“These are his beliefs and he’s welcome to them,” Goldberg said while discussing the Chiefs player’s controversial commencement speech.
Butker has been getting tons of media attention this week for the virulent commencement address he made over the weekend at Benedictine College, during which he knocked what he saw as several major issues that could be blamed on the Biden administration.
