Playing Victim! Jimmy Kimmel Is Aggressor in Epstein List Saga, Not Aaron Rodgers
Feel how you want about Aaron Rodgers's comments, but don't blame him for the war of words that has emerged between the New York Jets' quarterback and late-night show host Jimmy Kimmel.
During his first Pat McAfee Show appearance of the New Year, Rodgers threw a dig at Kimmel while revisiting the potential release of the Epstein client list.
"There’s a lot of people, including Jimmy Kimmel, are really hoping that doesn't come out," said Rodgers on January 2.
Seemingly forgetting all of the low blows that he's sent Rodgers's way, Kimmel melted down on the social media site formerly known as Twitter. The former "Man Show" host, who profited off of misogynistic and sexually aggressive humor, threatened legal action against Rodgers while accusing the four-time NFL MVP of slander.
"Keep it up and we will debate the facts further in court," said Kimmel after labeling Rodgers as a "soft brained wacko."
Reappearing on McAfee on January 9, Rodgers added necessary context to the whole spat with Kimmel.
"The history of this, whatever this is between Jimmy and I, this goes back to COVID times. In COVID times, he mentioned, on his show, jokes about my immunization," said Rodgers, who has been a steadfast supporter of individual medical freedom. "He didn’t just stop there though. He made a lot of other comments about unvaccinated people, mentioning that they don’t deserve treatment. If they’re at a hospital, they shouldn't be given a hospital bed. He made comments about repurposed drugs that were being used all over the world, and have incredible safety profiles, that were derogatory."
In his many failed attempts at comedy, Kimmel has repeatedly used his late-night platform to attack Rodgers for the quarterback's educated stances that challenge mainstream propaganda.
While pushing the government's anti-freedom narrative, and peddling misinformation about the effectiveness of the vaccine and the lethality of COVID, Kimmel called Rodgers a "Green Bay whack packer." He wrongfully attacked Rodgers for suggesting Ivermectin could serve as an effective treatment for COVID. Kimmel consistently questioned the quarterback's character and also scolded him for quoting Martin Luther King while being a "white millionaire."
With misinformation flooding the airwaves during the COVID pandemic, Rodgers did all of us a public service by using his stature to question authority and its corrupted motivations. He tried to inform people about alternative treatments that would alleviate the need for a vaccine.
Naturally, the vaccine manufacturers, and the government officials invested in those companies, had an interest in silencing Rodgers and any dissenters. Since they couldn't stand on the merit of the flawed "vaccines," they resorted to character defamation and attempted to discredit Rodgers and anyone who dared to question the government's collective, over-the-top COVID response.
"The vax is not safe and effective like we were told that it was in the beginning," said Rodgers on January 9. "There are a lot of injuries, that we’ve seen, related to the vaccine."
The corruption that allowed for vaccine injuries to occur is the same corruption that is preventing the rumored Epstein revelations from being uncovered.
In 2023, Kimmel attacked Rodgers for simply mentioning the Epstein client list during a February 14 appearance. Kimmel seemed weirdly offended by the idea that such a list actually exists and he took it out on Rodgers by tastelessly making light of football head injuries.
"Might be time to revisit that concussion protocol, Aaron," said Kimmel to a smattering of canned studio-produced laughter.
Kimmel continued to display his true colors this week. On the January 8 episode of his increasingly irrelevant television show, he insinuated that Rodgers doesn't deserve to have an opinion on important issues because he attended junior college before transferring to Cal. It's impossible to draw up a more elitist, condescending take than that. Criticizing community college students, who are trying to improve their circumstances, is pretty low.
“He comes out and says I’m an overly-concussed whacko, in my opinion, because I believed there was a list and there were names on it,” said Rodgers. "I think it’s impressive a man who went to Arizona State and has 10 joke writers can read off a prompter."
It's refreshing to see that Rodgers is not backing down. Whether it's speaking out against government-issued mandates or media-aided corruption, the future Hall-of-Fame quarterback appears to be on the right side of history. Twenty years from now, folks will look back and realize that Kimmel's clown-like behavior was not only unwarranted but it was also destructive.
Despite firing the first shot in this long and winding saga, Kimmel still can't admit that there is a lot of merit to what Rodgers has been preaching all along.
Nevermind accepting the idea that folks are allowed to have differing opinions while coming to their own conclusions, Kimmel can't even admit that he has been wrong from the start. For someone who makes a living making fun of others, his reaction to Rodgers is rather pathetic.
