Republicans are fired up, and for good reason, as they noticed the White House’s blatant double standard when it comes to their Spanish-language and English-language social media pages. Critics have caught wind that while the English version of the White House’s social media account celebrated the Transgender Day of Visibility, the Spanish version glossed over it entirely. As if that weren’t enough, the Spanish page opted to honor Cesar Chavez Day instead.
Critics Notice What Was Missing From the White House's Spanish-Language Social Media Account on Easter

The Biden administration seemed to imply that it’s okay to push a progressive agenda in English, but when it comes to the Spanish-speaking audience, traditional values are upheld instead. And cue the outrage from conservative circles! They were quick to point out that Hispanic Americans, as a whole, tend to lean more towards Christianity and traditional values, making the administration’s selective messaging all the more suspect.
Leading Republicans wasted no time in lashing out, pointing to this stark contradiction as evidence of Democrats’ desperate attempt to win back the Hispanic voters they lost to Trump. It’s no secret that the Dems are scrambling to regain the support of the Hispanic community, and this could be a sign of their flailing efforts. One prominent figure even went as far as to call out President Biden, claiming that conflating Easter with Transgender Day of Visibility is not just offensive in English, but in all languages.
The underlying accusation here is crystal clear: the White House is deliberately tailoring its messages to pander to specific demographics, depending on what they think will strike a chord. It’s a dangerous game to play and one that conservatives are not about to let slide. The fact that the administration felt the need to juggle different messages between languages only adds fuel to the fire.
In a political climate already fraught with tension and division, this discovery only adds more heat to the fire. The battle over social issues is clearly still ongoing, and the ramifications of playing to different audiences could be far-reaching. As the political chess game continues, it’s clear that both sides are playing for keeps, with no move too calculated or contentious.
