The first TDoV was celebrated in 2009 when Easter occurred on April 12. Since then, the two dates coincided only twice: in 2013 and in 2024.

Biden did not invent TDoV, nor set the date to deliberately clash with Easter, which is on a different date every year.

What do you disagree with in that?

No one has suggested Biden invented TDoV nor the date - the comment
was based on which event he CHOSE to promote. Nobody would have raised
eyebrows had Biden promoted the White House Easter Egg hunt which has
gone on for years and is at least tangentially related to Easter.

Promoting TDoV the way he did is equivalent to promoting "National
Fireworks Day" as the main event going on on July 4th - though TDoV
isn't JUST what you suggest ('to celebrate their achievements') but to
promote their status at the event of THE major religious date of the
year.

 He promoted the day on the day that was chosen by members of that
group as their day of recognition over a decade ago. To suggest that
Biden (a long term Christian) chose to recognize TDoV as some sort of
slap at Christianity is... I just don't see how anyone can even
suggest it.

But *YOU* aren't trying to -- as it were -- climb up on a cross...
