Kansas City Chiefs player Harrison Butker criticized a portion of the 2024 Olympics opening ceremony over social media on Friday that appeared to attempt to mimic Leonardo da Vinci's The Last Supper.

In between the participating countries being presented at the kick-off in Paris, several performances were presented that played off French cultural and history. One of the more controversial performances, however, was one where drag queens and other actors appeared to remake the scene of The Last Supper, which depicts the last meal that Jesus Christ shared with his disciples before he was crucified.

Butker posted a video to his X, formerly Twitter, account of the moment in question Friday evening, along with a Bible verse from Galatians, which says, "God is not mocked." At the time of publishing, the post had over 1 million views.

Butker also posted about the performance to his Instagram story, writing, "This is crazy." The NFL kicker received immense backlash earlier this year after speaking at Benedictine College's commencement on May 11, where he said that a woman's most important role is as a "homemaker" and he referred to Pride Month as an example of "deadly sins."

...that appeared to attempt to mimic Leonardo da Vinci's The Last Supper.

"Appeared to"? Newsweak is being coy again.

Evil is intentional.

Hence the Jacobin imagery.

At least not in charge of things.

The ohe guy who isn’t as awful as the rest and doesn’t play ball, they try to wipe out.

And lets not forget about state sponsored and encouraged abortions for the last 80-90 years before they too started worrying about their population decline. Thats the only reason they stopped promoting it so hard, so worried about less people for them, they pay women to have kids. And they want to feign they’re Godly and the chosen. Soviets always overlook what they themselves do. The professed godless claiming to be Godly.

I think you should rethink your position.

Social perversion has become the encompassing threat to mankind, as it reaches children first and they are determined to silence family values and Christian religion.

[Secret Agent Man]

I think you really need to rethink a few things and get clear.

The Left in the U.S. and the former Soviet Union are very similar. Their ideologies are exactly the same. We won the Cold War by beating the Soviet Union. But did we? Now we're dealing with the Left in the U.S. and they've captured all of our institutions.

We still have the Middle Class in the U.S. and maybe that's about it. There are not many billionaires like Elon Musk and he is under attack by the Left. It helps that he owns a rocket company. And that NASA is a worthless agency.
