First Lady Jill Biden praised the opening ceremony of the Summer Olympics in Paris that has faced backlash for mocking Christianity as a “spectacular” display.

Biden, who led the U.S. delegation to the opening ceremony on Friday, made the comments during a brunch celebrating the fact that the 2028 Olympics are going to be held in Los Angeles.

“It was spectacular,” Biden said. “The rain did not dampen our spirits. … Every step of the way, I was thinking to myself, ‘Oh my god, oh my god. How are we going to top this?'”

Biden went on to note how Paris has the Eiffel Tower, but Los Angeles has Hollywood.

“The magic of Hollywood that makes all dreams come true,” she said, adding later, “It’s a city where new generations of dreamers shape our culture.”

This year’s opening ceremony, which featured a number of acts, drew controversy for including a drag show parody of “The Last Supper” with Jesus Christ, his apostles, and Greek god Dionysus.

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) said in a post to X that the scene was “shocking and insulting to Christian people around the world who watched the opening ceremony.”

C Spire, a tech company based in Mississippi, said that it would be removing ads from the Olympics.

“We were shocked by the mockery of the Last Supper during the opening ceremonies of the Paris Olympics. C Spire will be pulling our advertising from the Olympics,” the firm said on X.

NFL kicker Harrison Butker, who earlier this year suggested President Joe Biden had betrayed his Catholic faith by supporting abortion access, and religious leaders also lashed out.

Amid the outrage, according to ESPN, organizers for this summer’s games apologized to Catholics and other Christian groups who took offense.

“Clearly there was never an intention to show disrespect to any religious group. [The opening ceremony] tried to celebrate community tolerance,” said Paris 2024 spokesperson Anne Descamps.

She added, “We believe this ambition was achieved. If people have taken any offense, we are really sorry.”

The ceremony’s artistic director, Thomas Jolly, said, “We wanted to talk about diversity. Diversity means being together. We wanted to include everyone, as simple as that.”

Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) criticized Vice President Kamala Harris as a “dangerous liberal” on Sunday over comments she made after meeting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Washington, D.C., last week.

Harris, who is now running for president, made headlines for how she critiqued Israel’s fight against Hamas in the Gaza Strip following the deadly October 7 attacks — particularly when it came to civilian fatalities. She said how Israel defends itself “matters” and vowed to “not be silent” in the face of the “tragedies” in Gaza.

The VP also condemned Hamas, as shown in a clip that CNN played for Cotton.

“Hamas is a brutal terrorist organization. On October 7, Hamas triggered this war when it massacred 1,200 innocent people, including 44 Americans,” Harris said. “Hamas has committed horrific acts of sexual violence and took 250 hostages.”

CNN’s Jake Tapper said, “I mean, that’s a pretty strong condemnation of Hamas. One can condemn Hamas and also want Israel to wage the war in a different way, no?”

Cotton pointed out that the clip did not show everything.

“As is sometimes said, the most important part of a statement comes after the but. We didn’t hear the but there, but she said ‘but,’ and then what followed is continued pressure on Israel, blaming Israel for civilian casualties in Gaza, when, in reality, it’s Hamas that is using civilians as human shields and locating its command posts and mortar-firing positions at schools or at mosques or at hospitals,” Cotton said.

“And where’s the condemnation for this heinous attack by Hezbollah yesterday that blew up 12 children? As we came on the air, Kamala Harris and her campaign has still not said anything to condemn Hezbollah for that attack,” he added. “Again, this is only a week into her presidency — or her presidential campaign. And we see why she is a dangerous liberal. I saw Kamala Harris up close for four years on the Senate Intelligence Committee. What the American people see this week is just a small sampling of what she would do to make America less safe and make the world more chaotic.”

Cotton went on, “Remember, she took credit for a lot of the worst decisions of the Biden administration. She said she was right there when they decided on the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan. This is who Kamala Harris always has been. This is who she will be, a San Francisco liberal who cannot keep this country safe.”
