Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker urged Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) to bring former President Donald Trump “back in line” with a platform that would endorse a stricter stance on abortion.
Butker came to political prominence when he gave a commencement speech at Benedictine College advocating women to be homemakers, after which many accused him of being sexist.
Butker reposted Trump’s Truth Social post in which the former president said, “My administration will be great for women and their reproductive rights.”
Butker commented on it, saying, “No party or candidate is perfect. I implore my fellow Catholic [Vance] to help bring the Republican Party back in line with the foundational platform that all life is valuable and there can be no compromise when it comes to defending the unborn.”
He ended his post with a quote. “Our obligation is to vote for the lesser of two evils because voting for a lesser evil preserves the good that could be potentially lost,” he attributed to the Rev. Chad Ripperger.
