Fox News hosts complained that President Joe Biden’s administration had a plan to introduce paganism at Easter — despite the holiday’s roots in pagan traditions.
After Fox & Friends showed off Easter basket ideas complete with decorated eggs and bunny ears, they took on Biden for issuing a proclamation for the transgender day of visibility.
“A girl with the pink sweater Easter egg bunny ears because it is Easter,” host Rachel Campos-Duffy said, pointing to one child.
“But it is a holy day, and I think one of the things that we’ve been highlighting all throughout the show is the importance of Christians to take responsibility for honoring, making this day holy, not allowing, you know, the commercialization and much less this other pagan path that the trans day visibility is trying to, you know, the White House is trying to overshadow this holy day with that ridiculous proclamation on the same day as the day that our Lord is risen,” Campos-Duffy added.
“It’s a pagan liturgical calendar that they want to make us adhere to,” co-host Pete Hegseth agreed moments later. “And I think a lot of Americans have just had enough of this.”
According to the Guardian, both Easter eggs and bunnies have connections to paganism.
“All the fun things about Easter are pagan. Bunnies are a leftover from the pagan festival of Eostre, a great northern goddess whose symbol was a rabbit or hare. Exchange of eggs is an ancient custom, celebrated by many cultures,” the outlet noted.
Editor’s Note: Just so the record is clear, March 31st has always been Transgender Visibility Day. Easter just happened to coincide.
