Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker had a brief message for Americans following the shocking attempt on Donald Trump’s life.

The former United States President was speaking at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on Saturday when a shooter fired multiple shots, with one of them hitting him in the right ear. While Trump was able to stand right back up and pump a fist into the air, a spectator wasn’t so lucky.

The shooter, who was killed by a Secret Service sniper, has been identified as Thomas Matthew Crooks of Bethel Park, Pennsylvania.

 

Harrison Butker Returns To X/Twitter For The First Time Since October

Harrison Butker, meanwhile, returned to the spotlight after he was called out by Serena Williams during the ESPYs on Thursday night, with the former tennis star telling him he shouldn’t watch women’s sports following his controversial speech.

The Chiefs kicker took to X/Twitter to deliver a brief message after the assassination attempt on Trump.

“Pray for our country,” he wrote in his first post since last October.

“Praying for you too sir.  Be strong,” a user replied.

“Thank you Harrison! We’re all praying for him – and for brave warriors like you,” wrote another.

Some of the comments weren’t in agreeance, however.

“Because prayers have always worked,” someone else said. “News flash, they don’t. Everyone always offers up thoughts and prayers but not actually action. So yeah I guess prayers for the country because that will make it all better.”

The FBI’s investigation into the shooting remains ongoing.

Jason Kelce’s Wife Kylie Finally Breaks Her Silence, Shares Her Thoughts On Harrison Butker’s Comments About Women That Sparked Massive Outrage

Harrison Butker’s commencement ceremony comments aren’t likely to be forgotten anytime soon.

Kylie Kelce, the wife of former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce, recently broke her silence on the controversial statement that had the nation up in arms several weeks ago.

The Kansas City Chiefs kicker was speaking at Benedictine College when he encouraged the graduating women to focus on family building, insisting it would provide more fulfillment than a career.

“I think it is you, the women, who have had the most diabolic lies told to you,” he said. “Some of you may go on to lead successful careers in the world, but I would venture to guess that the majority of you are most excited about your marriage and the children you will bring into this world. 

“I can tell you that my beautiful wife Isabelle would be the first to say her life truly started when she started living her vocation as a wife and as a mother.”

What Kylie Kelce Had To Say About Harrison Butker’s Comments

Kylie didn’t disagree with Harrison outright but countered by claiming that the choice should be the woman’s.

“I think that everyone is entitled to their own opinion,” she said while working at the Eagles Autism Foundation on Thursday (H/T WFIN) “I hope that, if anyone does not align with those views in that graduating class, that they know they achieved something.”

“Those women graduating in that class have achieved something that no one can take away from them. Their education will stick with them for the rest of their lives. I hope that they were appropriately celebrated if that was not their view. If it was, and they’re looking forward to making a family and being a stay-at-home mom, then more power to them.”

Kyle added that women should support each other’s choices and foster a space where they can all feel pleased with their decisions.

“I think, as women, we should support each other in our choices and make sure that we feel as though we can do whatever we would like to do,” she continued.

“So, hopefully, those graduating know that, at the very least, I’m very proud of them and hope that they go on to do whatever makes their heart happy.”

Despite calls for the Chiefs to release Butker, the reigning Super Bowl champs have indicated they will do no such thing, though he is likely to have his role reduced next season as they don’t want him taking hits.
