The Left demonized Harrison Butker because they hate devout Christians
enny Cody | 05/23/2024Recently, NFL Super Bowl Champion and Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker delivered a commencement address to Benedictine College, a Catholic university located in Kansas. In a testament to his Christian and socially conservative values, he credited the graduates for their hard work and wished them well in their post-collegiate careers and lives. He also shared insights on how both men and women from the college in the audience could succeed in their professional and personal lives. Butker, staying true to his beliefs, expressed his disagreement with several American societal issues, such as feminist roles, decline in masculinity, abortion, LGBTQ+ promotion, and DEI (diversity, equality, and inclusion) in the workforce.
Of course, the cultural Marxist left and the mainstream media had an absolute field day, twisting the words of Butker to paint him not only as a misogynist but as a bigoted anti-Semite who wanted to force women to stay at home instead of be in the workplace. Of course, that is not at all what Butker said. He mainly gave credit to his wife as a mother and life partner, saying that neither he nor his family would be able to accomplish the things they had if it were not for her stepping up for him and his household. Butker stated, "I'm on the stage today and able to be the man I am because I have a wife who leans into her vocation...and embraces one of the most important titles of all: homemaker."
Out of all the proclamations Butker made during his address, his statements about womanhood and the female roles of a mother seemed to be the least controversial on the speech's face. . . .
. . . Many who have paid attention to this story need to realize that Harrison Butker's speech was likely planned to be targeted due to his uprising in speaking out on political and societal issues over the last couple of years. In 2023, Butker gave another commencement address to Georgia Institute of Technology, his alma mater, and expressed wanting school graduates to "get married and start a family." Earlier that year, as well, Butker wore a pro-life tie to the White House during the recognition of the Kansas City Chiefs' Super Bowl victory in public defiance of Joe Biden's position on abortion.
Butker's address was not his first political or cultural commentary. He held this position as a Christian and social conservative. The mainstream media's timed targeting of him was intentional in a world where all conservatives are getting labeled as fascist theocrats . . .
