The cohosts of ABC’s “The View” spent nearly an entire segment complaining 
about Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker and his recent commencement 
speech criticizing both President Joe Biden and Diversity, Equity, and 
Inclusion (DEI) initiatives.

Cohost Whoopi Goldberg kicked off Thursday’s broadcast by saying that while 
she did not personally share Butker’s views on those topics, she believed it 
was important for him to have the same right to free speech and expression 
that everyone else had.

“He’s at a Catholic college, he’s a staunch Catholic. These are his beliefs 
and he’s welcome to them, I don’t have to believe them, I don’t have to 
accept them,” Goldberg said. “The same way we want respect when Colin 
Kaepernick takes a knee, we want to give respect to people whose ideas are 
different from ours.”

WATCH:

	Pretend-moderate Sara Haines claims Butker is "practicing" an 
	"extremist" and "cult-like" sect of Catholicism like "some religions 
	in the Middle East.""This is a very extreme religion," she adds "as 
	a Christian."

	She claims he's "not walking with Jesus" and oppressing people.

Cohost Sara Haines weighed in next, saying that she agreed that free speech 
was important but pushing back a bit on Goldberg’s comparison to Kaepernick. 
She claimed that Butker was practicing something “divergent” from mainstream 
Catholicism that was “cult-like” and “extremist,” comparing his belief system 
to “some religions in the Middle East.”

“This is a very extreme religion,” Haines continued. “And what bothers me 
about that as a Christian is that when people abuse Christianity they often 
not only cherry pick from the Bible, they misinterpret and lie by omission.”

She went on to say that Butker was “not walking with Jesus.”

Cohost Alyssa Farah Griffin followed Haines up by complaining about the fact 
that he mentioned DEI at all — noting that it was not in the Bible — and 
suggesting that if he was going to be critical of Biden, he should have also 
mentioned former President Donald Trump.

	being against same-sex relationships.
	While picking the convenient parts of the Bible, she accuses him of 
	":pick[ing] the convenient parts" of the Bible.

Griffin concluded by arguing that Butker “chose to target the LGBTQ 
community” in his comments, something that she said amounted to “alienat[ing] 
certain parts of scripture” and “pick[ing] the convenient parts” of the 
Bible.
