Minnesota GOP Rep. Tom Emmer blasted President Joe Biden on social media over the weekend, claiming he declared Easter Sunday as "Transgender Day of Visibility" - which happened to fall on the same day this year - while also falsely saying he was "banning children from using religious symbols for a White House Easter egg art contest." The House Majority Whip posted the criticism on X over the weekend and doubled down on the claim in tweets this week from his campaign account, sharing a Fox News...
