Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey is demanding accountability after the city of Kansas City posted a message on social media revealing the residence of Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker following his commencement speech at Benedictine College over the weekend.
Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey said he is "demanding accountability" after the city of Kansas City posted a message on social media revealing the residence of Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker following his commencement speech at Benedictine College over the weekend.
Bailey said Thursday that he plans to enforce the Missouri Human Rights Act after the city of Kansas City posted a message on X just a day earlier revealing the city where Butker resides.
"My office is demanding accountability after [Kansas City’s X account] doxxed [Butker] last night for daring to express his religious beliefs," Bailey said in a post.
The social media account deleted the post on Wednesday and later posted a brief apology.
"We apologies [sic] for our previous tweet. It was shared in error," the post read.
Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas addressed the controversy in a separate post, calling it "clearly inappropriate."
"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," he wrote.
Butker, 28, has come under fire after giving a commencement speech at a private Catholic school in Missouri. In his address, he made specific references to female graduates embracing their "vocation" as a "homemaker" and President Biden’s stance on abortion as a Catholic.
Bailey said that he will enforce the Missouri Human Rights Act to ensure that Missourians are not targeted for their free exercise of religion.
"I will not tolerate discrimination against anyone based on their religious beliefs," Bailey said. "This is a clear violation of the Missouri Human Rights Act, and I will use all the resources at my disposal to hold those responsible accountable."
The Missouri Human Rights Act prohibits discrimination based on religion, race, color, national origin, ancestry, sex, age, disability, or familial status.
The city of Kansas City has apologized for the incident, but Bailey said that he is still investigating the matter.
"I am still investigating this matter, and I will take appropriate action once I have all the facts," Bailey said.
The mayor’s office did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
