Missouri’s Attorney General Vows To Hold Kansas City Accountable After Doxxing Kicker

Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey said on Thursday that his office is “demanding accountability” after Kansas City doxxed Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker on social media following a commencement speech he gave over the weekend.

“My office is demanding accountability after @KansasCity doxxed @buttkicker7 last night for daring to express his religious beliefs,” Bailey posted on X. “I will enforce the Missouri Human Rights Act to ensure Missourians are not targeted for their free exercise of religion. Stay tuned.”

The official Kansas City X account, which stated what town Butker resides in, later deleted the post and issued an apology: “We apologies [sic] for our previous tweet. It was shared in error.”

Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas acknowledged that the post was “clearly inappropriate.”

“A message appeared earlier this evening from a City public account,” he wrote. “The message was clearly inappropriate for a public account. The City has correctly apologized for the error, will review account access, and ensure nothing like it is shared in the future from public channels.”

Butker ripped President Joe Biden and woke diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies while delivering a commencement address at a Catholic liberal arts school on Saturday.

The three-time Super Bowl champion suggested that Biden, who, like Butler, is Catholic, has betrayed his faith with his support of abortion access. Advertisement

“Bad policies and poor leadership have negatively impacted major life issues,” Butker said during the undergraduate ceremony at Benedictine College in Atchison, Kansas.

Butker said “things like abortion, IVF, surrogacy, euthanasia, as well as a growing support for degenerate cultural values in media, all stem from the pervasiveness of disorder.”

The place kicker then made reference to Biden without mentioning his name, describing how the president made a sign of the cross during a pro-abortion speech by a fellow Democrat in Florida last month.

“Our 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,” Butker said.

“He has been so vocal in his support for the murder of innocent babies that I’m sure to many people, it appears you can be both Catholic and pro-choice,” he added.

“From the man behind the COVID lockdowns, to the people pushing dangerous gender ideologies onto the youth of America, they all have a glaring thing in common — they are Catholic,” Butker said. “This is an important reminder that being Catholic alone doesn’t cut it.”

For practicing Catholics, making the Sign of the Cross has several meanings, one of them is a reminder of our baptism, where we are blessed with the sign of the cross as part of the sacrament. It is a public symbol that we belong to Christ. It also means we reject Satan and all his evil works.

It simply is not possible for someone to reject the works of Satan while at a Pro-Abortion rally. Therefore, those who do such a thing are deceiving themselves and others.

“We apologies [sic] for our previous tweet. It was shared in error.”

The "error" was probably a woke lefty employee who thought he was above the law (and might still be) unless the Missouri Attorney General makes good on his claim.

for daring to express his religious beliefs

He said that children need mothers and fathers in the home.

He said that men should embrace their masculinity and not believe it when people say that men are no longer necessary. He said that societal values were built on the role of men as the provider for the family.

He said that women should embrace the role of homemaker. He didn't say they shouldn't do anything else, but to not neglect the value that homemaker brings to nurturing and raising children.

Ironically, it's the essentially the same thing Bill Cosby said in a May 17, 2004 speech to the NAACP on the fiftieth anniversary of the Supreme Court decision Brown v. Board of Education.

But these people, the ones up here in the balcony fought so hard.
Looking at the incarcerated, these are not political criminals. These are people going around stealing Coca-Cola. People getting shot in the back of the head over a piece of pound cake! And then we all run out and are outraged, 'The cops shouldn't have shot him.'
What the hell was he doing with the pound cake in his hand? I wanted a piece of pound cake just as bad as anybody else, and I looked at it and I had no money. And something called parenting said, 'If you get caught with it you're going to embarrass your mother.' Not 'You're going to get your butt kicked.' No. 'You're going to embarrass your family.'
...In the neighborhood that most of us grew up in, parenting is not going on. In the old days, you couldn't hooky school because every drawn shade was an eye. And before your mother got off the bus and to the house, she knew exactly where you had gone, who had gone into the house, and where you got on whatever you had on and where you got it from. Parents don't know that today.

Although the allegations against Cosby of repeated sexual assaults of women date back to the mid-1960s, the floodgates of women going public with their recollections didn't begin until January 2005, eight months after the NAACP speech.

Coincidence, or was the black grievance industry retaliating against what "America's Dad" had said about black families?

And now we have the NFL stepping into the fray against a white Catholic placekicker who spoke about the role of mothers and fathers in their children's lives to a graduating class at a Catholic college.

And then some woke kid in the city government office doxxes the guy?
