Rep. Claudia Tenney (R-NY) bashed the Biden administration for its treatment of Easter, saying Democrats are “sexualizing everything.”

In an appearance on Fox Business, Tenney denounced the Biden administration’s decision to acknowledge Easter Sunday as Transgender Visibility Day, along with the inclusion of 145 days of LGBT recognition. The New York Republican said that effort constituted a “war on Christianity” and that she is worried about what Democrats are doing.

“Look, I’ve heard about this all day yesterday, and I have been throughout the district today, and everybody’s talking about it,” she said, referring to President Joe Biden’s declaration that Easter Sunday was Transgender Visibility Day. “It may have not surfaced in polls, but people are talking about it, and people are appalled with this.”

“This is a sacred day, especially celebrated by Christians and respected by all religions,” she continued. “That’s the point of our country — is to respect religious differences. But this is what worries me. … This sexualization of everything on the Left and not focusing on the things that are important. Getting to work … being prosperous, caring for families, and … shouldn’t it be about families? You know? And everything from the Left is against families.”

“Look, I have … all the respect in the world for people who are transgender, but do they need 145 days of LGBT recognition? We don’t even recognize our veterans that many days a year,” Tenney added.

The day has been recognized since 2009 on March 31 each year. It does not normally fall on the same day as Easter, but this year, it did.

Biden’s proclamation that Sunday would be Transgender Visibility Day was met with outcry from Republicans, who saw it as a slight against the holy Christian holiday.

Biden later denied he had declared Easter Sunday as Transgender Visibility Day despite his proclamation.
