Thanks for posting this. It's a perfect illustration of the intellectual dishonesty Breitbart and other propaganda outlets use to radicalize morons.

Even though it explains that Isaac retracted his statement when he found out that that the thing they told him to be angry about was a lie (Biden didn't declare today to be trans day of visibility, it's just March 31st and March 31st is trans day of visibility, and sometimes Easter falls on the 31st), they still imply that Biden invented it and could (and should) have canceled it because it offends two billion Christians - implying that it's normal and okay for Christians to be intolerant and hateful,

The article then ends with a complete pivot to complaining about a policy the White House has followed since the 70s discouraging overt religious symbology during the WH Easter event, strongly implying that this was also just now made up by the Biden admin, and also anti-Christian; A policy that was not even mentioned by Isaac in his original or followup tweets.

So thank you again, OP, for posting this. It's a cautionary tale and a fine insight into the minds of the kind of people whose job it is to make sure Americans stay angry about non-issues so they won't pay attention to the permanent grift that they've been the victim of for going on half a century now.

It's definitely newsworthy, that's for sure.
