The Democratic National Committee’s broad Easter message to its followers completely backfired yesterday after it snubbed the party’s last sitting president — Joe Biden.
The Democratic National Committee’s official X account made an Easter post that featured a former President Barack Obama and Easter bunny under the caption, “Better times at the White House” — but it was the lack of any mention of Biden that sparked rage across the internet — including from progressives and fellow Dems.

“I like how they just skip past Biden lol,” progressive journalist Ken Klippenstein quipped on X.
“Even better times,” a pro-Biden user account shot back with an image of the 46th president and Jill. “#BetterWithBiden”

“Oof, brutal smack down of Joe Biden,” conservative pundit David Marcus added.
However, others used the viral moment as an ode to Biden, reminding the internet of one of Biden’s infamous Easter memories.
“Imagine ignoring one of the most iconic moments of the most recent Democrat presidency,” user Western Lensmen replied with a clip of a seemingly confused Biden getting redirected by an Easter bunny mascot.

“Weird how you skipped over the last Democrat President’s famous Easter moment,” another user jabbed.
The DNC didn’t immediately respond to a request for a comment at the time of publication.
Obama, who was the only featured president in the message, did put out a post of his own yesterday, wishing Americans “a joyful holiday filled with reminders of the enduring power of faith and hope.”
