    Candace Cameron Bure is doubling down after blasting the Olympics opening ceremony drag performance.

    The “Full House” alum initially claimed the production “completely blasphemed and mock[ed] the Christian faith” in a lengthy Instagram Story rant on Saturday.

    She called the performance, which many believed to be a recreation of the Last Supper, “disgusting.”

    The actress, 48, added, “It made me so sad, and someone said, ‘You shouldn’t be sad. You should be mad about it.’ I’m like, ‘Trust me, it makes me mad, but I’m more sad because I’m sad for souls.’

    “I pray for my heart to break over what breaks God’s heart and I just think about all the people that have rejected the gospel of Jesus Christ or don’t know the gospel of Jesus Christ,” she continued.

    When the former “The View” co-host posted the video to her feed on Sunday, she clapped back at claims that the drag performance was actually an interpretation of the festival of Dionysus after many people “tried to correct” her.

    “[He] is a god of lust, insanity, religious ecstasy, ritual madnes etc.,” she wrote. “I still don’t see how that relates to unifying the world through competitive sports and acceptable for children to watch.”

    Bure concluded, “In any case, I’m not buying it.”

    Carlos PenaVega commented on the social media upload with clapping emojis.

    “RuPaul’s Drag Race” alum Nicky Doll took part in the performance, as well as multiple “Drag Race France” winners.

    The show’s Season 3 champion, Le Filip, gushed to AP News about the “amaz[ing]” show.

    “It felt like a crowning all over again,” she said. “I am proud to see my friends and queer people on the world stage.”

    Kansas City Chiefs tight end Harrison Butker, however, made headlines over the weekend for calling the performance “crazy.”

    The athlete, 29, posted a Bible verse from Galatians to his Instagram Story over the weekend about how “God is not mocked.”

    A Paris 2024 spokesperson assured Page Six “there was never an intention to show disrespect towards any religious group or belief,” saying artistic director Thomas Jolly “took inspiration from Leonardo Da Vinci’s famous painting” of the Last Supper — and “is not the first artist” to do so.

    Butker’s response came two months after his sexist, anti-LGBTQ commencement speech at Benedictine College in which he referred to women as “homemakers.”

    As for Bure, the “Fuller House” alum sparked backlash in 2022 when she described gay marriage as nontraditional to the Wall Street Journal .

    Hilarie Burton, Jojo Siwa and more celebs criticized her at the time, with the former calling Bure a “bigot.”

    Bure spoke about dealing with “difficult” cancel culture on an episode of the “Unapologetic With Julie Jeffress Sadler” podcast the following year.

    “It’s important that we speak truth in love,” she said in 2023. “Listen, nobody’s gonna change, nobody’s gonna listen to you when it comes out angry, when it comes out in a harsh way, but it’s important that we don’t back down.”
