Aaron Rodgers Insists Jimmy Kimmel Misunderstood Epstein List Remarks

The NFL star said he suggested Kimmel didn’t want the list revealed because it would expose Hollywood corruption, the talk show host's real worry.

Anyone expecting Aaron Rodgers to apologize to Jimmy Kimmel for allegedly suggesting the comedian might be on a list of Jeffrey Epstein associates would be sorely mistaken.

Instead, in an appearance Tuesday on “The Pat McAfee Show,” the New York Jets quarterback, who’s known for pushing conspiracy theories, blamed the beef on misleading media reports on his initial comments.

Rodgers said that the “Jimmy Kimmel Live” host misunderstood the point he was making, but he also implied the comedian had it coming because of the many jokes he’s made about the NFL star’s spread of conspiracy theories, including COVID misinformation.

Rodgers also spent five minutes spreading more misinformation about COVID-19 vaccines.

Last week on the sports talk show, Rodgers implied Kimmel wouldn’t be happy about the upcoming release of a court document that would name people associated with Epstein, a disgraced financier and convicted sex offender who died in a New York City jail while awaiting trial on sex trafficking and conspiracy charges.
