Peter Doocey On Don't @ Me: Harrison Butker's Comments Irritated Some Who Cover White House
Fox News Channel White House Correspondent Peter Doocey joined OutKick's Dan Dakich on Friday's edition of Don't @ Me with Dan Dakich to discuss a whole bunch of things, including the Kansas City Chiefs' visit to the White House.
Dakich asked Doocey about Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker, whose commencement address earlier this month at a Catholic university got some attention, to say the least.
However, Butker is still expected to be on hand for the visit with President Joe Biden and Dakich wondered if Butker's comments had irritated the White House.
Harrison Butker's Speech Irritated People Who Cover The White House
"I don't think it irritated the White House," Doocey said. "But it definitely irritated some people who cover the White House, because when the White House addressed it, the question [from a reporter] was something like, 'Is Biden going to withdraw his invitation to the Chiefs because of Harrison Butker's speech?' Which, we've heard people say very extreme political things — mostly the other way — and the invitations don't just get pulled, and it didn't.
"They're all going to be there, or whoever wants to come from the Chiefs will be there," Doocey continued. "It didn't seem like it really bugged anybody at the White House though."
Dakich also asked Doocey if any reporters were likely to ask Chiefs head coach Andy Reid about any players on the team's payroll who have been arrested or gotten into trouble this offseason. Doocey then noted that sometimes it's hard for people with criminal pasts to get into the White House.
"Good luck to them because people with a criminal background have a hard time with the Secret Service, typically," Doocy said. "So we'll see how that goes."
We'll see how things play out when the Chiefs make their second straight visit to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, but there's certainly no shortage of storylines to watch for.
