Live from FOX, Gina Francine reports on Easter Sunday from Washington, DC, where the White House has become the center of attention at 8:41 AM on the East Coast. According to the Associated Press, President Joe Biden’s declaration of March 31st as Transgender Day of Visibility, falling on Easter Sunday this year, has drawn criticism from Donald Trump’s campaign and religious conservatives.

Biden’s proclamation, issued on Friday, calls for unity in recognizing and supporting transgender individuals across the nation, aiming to combat violence and discrimination based on gender identity. However, Trump’s campaign and religious figures accuse Biden, a Roman Catholic, of disregarding the significance of Easter, one of Christianity’s holiest days.

Trump’s campaign, along with fellow Republicans, demands an apology from the Biden administration to millions of Catholics and Christians who view Easter solely as a day of celebration for the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The White House spokesperson, Andrew Bates, countered these criticisms, labeling them as divisive and using hateful rhetoric during this election season.

Despite the controversy surrounding Biden’s declaration, Gina Francine continues to provide updates on this Easter Sunday, acknowledging the clash between the celebration of Easter and the observance of Transgender Day of Visibility. As the clock ticks to 8:43 AM on the East Coast, viewers are reminded of the ongoing debate as they await further news developments.

Following a brief commercial break, the broadcast will shift its focus to Vatican City, where the pope’s Easter Mass is eagerly awaited, promising to bring viewers the latest updates from the heart of Catholicism.
