Mike Johnson is calling into question Joe Biden's mental acuity after the president said he had nothing to do with declaring March 31 - the same day as Easter - the Transgender Day of Visibility.

Johnson originally hit Biden for scheduling the day to celebrate the lives and accomplishments of trans people on the same day as the holy Christian holiday, calling Biden's move 'outrageous and abhorrent.'

When asked on Monday if he had named Easter the Transgender Day of Visibility, Biden, who is Catholic, denied he had issued the proclamation saying: 'I didn't do that.' 

He lashed back at Johnson, saying the speaker was 'thoroughly uninformed.' 

But Johnson quickly pointed out that Biden signed off on the proclamation, which stated: 'Therefore, I, Joseph R. Biden Jr. ... hereby proclaim March 31, 2024, as Transgender Day of Visibility.'

'Well it's his own signature on the document,' Johnson said on Monday night in an interview with Fox News' Sean Hannity. 

'It's highly possible he doesn't even know what he is signing,' the Republican continued, taking a jab at Biden's mental acuity. 'That might even be more alarming.'
