Aaron Rodgers has been relatively quiet on social media for the past five months. However, on Thursday, he decided to break the silence in response to a report from CNN suggesting that he once shared conspiracy theories about the Sandy Hook tragedy. In a lengthy post, Rodgers addressed the events at Sandy Hook as an “absolute tragedy” and expressed his deep sympathy for the families affected and the community as a whole.
The tragic shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut in December 2012 resulted in the loss of twenty children and six adults. Rodgers was accused of sharing conspiracy theories during private conversations at the 2013 Kentucky Derby, claiming that Sandy Hook was not real and was instead a government inside job. Despite these allegations, Rodgers did not confirm any specifics of these conversations mentioned in the report.
Rodgers’ social media statement came amidst a week of heightened attention on him, beginning with Robert F. Kennedy Jr considering him as a potential running mate in his presidential bid. Kennedy is expected to announce his vice president on March 26th and is also looking at former Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura for this position. The vice presidential announcement will take place near Rodgers’ hometown of Chico, California.
Despite all controversies and speculations surrounding him, Rodgers has continued to express his support for those affected by tragedies such as Sandy Hook. He hopes to learn from such events to prevent further loss of life and continues to extend his support to the Sandy Hook community through prayers and thoughts.
In conclusion, Aaron Rodgers has taken it upon himself to address false accusations made against him by CNN regarding his alleged involvement with conspiracy theories surrounding Sandy Hook tragedy. He has shown empathy towards those affected by this event while continuing to express his belief that tragedies like this should be prevented from happening again through prevention measures rather than conspiracy theories.
