Aaron Rodgers issued a non-denial-denial about his Sandy Hook trooferism:
New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers responded Thursday to a CNN report that he cast doubt on the veracity of the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre, which killed 20 children and six adults.
CNN reported Wednesday that Rodgers, the sure-fire Hall of Fame signal caller, has privately espoused the patently false theory — that the school shooting in Newtown, Connecticut, “was actually a government inside job and the media was intentionally ignoring it.”
[…]
“As I’m on the record saying in the past, what happened in Sandy Hook was an absolute tragedy,” Rodgers said in a statement on X.
“I am not and have never been of the opinion that the events did not take place. Again, I hope that we learn from this and other tragedies to identify the signs that will allow us to prevent unnecessary loss of life. My thoughts and prayers continue to remain with the families affected along with the entire Sandy Hook community.”
This is just “I’ve been immunized” as applied to Sandy Hook conspiracy theories — it doesn’t even take a particularly close reading to see that nothing he said is incompatible with the idea that Sandy Hook was an “inside job.”
And there’s plenty more where that came from:
That’s because I recently listened to the New York Jets quarterback’s appearance on the Look Into It with Eddie Bravo podcast. Currently only available behind a paywall, I plunked down the $14.99 (ugh) necessary to listen to this show’s full episodes, which feature “uncensored conversations with ‘red-pilled’ martial arts stars, comedians, rock stars, and conspiracy theorists.”
You might have heard about the episode as some details made their way onto aggregation sites, news sites, and social media. The list of topics discussed during the three-hour episode certainly paints a picture.
I’m not even going to try to cherry-pick individual examples because they’re all similarly insane. RFK Jr.’s perfect running mate, in other words, and I assume he’ll be a regular guest on whatever obscure fash platform is hosting Glenn Greenwald’s video blog these days.
