A recent White House Pride event sparked controversy when several transgender activists went topless. The incident drew mixed reactions from members of the House of Representatives, with Democrats largely remaining silent while Republicans voiced strong disapproval.

Fox News Digital reached out to various lawmakers for their perspectives. Democratic Representatives Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Pramila Jayapal declined to comment, as did other Democrats like Representative Haley Stevens. This silence contrasted sharply with the vocal responses from Republican representatives.

Representative Jim Banks of Indiana expressed his disgust, characterizing the activists' behavior as "unbecoming and inappropriate." He criticized the display as harmful to children and disrespectful to the White House and the American flag. Banks questioned why the activists were invited in the first place, noting the placement of the pride flag between two American flags as a sign of disrespect.

Representative Michael Waltz of Florida, a former Green Beret, criticized President Biden for calling the attendees the "bravest people he had ever seen." Waltz stated his belief that military personnel, not activists, are the true heroes. He viewed the incident as another example of the administration's misplaced priorities.

Representative Kat Cammack of Florida echoed the sentiment of disrespect for the office and the presence of children at the event. She expressed disappointment in the White House's decision to invite the activists, citing a broader trend of disregard for decency.

Representative Greg Steube of Florida called the behavior "disgusting" and criticized the president for allowing it to occur at the White House.

The incident involved transgender activist Rose Montoya, who posted a video of the event, including an interaction with President Biden. The White House later condemned the behavior and banned the individuals involved from future events.
