Kansas City Chiefs Kicker Sparks Outrage With Bold Trump Comment

Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker shared a concise statement with the public after an assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump. Trump was at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, when an assailant opened fire, shooting him in the right ear.

Although Trump quickly got to his feet and raised his fist, the incident resulted in injury to an attendee.

The gunman, neutralized by a Secret Service sniper, has been confirmed as Thomas Matthew Crooks from Bethel Park, Pennsylvania. Meanwhile, following Serena Williams’ sharp remarks at the ESPYs, Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker offered a short reflection.

Butker, criticized by Williams for his views on watching women’s sports, took to X/Twitter to comment for the first time since last October, posting, “Pray for our country,” in the wake of the assassination attempt on Trump.

“Praying for you too sir. Stay strong,” one user responded.

“Thank you, Harrison! We’re all praying for him—and for courageous fighters like you,” another person commented.

Not all the responses were positive, though. “Because prayers have always worked,” remarked another, sarcastically.

“Breaking news: they don’t. People always offer thoughts and prayers but never actual action.

So fine, let’s pray for the country because surely that will fix everything.”

The FBI continues its investigation into the shooting.

Additionally, after her prolonged silence, Jason Kelce’s wife Kylie has voiced her opinions on the controversial remarks made by Harrison Butker about women, which caused widespread anger.
