CNN anchor Pamela Brown said Tuesday that New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers’ conspiratorial mindset was on display long before he made waves as a vaccine skeptic during the COVID pandemic.
Rodgers has been criticized for suggesting last week that ABC late-night host Jimmy Kimmel was closely linked to Jeffrey Epstein, the deceased sex trafficker. After Kimmel excoriated “tin foil hatter” Rodgers for the insinuation, Rodgers refused to apologize in an appearance Monday on ESPN’s The Pat McAfee Show—even though McAfee himself and ESPN have done so.
On CNN’s The Lead Tuesday, Brown spoke with CNN media reporter Oliver Darcy, who recounted the quarterback’s appearance yesterday, in which he continued to push conspiracies surrounding vaccines.
