NFL player Aaron Rodgers recently appeared on his Pittsburgh Steelers teammate Cam Heyward’s podcast, Not Just Football, and criticized the “MAGA movement” and Donald Trump for seemingly not living up to his campaign promises.“There’s no MAGA movement. There’s no ‘Make America Great Again’ movement because the guy you elected hasn’t done any of his campaign promises,” Rodgers, 42, who is a former MAGA ally, claimed.The quarterback’s remarks earned backlash from Australian-born actress, TV presenter, and model Ruby Rose, who is a longtime, vocal Trump critic.“Aaron doesn’t get to pretend he has Trump grievances. He thinks Sandy Hook was a hoax...” Rose, 40, wrote in the comment section of The Daily Beast’s post on Threads.Ruby Rose calls out Aaron Rodgers. (Image via Threads) Sandy Hook refers to the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in Newtown, Connecticut, in December 2012.CNN journalist Pamela Brown was covering the 2013 Kentucky Derby, where she reportedly met Aaron Rodgers, who claimed in an alleged rant that the mass shooting incident was a government “inside job” and accused the U.S. media of ignoring/downplaying it. He later refuted the claim.Exploring Aaron Rodgers’ views about the Sandy Hook shootingOn December 14, 2012, 20-year-old Adam Lanza fatally shot 26 people at the Sandy Hook Elementary School, including 20 children and six adults. The same day, before driving himself to the school, he also killed his mother, Nancy Lanza, at their home.Before he could be apprehended by authorities at the crime scene, Adam Lanza fatally shot himself in the head. To this day, the mass shooting is one of the deadliest school shootings in U.S. history.Less than six months after the tragedy, Aaron Rodgers allegedly shared debunked conspiracy theories about Sandy Hook with CNN staffers at the Kentucky Derby.Back then, CNN quoted another anonymous source who claimed to have had a similar discussion with Aaron, where he allegedly stated:“Sandy Hook never happened… All those children never existed.”The Steelers player reportedly hinted that crisis actors were used to stage the massacre.After independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. reportedly included Aaron Rodgers’ name in the “short list” of his vice presidential running mate for the 2024 presidential election, the athlete’s prior remarks about the Sandy Hook shooting resurfaced.The then-New York Jets QB was quick to shut down the claims and wrote in a now-deleted tweet:“As I'm on the record saying in the past, what happened in Sandy Hook was an absolute tragedy. 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.”Aaron Rodgers shared RFK Jr.’s opinion about the COVID-19 pandemic, meaning he too was anti-vaccination. In May 2024, he spoke to Tucker Carlson in an interview, saying that his initial reaction to the politician’s offer was:“I said, 'Are you serious? I’m a f**king football player.'”However, Rodgers later seriously considered the offer.“Oh yeah, I thought about it. Definitely thought about it because I love Bobby and I just wanted to hear what he had to say about it.”He also told Carlson that he was “super-patriotic” and wanted to eliminate “evils” from the world.“I’m not beholden to anybody. I’m dangerous to 'them,' because I speak my mind. I’m not a cliché-ridden, obedient star athlete. I speak my mind. I’m a loose cannon to them… I love this country and I’d love to be a part of bringing it back to what it used to be,” the former Green Bay Packers star added.Aaron Rodgers also shared that Donald Trump “didn’t drain the swamp” in four years (2016-2020) that he got in his first term, but he understood why “red-blooded Americans” supported the politician. Rodgers claimed Trump “just got scared” about what he “learned” when he was in there. However, the athlete seemed to appreciate the president’s “rhetoric” of “taking back and making America great again.”In the same interview, Aaron claimed that his fellow NFL players had “fake” vaccination cards. The athlete praised Russian President Vladimir Putin and disapproved of the Biden administration.Now, on defensive tackle Cam Heyward’s podcast, his quarterback teammate appeared to have changed his opinion about Trump, 80. Aaron Rodgers said:“Trump gets into office running on all these policies. You know, he’s going to go after the swamp and go into Fort Knox and cut the vaccine stuff and not go into foreign wars and end the Ukraine stuff and... what’s actually happened?”Rodgers claimed Trump has failed to follow through on his campaign promises.“Transparency in the Epstein files: Absolutely nothing. There’s been nothing but the obstruction of transparency with this entire administration. Anybody who even liked Trump or thought that things would change. Like, this is a pro-Israel-first administration. And when you dig into it, that’s the uni-party. It’s: how many members of Congress are sponsored by AIPAC?”Aaron Rodgers also called out the Obama and Biden administrations and dismissed the rumor that he is a “Trumper.”“They think because I’m a, uhh, you know, anti-vax that I’m like a right-wing conspiracy theorist, you know, Trumper. And I’m like, I don’t trust anybody in politics. Maybe Ron Paul.”Trump and the White House have yet to respond to Rodgers’ allegations.
