Soros-linked group blasts Harrison Butker's graduation speech, fears power-seekers 'think just like him'

Outnumbered panelists discuss NFL kicker Harrison Butkers commencement speech, which has been criticized online as he urged graduating women to embrace their roles as homemakers.

A group linked to billionaire liberal George Soros ripped Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker in a scathing op-ed as a misogynist that can’t be ignored because many Americans "think just like him."

Svante Myrick, the president of the Soros-backed People For the American Way, wrote an opinion piece in The Hill headlined, "Butker’s misogyny is not unique, it’s the conservative agenda," that asked if he’s "just one dude with some backward ideas," or a "fanboy" of the viral tradwife craze before declaring he’s not alone. 

"His views are emblematic of not just one cultural attitude but a policy agenda that could be coming to a legislature — or even a White House — near you," Myrick wrote.

Alex Soros, who has taken over the family empire that backs liberal politicians and causes, shared Myrick’s piece on social media. Soros' Open Society Institute has donated to People For the American Way, and Myrick was described as the younger Soros’ friend in a 2023 Wall Street Journal piece.
