Donald Trump Jr. Fumes Over 'Satanic' Olympics Opening Ceremony: 'Such A Shame'
HuffPost
The former president's son joined other right-wingers who slammed "The Last Supper" parody that featured drag queens at the Paris games.
Donald Trump Jr. went on a rant over “woke ideology” as he described a “satanic” depiction of Leonardo da Vinci’s “The Last Supper” that featured drag queens during the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics on Friday.
The drag-inclusive parody of the iconic painting ― which depicts Jesus Christ’s meal with his apostles before his crucifixion ― led to backlash from some Christian bishops and among right-wing critics such as House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.), Elon Musk and Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker.
The former president’s son, who claimed his mother Ivana Trump was an Olympian despite the secretary general of the Czechoslovak Olympic Committee not finding any such record, said he used to be excited about the games when he was a child.
“Now with the ever predictable (& seemingly satanic to me) drag queen opening ceremonies and never ending bs, no one I know even thinks about it beyond maybe watching some highlights,” he wrote.
“It’s such a shame that event that used to create so much national pride now creates, at best, indifference. Using the games to push woke ideology has zero to do with anything the games stands for.”
