Alabama's politicos came out swinging after President Joe Biden proclaimed on Friday that the official "transgender day of visibility" would fall on March 31, Easter Sunday.
The announcement came simultaneously that the annual practice of youth from National Guard families designing Easter eggs "must not include any questionable content, religious symbols, overtly religious themes, or partisan political statements."
Both announcements drew the condemnation of politicians and commentators on social media. Others observed that the Biden administration issued identical proclamations on March 31 for his entire presidency, and this year, it coincidentally landed on Easter.
U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Auburn) repeated his now-famous phrase to describe Democrats, calling them a "Satanic cult."
Because @TheDemocrats are a Satanic cult. https://t.co/9LnOyAiOWg

U.S. Rep. Dale Strong (R-Huntsville) also joined the fray, saying the Biden administration owed people an apology.
The Christian values this nation was founded upon are under attack by the Biden Administration. The day reserved for celebrating the resurrection of our Lord and Savior can never be replaced by woke liberals. Joe Biden owes millions of God-fearing Americans an apology.

U.S. Rep. Barry Moore (R-Enterprise) chimed in, calling the move an "assault on Christianity in America."
This is a direct and intentional assault on Christianity in America.

No matter what Joe Biden wants to call it, tomorrow is a celebration of Jesus Christ and his resurrection. pic.twitter.com/ZwapTpraDI
U.S. Rep. Jerry Carl (R-Mobile) echoed Moore, accusing the Biden administration of stripping the "most Holy day" from Christians.
This is truly sad for a country founded on freedom of religion.

The most Holy day for Christians is being stripped from our hands by this Administration. https://t.co/aGyMvLnuEe
In state politics, Lt. Gov. Will Ainsworth also voiced his opinion, calling on a restoration of "sanity to the White House."
Easter Sunday, the holy day of resurrection of our Lord and Savior, will be celebrated by millions of Alabamians tomorrow.

Joe Biden’s woke agenda finds every opportunity to mock our Christian beliefs, morals, and values.
It’s past time to restore sanity to the White House. pic.twitter.com/c72SxpmlNp
