Former pro-fighter turned influential internet personality Andrew Tate is leading a protest outside the French embassy in response to an anti-Christian mockery that was broadcasted to millions of people around the world during the opening ceremony at the Paris Olympics.

Tate — a practicing Muslim — is one of several highly influential figures who has condemned the drag-themed mockery of the last supper, one of the most sacred symbols of Christianity. On Sunday, the 37-year-old was seen holding placards reading “Stand up for Christianity” and “Christianity will not be mocked” outside the French embassy in Romania, where he resides.

“I am protesting outside of the French embassy for mocking Jesus during the Olympic ceremony,” Tate wrote in an X post alongside footage of the protest. “The police are threatening to arrest me for unlawful assembly.”

“I am currently on bail, and will face a minimum 3 months in prison. I do this as a Muslim. WHERE ARE THE CHRISTIANS?”

Tate later released a follow-up video in which he can be seen addressing a crowd of bystanders who had gathered outside the embassy.

“This is Romania, it’s supposed to be the most Christian country in Europe. You cannot allow them to desecrate something as important as the Last Supper with transsexuals and little children, pedophilia. There has to be a point you stand up for your beliefs. If you have something in life and you don’t stand up for it, it will not last,” he said.

“If you have a house, you don’t maintain it, it will fall down. Business, you don’t work, it’s gone. Relationship, you don’t take care of her, she’ll leave you. It’s the same with religion. If you Christians don’t start standing up for things, when they mock you publicly and openly, you’ll have no religion left,” he continued. “It doesn’t matter. It’s a matter of time now.”

As outrage and condemnation poured in from faith leaders, political leaders and influential figures around the world, Olympics organizers commented on the anti-Christian display for the first time.

Paris 2024 spokesperson Anne Descamps was asked about the backlash during an International Olympic Committee news conference on Sunday.

“Clearly there was never an intention to show disrespect to any religious group. On the contrary, I think (with) Thomas Jolly, we really did try to celebrate community tolerance,” Descamps said. “Looking at the result of the polls that we shared, we believe that this ambition was achieved. If people have taken any offense we are, of course, really, really sorry.”

Faith leaders, including Catholic Bishop Robert Barron, have stated that the IOC’s apology is insufficient.

“And here’s what really bugs me. If we just keep mocking Christianity, what will happen when, in our culture, people no longer hear the story of the prodigal son?” Barron said in an interview with Fox News. “They no longer hear the story of the Good Samaritan. They no longer see the depiction of of the last supper for what it is they no longer see the crucified Christ what will happen to our culture when those things are mocked out of existence.”

Tate — who has been heavily censored on most social media platforms with the exception of X and Rumble — also appears to be unsatisfied with the apology and will be continuing the protests.
