GOP slams Biden honoring trans people on Easter | Cuomo

let's bring in Democratic strategist James Carville and news Nation correspondent at large haraldo Rivera I like to call it a little bet a first of all first of all James thank you for joining us when LSU's women team is playing right now let alone against Iowa and Caitlyn Clark very generous uh of you to give us the opportunity appreciate it haraldo I like to call these controversy or nontroversy is this a legit controversy that Biden did this conflating the two and if so why I think it is I th

ink that it is Staff work that is horrible he should fire the people responsible immediately it's like not mentioning the slain New York City Cop uh during their festive occasion when he was joined by presidents Clinton and Obama it's just a failure uh you know that leads more people to think about this as the crucifixion of trump he successfully co-opted the uh the Easter weekend uh and made Biden look like an insensitive woke uh uh old fool it's just the it's it's incompetence of the of the hi

ghest or lowest depending on your point of view level Chris James what do you think about this well I honestly think it's profoundly stupid as if Biden even knew it was transgender awareness thing by the way Biden goes to mass and communion every week as you all know you couldn't find trumping inside of a church anywhere this I I really think this is utterly absurd I don't think anybody in the White House was was aware of this as you point out it's it's it's a constant day it's on March 31st and

but I don't know anywhere in Trump's Bible where Jesus tells me to hate trans people or gay people any other people I I I just think this of course there unfortunately there like 120 policemen killed a year in the United States it's terrible but to say and he had a fundraiser that was scheduled for God knows how long ago I just think that we have false equivalence nitpick in here I really do Optics Optics James I am with you on everything you just said about what should matter and why certainly

when it comes to religiosity but did you would you have done this would you have had this Proclamation come out on Easter Sunday and given the kind of attention that they did knowing how charged an environment is if it was every year if it was every year on March 31st and I don't think Biden knew I don't think Mike or Anita or any of I mean it's hardly something that gets to the upper echelon of the White House but it it I'm not outraged by it all I I feel I I want charity for transgender peopl

e they have high suicide rates they have difficult lives and why do these right- Wingers want to come jump all over them when the message of Easter is love and we're all equal and Jesus never said a anti word about gay people or transgender people I just think I'm just giving y'all have me on here I think think the whole thing is absurd listen I wish you were right my concern is that by doing this you fuel animus towards the trans Community that's why I ask whether anything good could come out o

f it I'll tell you where I agree with your line of reasoning of the absurdity uh Heraldo coming back to you is on the uh Biden bound up on the back of the truck thing is it in bad taste for Trump to have shared it of course he is the personification of bad taste but I don't believe that this was a suggestion that Trump wants to take over America and destroy the Democracy am I missing it I think that the point that with all due respect to James who of course is a professional at this and I'm an a

mateur uh who who won the weekend uh let let's talk about real hardcore pragmatic politics there were headlines throughout the country certainly in and around New York City about the Jos of the uh the the Biden fundraiser and the cops funeral now you have the ju position between uh the holiest weekend in the Christian calendar uh Easter Sunday and uh you know the transgender God bless transgender people I have transgender Grand nephews I understand I'm tremendously sympathetic but this is about

who wins in the political Arena and what this has fueled is more of the uh the whole concept it's not the the prosecution of trump it's the persecution of trump he's the personification of the of the religious uh right he is uh despite his history and and all the reality that goes with grabbing by the you know the you know Watson and all the rest of it Trump is coming out as the as the the anointed one hey thank you for watching please go to newsnation now.com newsnation now.com and you can find
