The Full Harrison Butker Commencement Speech That Has The Woke Mob Losing Its Mind: WATCHOutKick FlashMay 16, 2024 11:53 AM EDTIt is worth the read.
https://www.outkick.com/analysis/harrison-butker-commencement-speech-video-fullThis is the full transcript of the speech given by Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker to the spring graduating class at Benedictine College, a Catholic liberal arts school in Atchison, Kansas, on Friday, May 10, 2024. NOTE: There may be some minor errors in transcription. From Harrison Butker:Ladies and gentlemen of the class of 2024, I would like to start off by congratulating all of you for successfully making it to this achievement today. I'm sure your high school graduation was not what you had imagined and most likely neither was your first couple years of college.By making it to this moment through all the adversity thrown your way from COVID, I hope you learned the important lessons that suffering in this life is only temporary. As a group, you witnessed firsthand how bad leaders who don't stay in their lane can have a negative impact on society. It is through this lens that I want to take stock of how we got to where we are and where we want to go as citizens, and yes, as Catholics.One last thing before I begin, I want to be sure to thank President Minns and the board for their invitation to speak. When President Minnis first reached out a couple of months ago I had originally said no. You see, last year I gave the commencement address at my alma mater, Georgia Tech, and I felt that one graduation speech was more than enough, especially for someone who isn't a professional speaker. But of course, President Minnis used his gift of persuasion and spoke to the many challenges you all faced throughout the COVID fiasco and how you missed out on so many milestones the rest of us older people have taken for granted.While COVID might have played a large role throughout your formative years, it is not unique. Bad policies and poor leadership have negatively impacted major life issues. Things like abortion, IVF, surrogacy, euthanasia as well as a growing support for degenerate cultural values and media all stem from the pervasiveness of disorder. Our own nation is led by a man who publicly and proudly proclaims his Catholic faith but at the same time is delusional enough to make the sign of the cross during a pro-abortion rally.
