Aaron Rodgers, a prominent NFL player, recently criticized Anthony Fauci, the former White House COVID advisor, on Pat McAfee’s show. Rodgers called Fauci an ‘absolute coward’ for pleading the Fifth 111 times during a Senate hearing.
Fauci’s Lawyer Responds
Fauci’s lawyer, David Schertler, responded to Rodgers’ criticism, stating that Rodgers ‘doesn’t know what he’s talking about’ and should ‘stick to football.’ Fauci was questioned by the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, chaired by Sen. Rand Paul, over his response to the pandemic and his policy decisions.
Rodgers also expressed his skepticism about the COVID-19 pandemic, stating that it was ‘made in a lab in China.’ He further criticized Fauci for his handling of the pandemic, calling him an ‘absolute criminal.’ The Steelers, Rodgers’ team, declined to comment on the matter, stating that players are entitled to their own personal views.
