Remember when Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker decided to get into politics? Well boy do we have a story for you.
A quick catch up: Butker delivered the commencement address at Benedictine College in May where he said that Pride Month was a “deadly sin” and that a woman’s most important title is “homemaker.” nytimes.com/athletic/55196…
He then used his newfound fame to launch a political career with a political action committee “meant to mobilize Christians to vote for what it describes as ‘traditional values.’” washingtonpost.com/sports/2024/10…
So we took a look. Butker’s PAC raised $36k from small donors.
Guess how much it spent on its stated goal?
Absolutely nothing.

Absolutely nothing.
But records show it spent more than $30k of that $36k, so where did the money go?
$100 on office supplies. And all the rest spent on fundraising.

Almost everything it raised went right to fundraising consultants. Something Butker does not appear to have mentioned when he announced the PAC.
A further search shows no records of Butker, the highest paid kicker in the NFL, making any political contributions himself.
