In a recent event that has sparked a wave of amusement among conservative commentators, First Lady Jill Biden was humorously corrected by children for her choice of holiday greeting.
The incident occurred during the annual Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots campaign hosted at the White House last Friday.
According to Fox News, as Mrs. Biden greeted the attendees with a "Happy Holidays," several children enthusiastically responded with a resounding "Happy Christmas!" The First Lady, taking the correction in stride, echoed their sentiment with a jovial "Happy Christmas. Yes!"
In her address to the military children present, Mrs. Biden emphasized the importance of love and care during the holiday season. "If you only remember one thing for the holidays, after all the wrapping paper is cleaned up, let it be this: You are loved," she said. "There are so many people who care about you, from your family and your friends, from your teachers and your classmates, to the president and me."
The event concluded with Mrs. Biden wishing everyone a "Merry Christmas and happy holidays."
The children's spontaneous correction of the First Lady's greeting was met with approval and laughter from conservative commentators. Former NCAA swimmer and OutKick host Riley Gaines humorously noted, "Even kids get it." Not The Bee, the news counterpart of The Babylon Bee, praised the child who "shouted back what we are all thinking."
Conservative communicator Steve Guest viewed the incident as an "epic response" to what he termed "Jill Biden's war on Christmas." The socially conservative Catholic group CatholicVote celebrated the moment, stating, "We are so back." Conservative show host David J. Harris Jr. expressed optimism for the future, cheering, "THERE IS HOPE FOR THE FUTURE!"
The exchange was seen as a reflection of the current political climate by show host Mario Nawfal, who said it "basically sums up the Biden era..." Conservative podcaster Wade Stotts, quoting scripture, wrote, "And a little child shall lead them."
