On the same day Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski railed against vice presidential candidate JD Vance for his 2021 comments about Democrat cat ladies, Sen. Dan Sullivan and several other Republican senators sent a letter to International Olympic Committee President Thomas Bach in response to a vulgar depiction of the Last Supper that took place during the Opening Ceremony of the Olympic Games Paris 2024.

Senators James Lankford (R-Okl.), Marco Rubio (R-Fl.), Roger Marshall, M.D. (R-Kan.), Bill Cassidy, M.D. (R-La.), Thom Tillis (R-N.C.), Steve Daines (R-Mont.), Jim Risch (R-Idaho), Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), Kevin Cramer (R-N.D.), Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.), Mike Crapo (R-Idaho), John Barrasso (R-Wy.), Katie Britt (R-Al.), Todd Young (R-Ind.), Ted Budd (R-N.C.), Ted Cruz (R-Texas), Markwayne Mullin (R-Okl.), and Tim Scott (R-S.C.) also signed the letter.

“We write in response to the vulgar mockery of the Christian faith on display at the Opening Ceremony of the Olympic Games Paris 2024. The Games should unite people of every country, race, and creed. There is no place for anti-Christian bigotry at an event designed to bring the world together. The Games should celebrate the athletes, not denigrate anyone’s faith. We urge you to take immediate action by amending Rule 55 of the Olympic Charter to ensure that no faiths are the subject of mockery as part of the opening or closing ceremonies ever again,” the senators said.

“The International Olympic Committee (IOC) should formally condemn the mockery that occurred in Paris of one of the most sacred moments of the Christian faith. Then, the IOC should make formal changes to ensure this kind of divisive display is not repeated to ensure that Coubertin’s vision for the Games may continue to thrive. Every person, from every nation and every faith, should be encouraged to enjoy the Olympics without being belittled or mocked. Thank you for your attention to this matter,” the letter said.

  1. Lisa owns several cats and treats them better than me. The closest I’m allowed to get to these stupids cats is when I take out the feline poo box. These Democrat cat women are truly disturbed people.

  2. It wasn’t just mockery of the Christian faith, alas though God will not be mocked and He doesn’t need us to do His battles. That aside though it was flat out disgusting, raunchy and pornographic. Completely inappropriate for the Olympics, as well as broadcast viewing. Even without the Lords Supper offense it was flat out gross. Seriously, naked testicles hanging out of a performers costume – just that alone merits outrage by the Olympic committee, add in all the rest, such as the naked guy wearing only blue paint, and the sexual foreplay on stage – what sane person would think that was all ok for an Olympic opening? What is the connection to athletics and the Olympics? Ludicrous.
