Controversial Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker joined his teammates at the White House reception on Friday – despite slamming President Joe Biden in a recent speech.
The Kansas City star stood in the back row as Biden welcomed the Super Bowl winners to DC to celebrate their second successive Vince Lombardi Trophy.
Butker branded Biden ‘delusional’ and accused him of ‘supporting the murder of innocent babies’ during a commencement speech in Kansas.
‘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,’ Butker said.
‘He 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.’

Those comments prompted some uncertainty as to whether the kicker, 28, would join Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce and Co in the nation’s capital.
But Butker was part of the group that posed for photos with the President and listened as Biden paid tribute to their victorious 2023 season.
Butker could even be seen cracking a smile towards the end of the ceremony after the President put on a Kansas City helmet.
