Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) condemned the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympic Games for its portrayal of the Last Supper, which included drag performers, calling it 'shocking and insulting' to Christians globally. He expressed concern over what he perceives as a continued assault on traditional values, citing a biblical passage about light prevailing over darkness. Johnson's outrage reflects a broader conservative backlash to the ceremony, echoing sentiments expressed during previous events like the Super Bowl. Some public figures, including Elon Musk and former Utah governor Spencer Cox, echoed similar criticisms, labeling the performance as disrespectful. Meanwhile, others defended the ceremony, sparking a polarized discussion on social media regarding artistic expression versus religious sensitivity. The Olympic Committee has faced backlash not only for the performance itself but also for allegedly censoring videos and critiques of it.
