As reported on Friday, this year's event included an Easter egg design contest for the children of National Guard members, with the theme centered around celebrating National Guard families. However, the contest rules explicitly forbade any religious mention of Easter on the egg designs.
The contest guidelines stated that an Easter egg design submission "must not include any questionable content, religious symbols, overtly religious themes, or partisan political statements." This decision has sparked controversy, with critics arguing that it undermines the religious significance of the holiday.

Adding fuel to the fire, the White House issued a special proclamation on Good Friday, designating Sunday not as Easter, but as "Transgender Visibility Day". This move has been met with backlash, with critics accusing the Biden administration of prioritizing political correctness over religious tradition.

The President's decision to leave town for a vacation amidst the controversy has left many unanswered questions. However, Team Trump was quick to respond, releasing a statement on Saturday condemning the administration's actions.

The statement read: “It is appalling and insulting that Joe Biden’s White House prohibited children from submitting religious egg designs for their Easter Art Event, and declared Easter Sunday as ‘Trans Day of Visibility.' Sadly, these are just two more examples of the Biden Administration’s years-long assault on the Christian faith. We call on Joe Biden’s failing campaign and White House to issue an apology to the millions of Catholics and Christians across America who believe tomorrow is for one celebration only — the resurrection of Jesus Christ.”

For conservatives, this issue is non-negotiable. Easter is the holiest and most sacred day for Christians, and the perceived disregard shown by the Biden team is seen as inexcusable. The swift and pointed response from Team Trump, led by Trump 2024 national press secretary Karoline Leavitt, is a departure from the typical holiday weekend news lull.
This proactive approach is seen as a positive sign for conservatives as they prepare for the upcoming summer conventions and fall election. The rapid response from Team Trump is a stark contrast to the perceived lack of urgency from the other side, and could signal a shift in strategy as the political landscape continues to evolve.
