'Spiraling into obscurity': Internet slams Aaron Rodgers for reportedly sharing false Sandy Hook 'conspiracy theories'

NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Following the confirmation by Robert F Kennedy Jr that Aaron Rodgers was among his vice-presidential running mates, a revelation surfaced regarding the Jets quarterback refuting conspiracy theories regarding the 2012 Sandy Hook school shooting.

Kennedy is contesting as an independent in the presidential election scheduled for November with Rodgers and former Minnesota governor and professional wrestler Jesse Ventura confirmed as potential vice presidential candidates, per the New York Times.

Kennedy made his declaration on Tuesday, March 12, in response to rumors that the 70-year-old independent presidential contender was "close to picking" a running mate in early February.

On Tuesday, a Kennedy campaign spokesman said, "He's considering Aaron Rodgers and Jesse Ventura as running mates, along with others on a shortlist. No other details available."

Aaron Rodgers allegedly shared 'deranged conspiracy theories' about Sandy Hook shooting

CNN's recent report uncovers that Rodgers fervently embraced "deranged conspiracy theories" in private discussions, asserting the non-existence of the Sandy Hook shooting.

At the 2013 Kentucky Derby, Rodgers reportedly shared his debunked theories with CNN journalist Pamela Brown, who co-authored the recent story, concerning the tragic event that resulted in the loss of 20 children and six adults.

Beyond Brown, who was allowed to remain anonymous for the sake of reporting, CNN has another source who stated that Rodgers stated years ago that "Sandy Hook never happened…All those children never existed. They were all actors."

The Jets quarterback has been reported to have said, "They’re all making it up. They’re all actors," when the source mentioned devastated parents to Rodgers.

During their purported conversation, Rodgers allegedly informed Brown that he believed the shooting was "a government inside job" and accused the media of "intentionally ignoring it."

It is reported that Brown questioned Rodgers, presenting evidence that the Sandy Hook massacre genuinely occurred. In response, Rodgers allegedly presented "various theories" that had been "repeatedly disproven."

In 2023, Rodgers threw his support behind Kennedy after the two bonded over their shared opposition to COVID-19 vaccination.

Describing it as "presidential," Rodgers reposted Kennedy's statement from President Joe Biden's State of the Union speech on X (formerly Twitter) on Tuesday afternoon.

NBC reports that Aaron Rodgers, a four-time MVP and Super Bowl champion at the age of 40, and slated for induction into the Hall of Fame, is expected to return to play later this season after sitting out the first four games of the 2023 campaign due to an injury.
