House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., criticized the White House for its lack of response to the controversial Olympics opening ceremony skit that depicted drag queens reenacting the Last Supper with Jesus and his disciples. Johnson expressed disappointment in the White House's silence on the matter, suggesting that their inaction could be interpreted as an endorsement of the performance.
During a White House briefing, press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre declined to comment on President Biden's stance regarding the performance, stating that she had nothing to share. When pressed by reporters about Christian outrage over the skit, Jean-Pierre evaded the question with chuckles and reiterated her lack of additional information.
