Exclusive: Missouri AG torches Kansas City’s ‘retaliation’ against Chiefs kicker expressing Christian beliefs
Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey isn’t holding back on his criticism of the Kansas City Mayor’s Office after it doxxed Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker in a post on X.
The city’s official X account revealed the location of Butker’s residence in a now-deleted X post — something Bailey says was clear “retaliation” from the left — after the star kicker’s viral commencement speech at Benedictine College in Atchison, Kansas, earlier this month.
“Butker is the target of discrimination on the basis of his religion. This is a Christian of the Catholic faith who was giving a commencement address at a Catholic university, to an audience that was supportive of the message he was delivering. And the backlash has been discriminatory against him,” Bailey told Fox News Digital in an interview.
“It’s prophetic. If you actually listen to the opening remarks he provides, he establishes that the left wants to silence Christian voices, wants to drive Christian thought, Christian ideals, expression of Christian beliefs from public discourse, from the public domain. And that’s exactly what the left has done in retaliation against Harrison Butker’s free exercise of religion,” he said.
