Aaron Rodgers for RFK Veep?

Robert F. #Kennedy Jr.’s consideration of New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers as his running mate is sparking backlash and raising fresh scrutiny over the athlete’s past controversial comments.

Rodgers is one of a few candidates that #RFKJr’s campaign confirmed is on its shortlist for vice president ahead of an announcement set for Tuesday, March 26th.

If chosen, Rodgers would be a high-profile name for Kennedy’s ticket as he tries to gain steam for his independent bid. But while strategists from both sides of the aisle said a pick like Rodgers may help Kennedy get more of the attention he desires for his candidacy, it could also plague him with controversy amid scrutiny over the future Pro Football Hall of Famer’s past statements on the Sandy Hook shooting and vaccines.

In this highlight from Episode 30 of “Strange Bedfellows” we discussed whether Rodgers is still in the running for VP and whether a new CNN report alleging the NFL star’s alleged 2013 denial of the Sandy Hook school shooting is #FakeNews.
