In this week’s episode of Defending Faith, Family, and Freedom with Gary Bauer, senior vice president of public policy at the Dr. James Dobson Family Institute, Bauer suggests the NFL’s reaction to Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker’s recent commencement speech at Benedictine College (a Catholic university) is, at best, an unfortunate misunderstanding, and,at worst, a gruesome anti-Christian lecture from the NFL’s DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) bureaucrat. Bauer plays excerpts from Butker’s Benedictine remarks and asks listeners to determine if his speech was extreme and misogynistic. Spoiler alert: As Christian evangelicals, Bauer believes you’ll likely stand up and cheer rather than jeer along with the progressive left.
