The pope did not
comment on the disgrace of the Christ and his apostols, in the opening of the Paris Olympians but some Christians and others like Elon Musk did not like it.
Some, like Jill Biden liked the show.
The former
president is the latest conservative figures to lash out at the performance,
with his son Donald Trump Jr reposting a picture of the performance
and stating, “They’re not even pretending anymore.”
Speaker of the
House Mike Johnson also posted on X that the sketch was a “mockery”
and was “shocking and insulting to Christian people around the world who
watched the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games”.
Others, such as
Elon Musk, called it “extremely disrespectful to Christians,” while
Piers Morgan also posted that it was a “drag queen mockery” and was
an “appalling decision”.
The sketch included drag performers from Dnot rag
Race France, including the show’s host, Nicky Doll, who defended the
production on her Instagram Stories.
Italy’s deputy prime minister Matteo Salvini branded
the scene insulting and “sleazy,” adding: “Opening the Olympics by insulting
billions of Christians across the world was a really bad start.”
It was my absolute honor to perform in front of billions of people around the world, and celebrate our Olympians,” Doll wrote on Sunday, them reported. “And remember, to the ones that had their feathers ruffled seeing queerness on their screen: WE AIN’T GOING NOWHERE.”
Paris Olympics officials have apologized to those who
took offense at the performance.
