Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker was doxed on social media platform X by the official account of the city he plays for Wednesday evening, less than a week after he advocated for traditional family values during a college commencement address.
The 28-year-old has been under fire from the far left all week over remarks in which he shared his biblical worldview with graduates of Benedictine College in Atchison, Kansas.
Despite all Butker has done for Kansas City, Missouri — like kicking a Super Bowl-winning field goal over the Philadelphia Eagles last year — whoever runs the city’s X account was apparently out for blood Wednesday.
The city account shared the address where the former Georgia Tech kicker lives. Sadly for him, his wife and his children, screen shots of the post are still out there.
The post was later deleted, but the message was clear: Christian values are not to be tolerated, even by city employees in the Midwest.
The Kansas City account later apologized for doxing Butker, but the damage had already been done.
“We [apologize] for our previous tweet. It was shared in error,” the city said in a follow-up post:
We apologies for our previous tweet. It was shared in error.

Kansas City’s “apology” was not well received on social media:
Guess which city government is getting thousands of FOIA requests tomorrow

This is what religious persecution looks like.

Typing the city where a guy who said something you don’t like lives was not an “error” — it was intentional.
Because whoever runs this account is a fascist.
And if he or she isn’t fired today, the entire Kansas City government is also run by fascists. https://t.co/ANauff25ne

Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey was not at all amused by the since-deleted post.
On his X account, Bailey posted, “My office is demanding accountability after @KansasCity doxxed [Butker] last night for daring to express his religious beliefs.”
BREAKING: My office is demanding accountability after@KansasCity doxxed @buttkicker7 last night for daring to express his religious beliefs.
I will enforce the Missouri Human Rights Act to ensure Missourians are not targeted for their free exercise of religion.
Stay tuned.

“I will enforce the Missouri Human Rights Act to ensure Missourians are not targeted for their free exercise of religion,” Bailey concluded. Stay tuned.”
Do you stand with Harrison Butker?
Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas, a Democrat, called the doxing “inappropriate” in a post of his own.
“The City has correctly apologized for the error, will review account access, and ensure nothing like it is shared in the future from public channels,” Lucas said.
A message appeared earlier this evening from a City public account.
The message was clearly inappropriate for a public account. The City has correctly apologized for the error, will review account access, and ensure nothing like it is shared in the future from public channels.

The mayor did not say whether his office would seek to terminate whoever was responsible for the doxing.
