Rooke’s critical analysis of the 2024 Olympics opening ceremony raised alarms about a larger societal shift moving away from Western traditional values. She pointed out the apparent intentional marginalization of Christians and traditionalists in the cultural depiction.
“Yeah, you’re literally watching the fall of the West right now. That’s what we’re watching. It’s like it’s the minority standing up and going, ‘Christians, traditionalists, you’re not welcome here,’” Rooke told Higbie. “We don’t want anything to do with you. Whenever you take something like the Lord’s Supper and you bastardize it and put in a bunch of drag queens — and the way they were moving too was just so hilarious.”
Rooke’s sentiments in the interview are reflected in several Twitter posts that are in response to the ceremony.
