Following a controversial speech espousing the value of motherhood and presenting a biblical worldview, Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker was doxxed by the official X account of Kansas City. Who is responsible for this?
From Catholic Vote. Republican Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey on Thursday said he is investigating the office of Democratic Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas after it reportedly “doxxed” Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker in an X (formerly Twitter) post.
Pray for your fellow intercessor.
The alleged leaking of Butker’s personal information came days after he gave the commencement address at Benedictine College. …
There, Butker encouraged graduates at the small Catholic college to “be authentically and unapologetically Catholic.” He also spoke positively about marriage and motherhood, but criticized the abortion industry and the LGBTQ movement. …
The attorney general continued:
Your office’s X account likely publicly released residential location information on a private citizen, Harrison Butker, in an attempt to retaliate against him for expressing his sincerely held religious beliefs at a religious college’s commencement ceremony–to an audience that largely shares his views.
“Use of government social media to retaliate against an individual based on their religious beliefs amounts to discriminatory behavior that is not tolerated under our Constitution or Missouri statute,” Bailey cautioned.

Kansas City’s X account eventually deleted its controversial post. The account wrote on Wednesday night:
We apologies for our previous tweet. It was shared in error.
