On Monday, April 5, President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden appeared alongside the Easter Bunny to send the country their Easter greetings since this year's traditional egg roll was canceled.
As the trio greeted the crowd, many noted the Easter Bunny was wearing a special, bunny-sized face mask.

Of course, there was nothing more outrageous to many conservatives than the Easter Bunny wearing a mask.

Absolutely incensed by the masked bunny, Republicans on Twitter accused Democrats of being "sick," "tortured souls."

Many conservatives online also used racially insensitive terms to drive home how little they cared about other people's feelings or safety.

I can’t believe that stunt Biden pulled with the Easter Bunny. How embarrassing. That Bunny was only wearing one mask!— Carl Liber (@Carl Liber) 1617654164.0
Meanwhile, many liberals on Twitter thought the mask was an adorable way to encourage safe behavior from children.

The Biden administration's willingness to follow CDC guidelines and ask Americans to do the same is a marked difference from the Trump administration.

Biden also looked forward to next year, telling the gathered crowd:
"We look forward to next year when the White House will ring with joy the season once again and there will be an Easter Egg Roll, God willing."
