U.S. Congressional Candidate Blake Masters (R-AZ-8) said it was “sick and demonic” for the Biden Administration to proclaim Easter Sunday a day for honoring cross-dresses while also prohibiting religious symbols from the annual White House Egg Roll event.

“Joe Biden replacing Easter with 'trans day of visibility' while banning the crucifix from the White House egg hunt — sick and demonic,” Masters posted on X. “But we know who wins in the end — indeed today is the day our Lord descended into Hades and gained the final victory over Death.”

“Glory to Jesus Christ!” posted Masters. 

Biden issued a proclamation calling March 31, 2024, Easter Sunday, as a “Transgender Day of Visibility.” This proclamation says that on Easter Sunday, “we honor the extraordinary courage and contributions” of cross-dressing Americans and “reaffirm our Nation’s commitment to forming a more perfect union.”

A call for youth art submissions for the annual White House Easter Egg Roll event instructs children that, “the Submission must not include any questionable content, religious symbols, overtly religious themes, or partisan political statements.”

These actions showed that the Biden Administration had "declared open hostility" toward Easter Sunday, said League of American Workers President Steve Cortes. 

Masters is one of four candidates currently running in the Republican primary to represent the 8th Congressional District. The district is currently represented by U.S. Rep. Debbie Lesko (R), who announced last year that she will be retiring at the end of the current term.

After growing up and attending high school in Tucson, Masters graduated from Stanford University and received his J.D. from Stanford Law School. He then co-founded legal research startup Judicata.

He is co-author of the bestselling business book, “Zero to One: Notes on a Startup” with Peter Thiel, and served as president of the Thiel Foundation. Masters married his wife, Catherine, in 2012 and they have four sons.
