The Democratic National Committee has erased former President Joe Biden from its Easter message in a humiliating snub that reveals just how quickly the party wants to forget the disastrous leader who sacrificed his political future for them.

Democrats Forget Their Own President in Easter Message
The Democratic National Committee has made a stunning political misstep that speaks volumes about the party’s eagerness to distance itself from the failed Biden presidency. In what can only be described as a deliberate snub, the DNC’s Easter social media post featured a parade of former Democratic presidents including Jimmy Carter, John F. Kennedy, Barack Obama, and Bill Clinton – but conspicuously excluded Joe Biden. The omission comes after Biden reluctantly stepped aside from seeking reelection earlier this year amid growing concerns about his age and cognitive abilities.
Biden’s absence from the DNC’s Easter messaging underscores how quickly the Democratic Party has moved to erase the memory of his presidency following their crushing defeat in November. After Biden withdrew from the race, Kamala Harris took his place as the Democratic nominee only to lose decisively to President Trump, who secured both the Electoral College and the popular vote for the first time in his political career. The DNC’s handling of this situation reveals the brutal reality of politics – yesterday’s leader becomes today’s liability.
Biden’s Transgender Controversy Overshadowed Easter
This latest snub follows former president Biden’s controversial decision to proclaim Easter Sunday 2024 as Transgender Day of Visibility, a move that sparked widespread outrage among Christians and conservatives. The proclamation appeared to deliberately overshadow one of Christianity’s most sacred holidays with a politically charged observance. The International Transgender Day of Visibility has been observed annually on March 31 since 2009, but Biden’s formal presidential proclamation on Easter Sunday was viewed by many as a calculated affront to religious Americans.
“Today, we send a message to all transgender Americans: You are loved. You are heard. You are understood. You belong. You are America, and my entire Administration and I have your back.” – Joe Biden
Biden’s administration attempted to defend the controversial timing, claiming the president was simply trying to unite Americans. But the backlash was swift and severe, with conservatives pointing to the proclamation as yet another example of the administration’s hostility toward traditional religious values and deliberate prioritization of progressive identity politics over respect for America’s predominant faith traditions.
President Trump Delivers Scathing Assessment
President Trump didn’t miss the opportunity to highlight Biden’s failed presidency in his own Easter message. In a characteristically direct statement, Trump specifically called out Biden’s catastrophic border policies that allowed millions of illegal immigrants to pour into the country during his term. The border crisis remains one of the most damaging legacies of the Biden administration, with communities across America still dealing with the consequences of those policies.
“Sleepy Joe Biden purposefully allowed Millions of CRIMINALS to enter our Country, totally unvetted and unchecked, through an Open Borders Policy that will go down in history as the single most calamitous act ever perpetrated upon America.” – Donald Trump
Trump further minced no words in his assessment of Biden’s presidency, calling him “our WORST and most Incompetent President” and referencing the persistent questions about who was actually making decisions during the Biden administration. The DNC’s decision to exclude Biden from their Easter message suggests that even his own party may silently agree with this assessment, preferring to memory-hole his presidency rather than celebrate it alongside other Democratic leaders.
The Silent Treatment Speaks Volumes
The DNC has refused to comment on Biden’s conspicuous absence from their Easter message, with Fox News Digital reporting that requests for explanation went unanswered. This silence speaks volumes about the party’s strategy moving forward – pretending the Biden years never happened while trying to rebuild their brand around other Democratic figures past and present. It’s a stark reminder of how quickly political fortunes can change and how ruthlessly parties will distance themselves from failed leaders.
Biden reportedly expressed regret about not running for reelection, believing he could have defeated Trump despite all evidence to the contrary. The DNC’s Easter snub suggests the party leadership vehemently disagrees with this assessment and wants nothing more than to move past the Biden era as quickly and quietly as possible. For a man who sacrificed his political future for his party, this public erasure may be the most painful part of his post-presidential legacy.
