Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey is demanding to know exactly why Kansas City doxxed Chiefs’ kicker, Harrison Butker while vowing to hold officials accountable for their despicable behavior.
Bailey released his statement on Thursday after Butker was hammered by leftists for his Christian views after giving a commencement speech that decried abortion and the Pride movement at a private college.
“My office is demanding accountability after @KansasCity doxxed @buttkicker7 last night for daring to express his religious beliefs,” Bailey wrote on X, providing a link to the city’s official government account as well as Butker’s.
“I will enforce the Missouri Human Rights Act to ensure Missourians are not targeted for their free exercise of religion,” he stated. “Stay tuned.”
Yesterday the official Kansas City X account published the area where Harrison Butker lives
They wanted people to show up to his house to intimidate and possibly assault him
Today the Missouri Attorney General announced they will be investigating the person that did this

On Wednesday evening, a now-deleted post from the Kansas City government wrote, “Just a reminder that Harrison Butker lives in the City of Lee’s Summit.”
Less than two hours later, the post was taken down and an apology was issued.
“We [apologize] for our previous tweet. It was shared in error,” the account claimed.

Mayor Quinton Lucas rushed to issue a statement contending that the original post 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,” he said in the vaguest of terms while not actually condemning the action.
“The post followed a wave of backlash to a commencement speech Butker gave to a Catholic liberal arts college Saturday when he attacked President Biden for a myriad of issues — including how he squares supporting access to abortion while publicly identifying as a devout Catholic — and railed against ‘bad leaders who don’t stay in their lanes,'” The Hill reported.
“The bad policies and poor leadership have negatively impacted major life issues. Things like abortion, [in vitro fertilization], surrogacy, euthanasia, as well as a growing support for the degenerate cultural values and media all stem from pervasiveness of disorder,” Butker unapologetically stated in his speech that received a standing ovation from those in attendance.

“Our own 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,” he bluntly pointed out concerning President Biden.
Butker’s comments concerning Biden were in reference to the president making the sign of the cross in April during a pro-abortion rally.
“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,” Butker noted. “He is not alone. 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. This is an important reminder that being Catholic alone doesn’t cut it.”
X was on fire over the doxxing and Bailey speaking out:
Good, There’s an unmistakable campaign against Christians. Harrison Butker merely expressed his faith—not at an NFL game, not in a public school, and not that there’s anything objectionable about such settings—but at a private Christian school. Despite this, he is being silenced.…

Low level dangerous behavior. If the NFL and/or Chiefs have any integrity at all they will make an example out of whoever did that

“Sadly, history is filled with examples of people of religious faith being targeted for their beliefs by government officials.”

Unbelievable, imagine thinking it’s acceptable to target someone for their faith in 2024.
Hats off to AG Bailey for calling out this blatant discrimination.
Religious freedom is non-negotiable.
