Joe Biden might not be president anymore, but that isn’t stopping his handlers from making out-of-touch public statements on his behalf.

Most recently, his X account shared a post commemorating International Women’s Day. While the sentiment might have seemed innocuous on its own, many users found it offensive in the context of his administration’s stance on gender.

Here’s a full transcript of the post above:

Like so many of you, I’m celebrating the incredible women in my life today. International Women’s Day is a time to recognize the achievements of women and girls everywhere and recommit our efforts to advance dignity, opportunity, and equality for all. When women and girls succeed, communities, economies, and democracies succeed.

In addition to the responses from several high-profile accounts, Fox News shared some of the notable social media reactions:

“They don’t succeed when men take over their spaces,” one X user wrote.

Another X user wrote, “Is that why you humiliated our women by putting men in women’s sports? Asking for my Sisters and Daughters ? Or do you even know you did it?”

“Hey Joe. What is a woman? Is your way to celebrate it by letting men into women’s sports? Taking away the identity of actual women?” another user wrote.

Biden’s record of allowing trans athletes to compete in women’s and girls sports became one of the Democratic Party’s biggest vulnerabilities in the 2024 election.

The New York Post also covered Biden’s post and the response it received:

During Biden’s presidency, he signed an executive order that allowed trans athletes to compete in women’s and girls sports, attempted to rewrite Title IX to allow it and even tried to punish states for taking their own steps to combat the issue.

Since Biden left office, Democrats in Congress and state governments have done plenty to combat Republican attempts to address the issue.

There was a wave of criticism against his celebratory post Saturday.

Critics included US Rep. Brandon Gill, R-Texas, who posted a screenshot of the House of Representatives’ vote on the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act, which 203 Democrats voted against.

The bill was then filibustered in the Senate when 45 Democrats voted against it.

The controversy comes nearly a year after Biden courted controversy for celebrating transgenderism on Easter Sunday:
