Aaron Rodgers claims Robert F. Kennedy Jr's life is 'in danger' as he airs conspiracy theories about the deaths of his dad RFK and uncle JFK: 'We know the CIA was involved'

New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers threw his full support behind Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s presidential bid before echoing conspiracies about deaths in the politician's family in a recent interview.

Rodgers, 40, who was once in the running for Kennedy's vice presidential pick, appeared on the I Can Fly podcast on Tuesday. 

During the over-two-hour-long interview, Rodgers discussed his relationship with Kennedy while lambasting the past two presidential administrations.

At one point, Rodgers claimed Kennedy was 'in danger' due to his views and a series of seemingly suspicious deaths in the family.

'They killed his uncle, killed his dad,' Rodgers said. 'We know the CIA was involved. I mean, they can't declassify it because it's so damning. We know the FBI was involved.'

He then asserted that former FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover 'hated the Kennedys' before spiraling into a rant.

'So Bobby loses his uncle, JFK, his father, RFK. His cousin dies in a plane crash when he was running against Hillary Clinton,' the quarterback professed.

'I'm not saying that's a conspiracy, but it's kind of a weird coincidence. Bobby's in danger. He's putting himself on the line. Why? Because he fucking believes in this country.'

Rodgers then likened the independent presidential candidate to fictional characters from franchises like Star Wars and Lord of the Rings.

'That is, like I said earlier, the archetype of everything we love about Luke Skywalker and Han Solo, everything we love about Frodo and Sam and Eragon, and Gandolf, and Merry and Pippin,' he said.

'Everything that we love about Gamora and Groot and Rocket and Drax…these people believe in something.'

Tuesday's interview was not the first time Rodgers has promoted conspiracy theories. 

The NFL player has questioned the safety of Covid-19 vaccines and branded immunologist Anthony Fauci 'one of the biggest spreaders of misinformation.'

Kennedy himself has been a firm opponent of Covid vaccines and was slammed for postulating that Covid-19 could have been 'ethnically targeted' to spare Ashkenazi Jews and Chinese people.

Rodgers drummed up a firestorm of criticism after contracting Covid-19 in November 2021, despite insisting months earlier that he was 'immunized' against the virus.

However, during an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show, Rodgers asserted that he was not 'some sort of anti-vax flat earther,' but a 'critical thinker' who believed in 'bodily autonomy.'

Rodgers then nodded to Joe Rogan, whose track record of airing false claims about the pandemic made him the target of similar criticism.

'I consulted with a now good friend of mine, Joe Rogan, after he got Covid, and I've been doing a lot of the stuff that he recommended,' the football player said, claiming he was allergic to ingredients in two of the FDA-approved vaccines.

However, NFL experts found no evidence that the treatments Rodgers used were effective. He was ultimately ordered to pay $14,650 for breaking NFL Covid-19 safety protocols.

The controversial quarterback has also been accused of pushing conspiracy theories about mass casualty events including 9/11.

In November 2022, Packers backup quarterback DeShone Kizer claimed Rodgers had encouraged him to question whether the attacks on the Twin Towers were real.

'He shut the door, and the first thing that comes out of Aaron Rodgers' mouth was 'Do you believe in 9/11?'' Kizer recalled during an appearance on The Breneman Show podcast.

He said Rodgers wanted him to 'go back and look into some of the conspiracies around it.'

Rodgers was also alleged to have questioned whether 9/11 actually happened

Most dangerous were his claims about the 2012 Sandy Hook school shooting, which mirrored similar conspiracies pushed by Alex Jones

 Most damagingly, Rodgers was accused of sharing deranged conspiracy theories about the 2012 Sandy Hook school shooting.

Last month, CNN journalist Pamela Brown reported that Rodgers deemed the shooting a government 'inside job' that the media was intentionally ignoring.

He allegedly asked Brown if she thought it was odd that black-clad men were in the woods by the school, falsely labelling the men government operatives.

The network cited another source who claimed Rodgers said years ago that 'Sandy Hook never happened,' adding: 'All those children never existed. They were all actors.'

Following the explosive reveal, Rodgers denied ever believing that the massacre did not take place.

'As I'm on the record saying in the past, what happened in Sandy Hook was an absolute tragedy. I am not and have never been of the opinion that the events did not take place,' he said in a statement posted to X, formerly Twitter.

'Again, I hope that we learn from this and other tragedies to identify the signs that will allow us to prevent unnecessary loss of life. My thoughts and prayers continue to remain with the families affected along with the entire Sandy Hook community.'

The conspiracies bore striking resemblance to claims pushed by serial fabulist Alex Jones, who was ordered to pay over $1 billion to the grieving families of Sandy Hook victims after years of insisting that their murdered children were 'crisis actors.'
