ABOVE VIDEO: President Biden’s Smug Cross Gesture at Pro-Abortion Rally in Tampa Has Religious Leaders Upset
TAMPA, FLORIDA (FOX NEWS) – President Biden made the sign of the cross, a gesture Catholics often make before and after prayer, while listening to pro-abortion comments by a fellow Democrat in Florida.
The president’s actions came Tuesday as Florida Democratic Party Chair Nikki Fried, the state’s former Democratic gubernatorial nominee, blasted an upcoming law restricting abortion to within six weeks of gestation.
Biden was heavily criticized in response to the move, which several Catholic groups and commentators described as sacrilegious given the Catholic Church’s strict teaching condemning abortion.
“And then we come back here to the state of Florida where [Gov.] Ron DeSantis felt like he needed to run for president and so 15 weeks wasn’t good enough. We had to go to six weeks,” Fried said at the event alongside Biden.
At the moment Fried said “15 weeks wasn’t good enough,” Biden made the sign of the cross, appearing to mock Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ efforts to limit abortion.
