Aaron Rodgers 'shared deranged conspiracy theories about the 2012 Sandy Hook school shooting not being real in private conversations with journalists'... claiming the children 'never existed' and were 'all actors'

After Robert F. Kennedy Jr. confirmed Aaron Rodgers was on his shortlist for vice-presidential running mates, a report has emerged about the Jets quarterback sharing debunked conspiracy theories about the 2012 Sandy Hook school shooting.

Kennedy is running as an independent in November's Presidential Election, with Rodgers - and former Minnesota governor and professional wrestler Jesse Ventura - confirmed as possible vice-presidential picks. 

According to a bombshell new CNN report, Rodgers had private conversations where he 'enthusiastically' shared 'deranged conspiracy theories' about the Sandy Hook shooting not being real.

Rodgers allegedly shared his debunked theories about the shooting that tragically killed 20 children and six adults to CNN journalist Pamela Brown, who co-authored the new report, during the 2013 Kentucky Derby. 

CNN has another source beyond Brown who was given anonymity for their story, who said several years ago Rodgers claimed 'Sandy Hook never happened…All those children never existed. They were all actors.'

When the source brought up grieving parents to Rodgers, they allegedly recall the Jets quarterback saying 'They’re all making it up. They’re all actors.'

During the alleged conversation with Brown, Rodgers called the shooting 'a government inside job' and the media was 'intentionally ignoring it.'

Brown allegedly questioned Rodgers, providing evidence the Sandy Hook shooting was real. Rodgers retorted with 'various theories' that had been disproven 'numerous times.'

DailyMail.com has reached out to Rodgers' representatives for comment, who have not immediately responded. 

Kennedy will announce his running mate on March 26 in Oakland, California, with some connecting Rodgers' hometown of Chico and playing college football at Cal for reasons the city was chosen for the announcement.

After suffering a season-ending Achilles injury four plays into his tenure with the Jets in September, Rodgers stayed in the news thanks in large part to his weekly appearances on 'The Pat McAfee Show'. 

During his weekly television spot, Rodgers would go on crazy rants with many questioning if ESPN would cut the feed to not air the four-time NFL MVP's deranged comments. 

Rodgers has been open about his disdain for the coronavirus vaccine ever since they became available to NFL players in 2021. To this day, Rodgers maintains he's unvaccinated for COVID-19.

Questioning the legitimacy of COVID-19 treatments and vaccines have been a conspiratorial calling card since the pandemic was at its height in 2020. 

Rodgers spent his entire NFL career with the Green Bay Packers until being traded to the Jets last year. 

Former Packers quarterback DeShone Kizer said Rodgers once asked him if he thought the September 11 terrorists attacks were real, per NBC Sports.

'The first thing that comes out of Aaron Rodgers’s mouth was "You believe in 9/11?"' Kizer said. '"What? Do I believe in 9/11? Yeah, why wouldn’t I?"'

Rodgers apparently made a believer out of Kizer, who shared what other conspiracy theories the duo talked about.

'Inner Earth, moon landing, reptile people,' Kizer said. 'Y’all are laughing. Go do your research, I’m telling you. Go do your research.'

Rodgers has yet to directly respond to the claims.
