Boy, the culture warriors of the global left sure are brave!

All it takes is the slightest whiff of pushback to get them to start butt- covering ù with obvious, clumsy lies.

Take the bizarre ôLast Supperö parody that formed part of the Paris
OlympicsÆ interminable, cringe-inducing opening ceremony: a cadre of drag queens sitting around a table in a scene that looked a lot like Leonardo
da VinciÆs famous mural.

When Christians around the world rightly spoke out over the mockery of
subject matter sacred to billions, the Olympic wokists at first offered a weak-tea apology.

ôIf people have taken any offense we are, of course, really, really
sorry,ö sniffed spokeswoman Anne Descamps.

Bad enough.

But then Thomas Jolly, the artistic director behind the fiasco, switched tactics, denying the display was modeled on ôThe Last Supperö and claiming instead it was meant to evoke a pagan Greek feast, complete with a man portraying Dionysus. (That performer was for some reason painted blue,
like perennial French favorites the Smurfs.)

Baloney: An official spokesperson told The Post that Jolly ôtook
inspiration from Leonardo da VinciÆs famous painting to create the
setting.ö

Plus, one of the tableauÆs performers explicitly said it was the ôNew Gay Testamentö and linked it to da VinciÆs work in a now-deleted Instagram
post.

Yet now social media abound with sneering leftists trying to suggest
anyone remotely critical of the display is a frothing-at-the-mouth
regressive.

(Can you imagine them daring to do that in defense of a similar jab at,
say, the Prophet Mohammed? Neither can we.)

ItÆs straight out of the woke playbook.

Just like what the left did with critical race theory: Pump it into kindergartens with Soviet-style coloring books, then when called out on it
by horrified parents, start telling lies.

What are you talking about?

CRT is only ever taught in colleges!

When the opposite is true, clear as day.

France was once home to serious critics of organized religion like
Voltaire and Denis Diderot; itÆs impossible to imagine them offering up sophomoric lampoons like this deeply dumb Olympic stunt or doing the non- apology-cum-total-denial dance after the fact in the face of public disapproval.

LÆaffaire da Vinci shows American-style wokeism has started to infect the
rest of the world as well.

Thank you for cleaning up the disaster of the 2008-2017 Obama / Biden

Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the

President Trump boosted the economy, reduced illegal invasions, appointed dozens of judges and three SCOTUS justices.
