NFL star Aaron Rodgers has blasted United States President Joe Biden after the latter appeared to mock the sportsman.
Aaron Rodgers Bashes President Biden After The Latter Called On The NFL Player To Get Vaccinated
Aaron, for his part, has not had the easiest of time of late as a result of backlash he has received in response to his Covid-19 vaccination status. The initial controversy emerged after he had told the media that he was ‘immunised’ against Covid.
Naturally, the assumption was that he had taken the vaccine, but when it turned out to be anything but that, he was subjected to mass criticism on the grounds that he had deceived the media.
And during the course of a presidential visit to Kentucky, which had recently been devastated by tornadoes, the President confronted a supporter of the Green Bay Packers (the team Aaron plays for).
In the video here, we can see that the woman is wearing the green jacket of the team. The President is then alleged to have stated the following: “Tell that quarterback he’s gotta get the vaccine.”
While the comments did generate some laughter, that was the last thing that was going through Aaron’s mind. And he made sure in no uncertain terms that he told the whole world exactly how he felt about that.
In response, he blasted the President for not encouraging a policy of dialogue, but instead, alienating people simply on the grounds that they are either vaccinated or not.
In a statement in response, the NFL player said: “And you still have this fake White House set saying that this is the pandemic of the unvaccinated, that’s not helping the conversation.”
That was just the start, as Aaron took things a step further by questioning how the President even got elected in the first place in light of reports that his cognitive functions are not what they used to be.
His following comments confirmed as much: “I don’t know how there are any if you watch any of his attempts at public speaking, but I guess he got 81 million votes.”
It is safe to say that Aaron and President Biden will not be on good terms anytime soon. Let us know what you think in the comment section down below.
