Some of you may go on to lead successful careers in the world,” Butker said during his remarks. “But I would venture to guess that the majority of you are most excited about your marriage and the children you will bring into this world.” He added, “It cannot be overstated that all of my success is made possible because a girl I met in band class back in middle school would convert to the faith, become my wife, and embrace one of the most important titles of all: homemaker.” The Catholic player also called out President Joe Biden, whose staffers have described him as a “devout Catholic.” “Our 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,” Butker said during his speech. “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.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP Butker’s comments spurred a torrent of criticism, including from several high-profile figures such as actor Bradley Whitford and rapper Flavor Flav.
