New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers blasted President Joe Biden’s mental acuity and called out the left for seeing how far they could push Americans.
During a Tuesday interview with Tucker Carlson, the former Fox News star questioned if Democrats were politically messing with Americans.
“You wonder if they’re sort of seeing how far they can push the population until someone starts laughing, like are you joking?” Carlson pondered.
“It feels like that sometimes,” Rodgers concurred. “Like ‘What if we did this? Is anybody gonna give a s–t? No? Now let’s try this one here. We’re gonna put Joe Biden up.’”

“Wait what?” he questioned. “This guy who can’t even walk over here? Who shits his pants every now and then?”
The former Green Bay Packers’ star went after Democrats for becoming radically left and having no tolerance for dissenters.
“Now to even question the government you’re some right-wing, conspiracy, crazy tinfoil hat wearer, which is wild because it seems like the left has gone so far left, and anyone right of that … there’s no center anymore,” he complained.
“That’s according to the left. You’re just, you’re a right-winger unless you’re so far on the left,” Rodgers added.
“The left used to be the party of Occupy Wall Street, and free speech and rights for everybody. Now they’re the ones beating the drums on the war machine and censorship and obedience.”
The NFL star took another shot at Biden when he brought up Carlson’s “f–king awesome” February interview with Russian President Valdimir Putin, who he said “came off as an interesting, thoughtful, smart individual.”
“I think a lot of people are like, ‘Oh, Putin apologists are like, whitewashing all the stuff that he’s done to the different people,'” he said about the controversial foreign leader.
“I was just like, no, I’d love to see Joe Biden give an interview where he can speak on the history of the United States in the same way that Putin talked about the history of his country,” he added.
Elsewhere in the wide-ranging interview, he also discussed how Robert F. Kennedy Jr. approached him to be his running mate in the upcoming Presidential election.
Aaron Rodgers told Tucker Carlson: RFK Jr. is “the only major candidate who has not gotten Secret Service protection”
“He’s spending millions of his own dollars on private security, which he has to, because he’s not bought and paid for”
He’s right.

“My thing is [Donald Trump] had four years to do it and didn’t drain the swamp,” Rodgers began. “And whether he just got scared because of what he learned when he was in there — I think it’s very plausible.”
Which is why he was “interested” when RFK Jr. asked him what he thought about becoming his vice president.
“I said, ‘Are you serious? I’m a f***ing football player,'” he recalled. “But I love this country, and I’d love to be a part of bringing it back to what she used to be.”
It was an offer that despite being a leading quarterback in the NFL, that he actually contemplated.
“Oh yeah, I thought about it,” Rodgers admitted. “I definitely thought about it because I love Bobby, and I just wanted to hear what he had to say about it.”
The Jets’ QB1 also accused the NFL of pushing COVID-19 vaccinations on players and staff during the pandemic to further the league’s advertising revenue from Big Pharma.
“In the NFL, there was a strong push. They sent stooges out to every team to try and enforce a vaccination level above 90% on every team with zero exemption, with zero informed consent,” he explained.

“‘Just get this so that we look good, because Big Pharma’s ad spend is humongous,’ not just on the late-night shows, it obviously influences Hollywood [and] the NFL,” Rodgers continued.
He noted that players had more of a choice about getting the jab than team employees, who were reportedly fired if they refused to comply with the vaccination push.
Rodgers, who caused controversy by claiming he was “immunized” despite refusing to get vaccinated, claimed that members of the Green Bay Packers organization were grateful that he pushed back against the NFL’s mandated process.
“When the stooge came and talked to us, I asked a lot of questions about, like, informed consent, about testing, about liability, and he basically didn’t answer any of my questions; the president of the team ended the meeting,” he recalled.
“I tell you a ton of people from every level of the building came up afterwards and thanked me for asking the questions because many of them had no choice.”
