Harrison Butker hilariously misquoted Winston Churchill to defend his awful takes and got roasted for it

Do your research next time, Harrison.

Don’t you just love it when someone who absolutely nothing has happened to tries to turn themselves into a martyr because, uh, well, the internet?

That’s Harrison Butker today.

If you recall, Butker caught a bit of public flak because of his controversial and misogynistic commencement speech earlier this summer. He made sexist comments about women in the workforce and loads of people out there simply disagreed with him. Did they vehemently disagree with him? Yes, many did. But that’s about it.

Since then, Butker has become the richest kicker in NFL history. So you’d think he’d just be somewhere making snow angels in a pile of money.

Nope. Instead, he’s online using fake Winston Churchill quotes about enemies as a flex.

“You have enemies? Good. That means you’ve stood up for something, sometime in your life,” Butker captioned his tweet. He credited that quote to Churchill.

First of all, I’ve got to say, actively choosing to quote Winston Churchill is, uh, let’s call that a choice.

But what’s hilarious about this is that the quote he chose is not actually a Churchill quote. According to Politifact, the quote comes from an 1845 essay published by former French Senator Victor Hugo.

So not only is Butker making a bigger deal out of himself here than he actually is, but he’s also doing that while being loud and wrong. What a combo!

Fans roasted him for this.
