the controversial drag performance that parodied “The Last Supper” during the opening ceremony.“I am sorry to say to ALL the world’s GREATEST ATHLETES, I wish you ALL THE BEST, but I cannot watch an Olympics that disrespects Christianity and openly celebrates Satan,” Schneider wrote on X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday.“I sincerely hope THESE @Olympics get the same amount of viewers as @cspan,” he added.In another tweet, Schneider included a photo from the drag performance and wrote, “Guys with their genitalia hanging out in front of children?!

Drag Queens?! I wasn’t sure if I was watching the @Olympics or if I was watching a school board meeting…”During the Olympics opening ceremony Friday, a group of 18 performers — including three familiar “Drag Race France” queens — struck poses behind what looked like a long table from The Last Supper.

At the center was an ornately dressed woman with a large silver headdress that resembled a halo as depicted in paintings of Jesus.Models stormed the stage for the impromptu fashion show that saw the supposed Last Supper-mockers swaying along the sidelines.The showcase turned into a dance floor at the end, with “Drag Race France” host Nicky Doll strutting down the stage.

Contestants Paloma and Piche were also part of the performance.The Olympics said the performance — which featured DJ and producer Barbara Butch and was put together by the ceremony’s artistic director Thomas Jolly — was an “interpretation of the Greek God [of wine and festivity] Dionysus” to make “us aware of the absurdity of violence between human beings.”But the performance sparked widespread backlash online from fans and other celebrities, who deemed it inappropriate and offensive.
