Sweetin’s response comes after her Fuller House co-star Candace Cameron Bure shared her opinion about the Opening Ceremony under the assumption the drag queens were depicting “The Last Supper” by Italian artist Da Vinci.

“To watch such an incredible and wonderful event that’s gonna take place over the next two weeks and see the opening ceremonies completely blaspheme and mock the Christian faith with their interpretation of the Last Supper was disgusting,” she said in an Instagram video. “And it made me so sad. And someone said, ‘You shouldn’t be sad. You should be mad about it.’ And I’m like, ‘Trust me. It makes me mad.’ But I’m more sad, because I’m sad for souls.”

Despite being educated about what the opening ceremony was depicting, Bure doubled down on her stance as it was re-creating a moment with the Greek god Dionysus, “who is a god of lust, insanity, religious ecstasy, ritual madness, etc.”

“I still don’t see how that relates to unifying the world through competitive sports and acceptable for children to watch,” she wrote in the video’s caption. “In any case, I’m not buying it. I hope you’ll listen all the way through.”
