First Lady Jill Biden praised the opening ceremony of the Summer Olympics in Paris that has faced backlash for mocking Christianity as a “spectacular” display.
Biden, who led the U.S. delegation to the opening ceremony on Friday, made the comments during a brunch celebrating the fact that the 2028 Olympics are going to be held in Los Angeles.

“It was spectacular,” Biden said. “The rain did not dampen our spirits. … Every step of the way, I was thinking to myself, ‘Oh my god, oh my god. How are we going to top this?'”
Biden went on to note how Paris has the Eiffel Tower, but Los Angeles has Hollywood.
