Aaron Rodgers the quarterback of the Green Bay Packers is no stranger to never
ending culture war nonsense regarding vaccines and now he's doing a little mix.
He's like all right how can I really rile
people up now why don't I sprinkle in a little election madness and
you know just put out there this idea that Biden didn't actually win the presidency.
Here's what he said in an ESPN profile just last week when the president
of the United States says this is a pandemic of the unvaccinated.
It's because him and
his constituents which I don't know how there are any if you watch any of
his attempts at public speaking but I guess he got 81 million votes.
But when you say stuff like that and
then you have the CDC which how do you even trust them?
But then they come out and talk about 75% of the COVID
deaths have at least four quote comorbidities.
And you still have this fake White House set saying that this
is the pandemic of the unvaccinated.
That's not helping the conversation, so
he refers to the Biden presidency as the fake White House.
He questions whether Biden actually got 81 million votes.
And Aaron Rodgers of course very sensitive to any messaging about vaccinations
because of how he was implicated in his lies about being vaccinated.
Like it's just all insane and he's become like this darling of Trump and
his allies which we'll get to in just a second but
look I don't care what his political affiliation is.
He wants to support Trump, support Trump, I don't care.
But for an NFL star to repeat those lies about the election,
especially after what happened on January 6th.
Especially considering the political violence that's been carried out by Trump
supporters.
Super irresponsible, incredibly stupid.
And it's just so frustrating that this just continues.
>> I mean, I would say we would want him canceled, but
he canceled himself when he lost that game.
>> Yeah, I heard about that.
>> Pointed the packers lose to the Niners, indeed I believe it was the Niners.
Don't quote me on that go Niners.
But I'm from San Francisco, so I have a special affinity.
Yeah, he can say whatever the hell he wants, as wrong as it is.
I think it's a little embarrassing though to be like,
how did 81 million people vote for that other guy?
And you're like, yeah, because have you seen your guy,
you understand how point systems work here?
You're in the NFL, you play football, you can have now,
I'm not remembering the score, you could have however many points.
You're gonna have 17 points, but if someone's got 20 guess what,
that person's gonna win, see how it works.
But in this, it's like a weird bizarre opposite popularity contest because let's
be real, most of us weren't like fighting my hero, my savior, the most amazing.
But what candidate ever know, we're looking at the other guy and
we're saying hell no, that is way worse.
I said this on my show the other day,
Biden was a literal wet blanket on the dumpster fire of the United States.
And now we're like, man, we elected a wet blanket.
We need to ring this blanket out.
>> Yeah, maybe consider the fact that during a global pandemic,
the president bungled the response and was so devastating.
And so the guy endorsed injecting bleach into your body to fight off covid.
He promoted the use of hydroxychloroquine,
which some people got really sick from or died from.
And it had absolutely no, it wasn't a prophylactic and it did not treat covid,
I mean like, wow, how did people end up voting for Biden?
And I agree Biden is a disaster, Biden's not good.
I'm not happy with Biden, and the only thing that helped Biden win
was that people were desperate to avoid re-electing Trump.
But like we're asking too much for him to like really understand that anyway.
>> You know what, you're right.
No, but exactly what you just said.
I just want to double down because I didn't say anything about the vaccine, but
you're totally right.
It's that when you are not taking a pandemic seriously,
no one sees you as a leader.
So if you're a quarterback or you're supposed to be an NFL star and you're not,
you don't believe in basic science.
And almost 900,000 people have died.
You're not a leader in whatever field you're in, no matter what you do,
no one's going to take you seriously if you're discounting crediting 75% of
the people who died of co morbidity.
What if that were at all true?
So what, so those deaths don't matter, so, covid doesn't matter?
What is the natural conclusion?
Yo this dude consults his crystals to like stop covid infection.
I don't even want to hear it.
>> [LAUGH] Yeah, he gets his advice from Rogan, which is again,
that's another source of pretty devastating disinformation in
response to this pandemic.
And the number of public figures who are like, I I contracted covid, but
don't worry, I hit up my hommie Joe Rogan not good, very bad.
And just to go back to the sports reference that you made earlier,
which I'm also very ignorant about last weekend.
The Green Bay Packers lost to the 40 niners with a score
of 10 to 13 after the 40 niners scored a clutch.
My producer Taylor refers to it as a clutch,
45 yard field goal in the final four seconds of the game.
I don't know what any of that means, but [SOUND], that sounds great.
>> [LAUGH] It was brilliant in the snow is very dramatic.
>> That sounds awful, really does.
I would rather do pretty much anything other than play football in the snow.
But, sports is not for me, it's for other people.
Anyway, so that's where we're at with Aaron Rodgers.
I didn't expect the situation to devolve further after he was caught
lying about being immune,, I can never say that word,
He didn't use the word vaccinate or vaccination.
But he did try to make it seem or imply that he was vaccinated.
Then he got caught in that lie.
And ever since then, the character of Aaron Rodgers has further devolved.
It's pretty depressing, it is what it is.
