Harrison Butker Endorses Josh Hawley For Senate

Chiefs Kicker Harrison Butker said for the first time in his life, he has decided to endorse a political candidate, Missouri Republican Sen. Josh Hawley.

The Kansas City NFL star will appear at three different stops with Hawley on Thursday after the senator sent out emails to supporters about the endorsement of the Super Bowl-winning star, the Kansas City star reported.

“This is Harrison Butker-you may know me as a three-time World Champion kicker, but that’s just my day job,” Butker said in the fundraising email shared by Hawley. “At my core I am a husband, a father, and most importantly a Christian who cares about the future of our nation.”

“I want to tell you about my friend Josh Hawley,” he added. “In a time when our nation is at a crossroads, Senator Hawley stands strong for many of the values that matter most to me and my family.”

“He’s not just a Senator; he’s a devout Christian, a family man, and a fighter for so much we hold dear,” the message continued. “Josh Hawley is relentless in defending religious rights, fighting for the Constitution, and standing up for the most vulnerable among us—the unborn.”

The Chiefs star said Hawley’s “commitment to the pro-life movement” is one reason he’s supporting him because he’s “the kind of leader who doesn’t back down when it matters most.”

Butker’s letter concluded with the message that he’s endorsing Hawley to “represent all of us and keep the fight for our faith, family, and freedom alive” as he called on others to join him and donate money, if they could, to help Hawley beat his opponent, Democrat Lucas Kunce.

The Chiefs kicker made headlines earlier this year after he gave a commencement address at Benedictine College, a Catholic university in Kansas, in which he praised his wife for being a “homemaker,” called out President Joe Biden’s support for abortion, and criticized LGBT “Pride month.”

In the speech to the Catholic college on May 11, Butker said, “How many of you are sitting here now, about to cross this stage, and are thinking about all the promotions and titles you are going to get in your career? 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.”

“It cannot be overstated that all of my success is made possible because a girl I met in band class back in middle school would convert to the faith, become my wife, and embrace one of the most important titles of all: homemaker,” he added.

The usual leftist stars slammed the comments and a Change.org petition was started calling for the three-time Super Bowl champion to be dismissed from the team.
