Have you noticed that the US government is shooting down unidentified flying objects? That goes for Aaron Rodgers too, and he has a theory about it. No, it’s not because the US is looking for balloon-sized objects where they used to be, but because the scary government is trying to distract you from looking at… Jeffrey Epstein.
“There are a lot of old papers and files about interactions Navy pilots have had with unidentified flying objects, so this is not surprising,” Rodgers told Pat McAfee on Tuesday. “It’s clear there was some kind of Chinese spy balloon in the sky, and a few other objects were shot down. I believe this has been going on for a long time. Interesting timing for everything. There are many other things happening in the world.”
Rodgers and McAfee then opened up about the “crazy things” going on in the world. And Rodgers had this extremely nuanced and informed take on Epstein:
“Have you heard that the Epstein client list is going to be released soon? There are some files with some names that may be released soon. [Ghislaine] Maxwell was the only person ever convicted of human trafficking, and no one involved in human trafficking ever went to prison, so… there’s nothing to see here.”
In all seriousness, this is one of the dumbest conversations about anything I’ve ever heard in my life, and the fact that people listen to these brainiacs’ opinions on current events is mind-boggling and devastatingly depressing.
Julie K. Brown, a Miami reporter who has been covering the Epstein story since Day 1 wrote a whole book about itwas understandably shocked by Rodgers’ continued spread of misinformation:
But this is how misinformation spreads, right? Someone with a platform, who hasn’t bothered to do any research, ‘heard’ about something, largely misunderstands the story, tells it to someone else – who also hasn’t done any research, a giant game of telephone ensues and ‘ Jeffrey Epstein Chinese Balloon Purple Monkey Dishwasher” appears. And when those who actually know better try to correct the facts, they are called “straw men” by a bunch of idiots who never knew what they were talking about in the first place. Great work, Aaron.
If the Jets read this, sign Derek Carr! You don’t want this circus rolling into town.
