Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker has voiced his support for Donald Trump's pick to be US ambassador to the Vatican. The president-elect recently announced that Brian Burch would serve as the US representative after helping him win the election and 'demonstrating exceptional leadership'.
Trump said the father of nine 'loves his Church and the United States' and would 'make us all proud'. His appointment was backed by Butker, who has previously hit the headlines for his religious views. 'Very happy to hear that @BrianBurchCV has been selected to be the next Ambassador to the Vatican,' Butker wrote on social media.
'Brian has been a leading voice in the Catholic community here in America through his organization (CatholicVote) and now in his new role, he can take those gifts to Rome. Pray for him and his family as they embark on this new journey.'. Butker also included a picture of himself alongside Burch, seemingly at the Chiefs' Arrowhead Stadium.
