President Joe Biden reacted to criticism from Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) regarding a White House proclamation in his name recognizing Easter Sunday as Transgender Day of Visibility by bizarrely denying that he issued the proclamation.
“He’s thoroughly uninformed,” Biden said of Speaker Johnson during Monday’s Easter Egg Roll at the White House. When pressed by a reporter on how Johnson was uninformed, the 81-year-old geriatric president said, “I didn’t do that.”
All of which may be even more troubling, according to the speaker.
“Well, it’s his own signature on the document. That’s why we posted it,” he said during an appearance on Fox News’ 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.”
Johnson took to X to denounce the proclamation prior to Biden’s denial, tweeting: “The Biden White House has betrayed the central tenet of Easter — which is the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Banning sacred truth and tradition—while at the same time proclaiming Easter Sunday as ‘Transgender Day’—is outrageous and abhorrent. The American people are taking note.”
After Biden denied the proclamation, the GOP leader shared the document that stated in part, “Now, therefore, I, Joseph R. Biden Jr., President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim March 31, 2024 as Transgender Day of Visibility.”
The speaker asked, “This you?”
This you, @JoeBiden? https://t.co/p7zmhlhQLm pic.twitter.com/ZIT6v7tiHO

The story prompts serious concerns about how aware a cognitively -challenged Biden is of the daily goings on and who is really pulling the strings in the White House.
Here’s a quick sampling of responses to the story, as seen on X:
.@POTUS is either detached from reality, or completely detached from what his White House staff is doing.
Actually, both are most likely true. https://t.co/CUBgbN6ad0 pic.twitter.com/owu5nzPZmg

If Biden didn’t do it, who signed his name to the official proclamation.
It’s bad enough he deliberately desecrated the most sacred holy day in the Christian faith. Then he lies about it. https://t.co/ih1L2bwoLj

Once again, the big problem here isn’t that he did it.
It’s that he doesn’t know he did it.
Because he’s not running the show.
Because he’s old and senile enough and past it that his staff can a) get shit like this past him w no notice or b) do it rogue and not have him notice https://t.co/aWvlJCuxw7

It’s hard to figure out which possibility is funnier here — that he has no idea what’s being said under his name in proclamations and public posts, or that he’s already forgotten what happened literally yesterday https://t.co/32cr7F7iLU

It’s easy to deny the truth when the media won’t forcefully push back.
