Butker, an outspoken and devout Catholic, slammed Biden for his response to the COVID-19 pandemic as well as cultural issues such as abortion and radical gender ideology. He blasted the president as someone who supports the "murder of innocent babies" during his speech.
While addressing graduates at the Catholic liberal arts college in Atchinson, Kansas, the NFL kicker blamed Biden for what the Super Bowl champion believed was a deterioration of societal values. He began his speech by addressing the adversity this year’s graduates faced, given they were high school seniors four years ago during the COVID pandemic.
"By making it to this moment through all the adversity thrown your way from COVID, I hope you learned the important lesson that suffering in this life is only temporary," Butker said. "As a group, you witnessed firsthand how bad leaders who don’t stay in their lane can have a negative impact on society."
