Debate over Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker’s faith-based commencement speech at Benedictine College over the weekend led to an awkward exchange on "Good Morning America" between co-host Robin Roberts and ABC correspondent Stephanie Ramos. 

Butker’s speech was the topic of conversation during a segment of the ABC show Thursday, and Ramos reported "mixed reviews in the crowd" at the school when the placekicker was finished. 

Ramos said "Butker did receive a standing ovation from the graduates and some of the attendees."

Roberts interjected. 

"Usually the commencement address is about the graduates, not about your personal views," Roberts said.

Ramos responded, saying, "It’s important to remember also that the school did invite him. He’s made his Catholic conservative views very well known.

"But you’re right, [it’s] uplifting. Uplifting speech." 

It’s unclear if she meant the speech itself or the general feeling commencement speeches usually have. 

Butker is being attacked for expressing his beliefs at the private Catholic liberal arts college 60 miles outside Kansas City. In the speech, Butker directed a remark to the female graduates in attendance, calling on them to embrace their "vocation" as a "homemaker."
