anything religious-themed," Co-Owner of Trending Politics, Collin Rugg wrote on X.
