Hate is like a sharp knife that penetrate through the Heart leaving a Heavy wound that can not be Cured” Harrison Butker Mom blast Taylor’s fan , defense son over Controversial Commencement Speech
Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager have an issue with men speaking about what women should want.
On the Thursday, May 16 episode of Today with Hoda and Jenna, Kotb, 59, and Bush Hager, 42, discussed the controversial speech delivered by Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker at Benedictine College’s commencement on May 11.
In the NFL player’s speech, he addressed the “ladies” present at the ceremony.
“I want to speak directly to you briefly because I think it is you, the women, who have had the most diabolical lies told to you,” Butker, 28, said at the graduation ceremony. “Some of you may go on to lead successful careers in the world, but I would venture to guess that the majority of you are most excited about your marriage and the children you will bring into this world.”
Speaking about his wife Isabelle, Butker said he was “incredibly blessed” that she would “convert to the faith, become my wife, and embrace one of the most important titles of all: Homemaker.”
Isabelle’s dream of having a career might not have come true, but if you ask her today if she has any regrets on her decision, she would laugh out loud without hesitation, and say, ‘Hey, no,’” he continued.
On their show, Bush Hager pointed out that she has the career she has today because her husband, Henry Hager, treats her as an “equal.”
“I’m where I am today because I have a husband who leans into his vocation, which is being an equal partner, and I tell him that all of the time,” Bush Hager said.
“I would just say this, we have all of these people that try to divide us by labels. People that stay at home are amazing, the work they do is incredible and let’s not compare one to the other, by a man!”
