White House disputes religious intolerance accusations

The White House is disputing allegations of religious intolerance stemming from a flap over Easter. The Trump campaign, Republican officials, and some religious conservatives blasted the White House when President Biden proclaimed March 31st as “Transgender Day of Visibility.” This year, Easter Sunday fell on the same date and that outraged Biden critics. House Speaker Johnson said the White House “betrayed the central tenet of Easter.” But the president said he didn’t do that and White House officials say Mr. Biden would never abuse his Christian faith.
