New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers posted a picture of him shaking hands with former President Donald Trump at UFC 302.

Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers — who had been considered to be a running mate for Robert F. Kennedy Jr. — was in the crowd near Trump for the major event.

Trump, who was convicted of 34 counts of falsifying business records on Thursday, received a rousing ovation from the crowd.

At Newark’s Prudential Center on Saturday, Trump arrived just after mixed martial artist (MMA) Sean Strickland, who was welcomed with yells of “USA, USA!” Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) president Dana White escorted him and sat at the ringside.

Footage showed Trump walking past Aaron Rodgers, who did not get up to greet him.

 

New footage has now emerged of the moment Trump raises a fist and salutes the fans after they started a loud chant of “f— Joe Biden.”

Behind Trump was Aaron Rodgers, who could be seen smiling and talking with another man at that moment.

Aaron Rodgers’ reaction didn’t go unnoticed on social media:

The jury in Trump’s trial determined that he had unlawfully impacted the 2016 election by concealing a $130,000 hush money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels, who has maintained that she had a consensual sexual encounter with the billionaire a decade earlier. This discovery coincides with the celebrity’s riotous greeting in New Jersey. A maximum prison sentence of four years is imposed for each crime.

 

On July 11, Trump will be sentenced; nevertheless, it is doubtful that he will receive a jail term. Being the first president in US history to be found guilty of a felony, he is furious about the ‘rigged’ trial and believes it was done for political purposes as his campaign for reelection in 2024 takes momentum.

Aaron Rodgers Was On The Top of The List To Be Robert Kennedy Jr.’s Running Mate

Former Minnesota governor Jesse Ventura and quarterback Aaron Rodgers of the New York Jets were the top two candidates for 2024 presidential nominee Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s running partners, via ABC News.

Kennedy has made his affiliations with Rodgers and Ventura known to the public. He shared a picture of himself and Rodgers hiking on social media while Ventura, a former professional wrestler turned politician, showed up at his event in Arizona.

Additionally, both men have embraced certain disproved assertions in common with Kennedy: Ventura has promoted 9/11 conspiracy theories, and Rodgers has made false statements regarding COVID-19 vaccinations.

Another week, another instance of New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers floating ridiculous conspiracy theories.

Just last week, Aaron Rodgers made headlines when he a) claimed that the CIA and FBI were involved in the assassinations of Robert F. Kennedy and John F. Kennedy b) U.S. President Joe Biden isn’t a real person.

Well, the 40-year-old Rodgers was at it again during his recent appearance on Eddie Bravo’s “Look Into It” podcast. There, the future Hall of Famer claimed that the U.S. government created HIV/AIDS to start a pandemic.

“The blueprint, the gameplan, was made in the ’80s. Create a pandemic, with a virus that’s going wild…(Dr. Anthony) Fauci was given like over $350 million to research this. To come up with drugs, new or repurposed, to handle the AIDS pandemic.

And all they came up….was AZT. And I know I’m not an epidemiologist. I’m not a doctor…I can read though. I can learn and look things up just like any normal person. I can do my own research…but that was the gameplan back then. Create an environment where only one thing works.”

Rodgers then discussed vaccines, calling Pfizer “one of the most criminally corrupt organizations ever.” The four-time league MVP concluded his rant by asking why people put “full trust in science that can’t be questioned.”

And as you would have guessed, social media wasted no time ripping Rodgers apart for his latest conspiracy theory endorsement:

On top of all these conspiracy theories, Aaron Rodgers has also spread misinformation about COVID-19 vaccines and falsely stated that Jimmy Kimmel was on the client list of disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein.

Rodgers’ comments on Kimmel were made on “The Pat McAfee Show”. Kimmel called out Rodgers on X/Twitter and ripped on the Jets QB during his talk show soon after, and McAfee later announced that Rodgers wouldn’t appear on his show for the rest of the year.

Aaron Rodgers Doesn’t Care About Backlash

Whether fans like it or not, this is who Aaron Rodgers is. He may be a joy to watch on the field for millions of fans, but he also isn’t apologetic for expressing his opinions and support of conspiracy theories.

It’s rather obvious that the Jets haven’t done much, if anything, to get Rodgers to tone it town. It seems as though they’re fine putting up with his unnecessary off-the-field comments and distractions as long as he finds a way to help them win football games.
