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.

Pray for our country 🙏🏼

“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.
