Aaron Rodgers Has Blunt Warning For Any Senator Who ‘Tries To F**k’ With RFK Jr.
HuffPost
The NFL quarterback, a known vaccine skeptic, previously turned down Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s offer to be his running mate to continue playing football.
Aaron Rodgers, once thought to be entering the political sphere himself, is looking forward to Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s confirmation hearing with enthusiasm.
Kennedy, who has spread anti-vaccine misinformation and other conspiracy theories, is President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee to lead the Department of Health and Human Services. A date for his confirmation hearing has yet to be announced.
Though Kennedy’s nomination has drawn pushback from public health officials and a number of lawmakers, Rodgers says he isn’t concerned. Appearing on “The Pat McAfee Show Live” Thursday, the New York Jets quarterback issued a stern warning to senators who might oppose Kennedy during the forthcoming hearing.
“I want to watch his confirmation hearing and just see who tries to fuck with him,” Rodgers said. “Like please, somebody try to get after him and just watch him absolutely mop the floor with any of these senators.”
“You better come ready, senators,” he warned. “Come ready and try and see if you can pull one over on my boy, Bobby. Because Bobby’s a fucking smart dude. And no notes, off the cuff and can handle his own pretty well.”
