Aaron Rodgers Says Southern Border Is 'Being Invaded' During Fired Up Political Rant
Aaron Rodgers is officially diving head first into sharing his political views.
The New York Jets QB started becoming more and more vocal about his views during the COVID-19 pandemic, and he made it clear that he had a lot of problems with the information being shared.
Rodgers was also floated as a potential VP pick for Bobby Kennedy Jr., and the NFL star has also been outspoken on how he thinks the JFK assassination narrative is nonsense.
Well, he really crossed the Rubicon during an appearance on the "I Can Fly" podcast with a fired up political rant.
Aaron Rodgers unleashes political rant.
"All these f*cking bums who have been in government forever. Who are insider trading like crazy and lining their pockets during their terms and post career. How's that working out? How's that working out for the average Joe, middle class or lower middle class like I grew up? How's that working out for those people? Not too good. How's it working? Housing prices. Cost of food. The inflation that's going on," Rodgers said during the interview.
He also seemed frustrated by the "billions of dollars" being given "to Ukraine to fight a proxy war" following a Russian invasion.
The Jets QB also stated in no uncertain terms, "We have a southern border that's being invaded."

Rodgers, who has never been shy about his opinions, also made it clear he's a huge fan of Bobby Kennedy Jr., and thinks President Joe Biden and former President and Republican nominee Donald Trump aren't the answer. There's also more talk about the JFK assassination, the murder of Bobby Kennedy, Bay of Pigs, and much more.

As the kids like to say, this is what we call being very based. This is the most based rant I've heard from an athlete in a long time.
He went from talking about COVID-19 to comparing Bobby Kennedy Jr. to Luke Skywalker and Han Solo, and even managed to squeeze in some more JFK assassination conspiracy theories.
His comments were all over the place, but also wildly entertaining. They're also comments that you won't hear very many other places. Criticizing the vaccine, talking about conspiracy theories, opining on Fauci and going against the government's preferred narratives isn't something that generally goes over very well with establishment media.

Yet, Rodgers doesn't care. He couldn't make that more obvious. That's the benefit of having a ton of money in the bank. What is anyone going to do? Tell him to stop talking? I don't think so. Let me know what you think at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.
