Watch: Biden Botches Name of Easter Bunny During White House Easter Egg Roll, Gets Ruthlessly Mocked
President Joe Biden was ruthlessly mocked online Monday after he misspoke when attempting to say the words “Easter bunnies” during the annual White House Easter egg roll.
As Biden asked those in attendance on the South Lawn to welcome his costumed guests, he invited the bunnies to join him on the White House balcony.
“Thank you all so very, very much,” the 81-year-old president said to applause.
He then added, “Thanks, everybody, and, by the way, say hello to oyster bunnies.”
First lady Jill Biden did not outwardly react to her husband’s failed delivery, but the slip sent users of the social media platform X into a frenzy.
There’s no misinterpreting that.
Biden clearly said “oyster bunnies.”
The White House is an embarrassment.

Joe Biden
Found to be not mentally competent enough to stand trial for his theft of classified documents
But totally capable of running for a second term while refusing a cognitive test
God bless America
God bless the Oyster Bunnies https://t.co/P9sRVjcPQH

The official White House transcript of Biden’s remarks omitted the slip of the tongue and read as though the president delivered the line without a gaffe.
The failed delivery of the line came one day after he had proclaimed Easter Sunday as “Transgender Day of Visibility.”
The date, March 31, had been recognized by Biden before, but he was criticized for using it this year to overshadow a day in which Christians around the world gathered to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus.
The president doubled down on social media by celebrating so-called transgender people on the holiest day of the year.
Today, on Transgender Day of Visibility, I have a simple message to all trans Americans:
I see you.
You are made in the image of God, and you’re worthy of respect and dignity. pic.twitter.com/ihvsJrXEyd

In addition to Transgender Day of Visibility syncing up with Easter Sunday this year, Christians also felt insulted after the Biden administration upheld a ban on religious imagery in the White House’s Easter egg art contest. Originally many conservatives – and The Western Journal – incorrectly blamed the ban on the Biden administration, but according to NBC News the ban had been in place for decades. That Trump didn’t roll back the ban is also a disappointment to many conservative Christians.
Children of the men and women in the National Guard were prohibited from expressing faith in Easter egg designs, the New York Post reported.
CORRECTION, July 25, 2024: Originally this article reported the Biden administration was responsible for the banning of religious imagery at the 2024 White House Easter egg design contest. In fact that ban had been in place before Biden took office. The Western Journal has updated the article accordingly and apologizes for the error.
