Dumb Guy Aaron Rodgers Says Vladimir Putin Is 'Smart'

Aaron Rodgers had big shoes to fill when he became quarterback of the Green Bay Packers. He was replacing Brett Favre, considered by many to be one of the greatest QBs of all time. It was a difficult task, but Rodgers rose to the challenge. Within three years of becoming the team’s full-time hurler, Rodgers helped them win the Super Bowl, earning an MVP trophy. He continued to play well there and has continued to follow in Favre’s footsteps by being a dumb asshole.

Favre was revealed to be part of a welfare scandal in Mississippi. The former footballer asked Mississippi’s then-governor Phil Bryant to use a large portion of welfare funds to build a new volleyball facility at the University of Southern Mississippi. He had attended the school, and his daughter played volleyball there. Favre has yet to be charged but still owes the state money.

Not to be outdone, Rodgers has also had a string of bad behavior. The Jets QB has been staunchly anti-vaccination (especially during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic). He baselessly accused Jimmy Kimmel of being a pedophile. He’s privately shared Sandy Hook conspiracy theories. He publicly claimed Anthony Fauci engineered the AIDS epidemic. The dude sucks. Of course, he’s praising Vladimir Putin on Tucker Carlson’s show.

Rodgers sat down with the disgraced former Fox News host so they could both sit with their mouths agape and pretend to have an intelligent conversation. The QB referred to an interview between Carlson and Putin this year as “awesome.” “Putin came off as an interesting, thoughtful, smart individual. And if you’ve read 1984, the base game plan of government control is you have to have an enemy, and you have to slander that enemy regardless if you know anything about them,” Rodgers told Carlson, invoking the famed George Orwell novel I would bet good money he hasn’t read.

Ole Aaron doubled down on being a Putin apologist, saying, “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.’ I was just like, no, I’d love to, 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.” Yeah, that’s it, Aaron! If someone can talk about history, they can’t possibly be a monstrous dictator!

It wouldn’t be an Aaron Rodgers interview without conspiracy theories. The quarterback blamed the government for holding us all back. “There’s some wild things out there that we don’t know about at minimum,” he said. “Whether you believe in alien life, UFOs, UAPs, whatever you want to call it, there’s some technology out there that exists … [but] the government or powers that be don’t think we’re ready to be given that information, which is wild,” Rodgers said on Carlson’s Twitter show. Thank goodness that Elon Musk is platforming these dumb conversations. It’s not like Rodgers and Carlson could talk about this stuff in your weird Uncle’s basement where they belong. Think of the optics!

It feels like Rodgers is no longer looking to eclipse Favre’s football career. Instead, he’s gunning for his crumbling public persona. Go, Aaron, go!
