Aaron Rodgers Sends Stark Warning Ahead of RFK Jr.’s Confirmation
New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers recently spoke out in support of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who has been nominated by President-elect Donald Trump to be the next Secretary of Health and Human Services.
Kennedy, known for his controversial views on public health, has faced criticism from both sides of the political spectrum. However, Rodgers, a longtime friend of Kennedy, is prepared to defend him ahead of his upcoming confirmation hearing.
On a recent appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show,” Rodgers offered a stern warning to the senators who will be involved in Kennedy’s confirmation process.
“I’m looking forward to watching the hearings to just see who tried to f*ck with him,” Rodgers said, per the Daily Mail. “Like, please, somebody try and get after him and just watch him absolutely mop the floor with any of these senators.”
Rodgers, who considered an offer from Kennedy to be his running mate when Kennedy was running for president, emphasized Kennedy’s intelligence, saying, “You better come ready senators, come ready and try and see if you can pull one over on my boy, Bobby, because Bobby’s f*cking smart, dude.”
Kennedy’s nomination has stirred controversy due to his outspoken views on health and safety. He has gained attention for promoting controversial stances, including advocating for the removal of fluoride from the water supply, spreading misinformation about vaccines and supporting the consumption of raw milk.
As one of the more controversial picks in Trump’s cabinet, Kennedy’s anti-vaccine stance has drawn criticism from both major political parties. His agenda, which he has dubbed “Make America Healthy Again,” has earned both criticism and support from various corners of the political world.
Rodgers addressed some of Kennedy’s health-related beliefs, specifically in relation to the U.S. food industry. The quarterback criticized the standards for food safety, particularly the ingredients used in products sold in the United States.
“If you spend a minute researching ingredients in products in the states compared to overseas, it’s disgusting,” Rodgers said. “It’s disgusting what they allow here, the levels that they allow here, products that are terrible for you, products they know are carcinogenic.”
Rodgers argued that Kennedy’s efforts were in the public’s best interest, stating, “He just wants to make sure that everything that’s being given to our kids is safe, everything that we’re ingesting on a day-to-day basis is safe, and he’s going to ‘Make America Healthy Again’ or is going to freaking die trying.”
While the exact date of Kennedy’s confirmation hearing has not been set, the process will be a key moment in the upcoming Trump presidency, with the potential for high drama as senators debate Kennedy’s qualifications and controversial views.
Rodgers himself recently finished his first full season with the New York Jets, a season that ended with a 5-12 record, the Daily Mail notes. Despite starting every game, the Jets failed to make the playoffs once again.
However, the star quarterback remains vocal on political issues, and his strong support for Kennedy reflects his commitment to advocating for health reform.
