The far-right is outraged over a traditional White House Easter event Sunday where kids will be invited to hit hard-boiled eggs with wooden spoons.
"A deliberate push for his extreme policies," declared Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson (R-NC).
"They must be stopped," warned Donald Trump Jr.
"Disgraceful," claimed Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY).
The cause of their moral outrage? A flyer and an international holiday that has existed since 2010.
Specifically, the conservatives were angry over a White House invitation inviting children from families of the National Guard submit artwork to appear on the traditional holiday event eggs kindly refrain from using religious symbols.
It also asks kids not to submit artwork that is disparaging, defamatory, hateful, discriminatory, unlawful, or promoting drugs or firearms.
While the White House does not make any distinction toward a particular religion, the far right leaders who expressed their outrage felt the restriction was an insult to one in particular.
"Joe Biden has taken it upon himself to disrespect our Christian values," said Robinson.
"He bans Christian symbols," said Stefanik.
The trio also were particularly outraged that the White House decided this year to acknowledge the Trans Day of Visibility, which normally falls on March 31 and this year, on Easter.

"Transgender Day of Visibility celebrates the joy, strength, and absolute courage of some of the bravest people I know — people who have too often had to put their jobs, relationships, and lives on the line just to be their true selves," Biden said in a written statement. "
Today, we show millions of transgender and nonbinary Americans that we see them, they belong, and they should be treated with dignity and respect."
Trump Jr. responded with the statement, "This is the left's new religion. They want people worshiping the trans flag instead of God."
Religion was pushed to the forefront of the political discussion this week when his father, former President Donald Trump, decided to hawk $60 Bibles amid financial woes that include legal fees linked to civil and criminal trials and dwindling campaign coffers.

"Just what the world needs," New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd quipped Saturday, "a soul cleanse with a grifter Bible, where the profits could well be going to pay legal costs in trials about breaking commandments — bearing false witness to try to steal democracy, coveting a porn star, then paying the star hush money to keep quiet about the sex."
Trump also managed to pull artwork into the 2024 presidential race debate by sharing images of Biden hog-tied, raising concerns that his increasingly aggressive rhetoric could result in violence against elected officials.
“No one is saying Trump can’t campaign or that he can’t criticize Biden,” former prosecutor Joyce Vance said in her plea for greater restrictions against the former president.
“What he can’t do is suggest Biden should be kidnapped, knocked out & bound in the back of a pickup truck. I can’t believe that I have to write that out—there is no universe in which that’s acceptable.”
