Harrison Butker Fires Back at Whoopi Goldberg: “If She Doesn’t Like Me I Must Be Doing Something Right” – More details in the Comments 👇 👇
Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker has attracted a storm of controversy for his recent graduation speech that attacked everything from abortion to women who work outside of the home.
But he has one unlikely defender in Whoopi Goldberg, who defended Butker on Thursday’s episode of “The View.”
During Saturday’s commencement at Benedictine College in Atchison, Kansas, Butker attacked Joe Biden’s support of abortion rights and suggested that a woman’s life only begins when she becomes a wife and mother.
Butker’s comments aroused controversy on social media, and a rebuke from the NFL, but Goldberg defended his right to make those comments to her fellow “View” co-hosts on Thursday.
“Listen, I like when people say what they need to say,” Goldberg said. “He’s at a Catholic college, he’s a staunch Catholic. These are his beliefs, and he’s welcome to them. I don’t have to believe them. I don’t have to accept them. The ladies who were sitting in that audience do not have to accept them.”
