Harrison Butker Broke His Silence After His Controversial Commencement Speech At Benedictine College

"I can't say I agree with the majority of it, or just about any of it, outside of him loving his family and his kids," he continued. "I don't think that I should judge him by his views, especially his religious views, of how to go about life. It's just not who I am."
