The official X account for the city of Kansas City, Missouri issued an apology over a post they shared that crossed the line.
On Wednesday, the KC account posted the name of the city where Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker lives. Yes, in an attempt to perhaps be humorous while distancing themselves from the kicker, the account revealed where Butker lives.

The Kansas City X account deleted the post and issued an apology. Their apology was so sloppy that they even used the word “apologies” instead of “apologize.”
“We apologies (sic) for our previous tweet. It was shared in error,” the account wrote.
We apologies for our previous tweet. It was shared in error.

Missouri attorney general Andrew Bailey issued a response saying that his office was demanding accountability over the post.

In his speech, Butker shared his personal beliefs on many religious, political, and family issues, and he also criticized President Biden.
