Here’s what Fox News reported:

Harrison Butker announced on “The Ingraham Angle” he is supporting former President Trump in this year’s election because of an issue that is “the most crucial topic for me.”

While sitting next to U.S. Sen. Josh Hawley, the Kansas City Chiefs kicker said he would be supporting “the most pro-life president.”

“I’m supporting the president that’s going to be the most pro-life president, and I think Donald Trump is the most pro-life president,” Butker said. “That’s a topic that is the most crucial topic for me. I want us to be fighting for the most vulnerable, fighting for the unborn, and that’s what we should prioritize.”

Butker has often spoken out about his religious beliefs with respect to women’s reproductive rights. He actually seemed to disagree with Trump in August. The former president wrote in a Truth Social post that his “Administration will be great for women and their reproductive rights.”

In an X post of his own, sharing Trump’s words, Butker wrote, “No party or candidate is perfect” and “implore[d]” JD Vance to defend the unborn.

However, Butker has made it clear he is not on board with President Biden’s stance on abortion, calling it “delusional.”

“[Biden] has been so vocal in his support for the murder of innocent babies that I’m sure to many people it appears that you can be both Catholic and pro-choice,” Butker said during his infamous commencement speech at Benedictine College.

“I’m supporting the president that’s going to be the most pro-life president,” Butker said. “It’s a topic that is the most crucial topic for me. I want us to be fighting for the most vulnerable, fighting for the unborn.

“That’s what we should prioritize and that’s obviously what Senator Hawley is doing as a man of faith. You have to vote for whoever is going to be the most pro-life. We have to be prayerful man to put God first and I think that’s what is going to be best for our country.”
