Rodgers, who was considering Kennedy’s bid to be his running mate in the 2024 presidential election, said on “The Pat McAfee Show” that he wanted to watch the hearing to “just see who was trying to f… with him.”
“Like, please, somebody try to get after him and just watch him completely wipe the floor with any of these senators,” Rodgers said. “You better get ready senators, get ready and try and see if you can pull one over on my boy, Bobby, because Bobby is f—— smart, dude. And no notes, off the cuff, can hold his own pretty well, so excited for him – and frankly everyone should too.”
Rodgers came in on Kennedy’s “Make America Healthy Again” initiative. The movement appeared to be kick-started this week when the FDA banned red food coloring due to potential cancer risk.

“Like if you spend a minute researching ingredients in products in the states compared to overseas, it’s disgusting,” the star quarterback said. “It’s disgusting what they allow here, the levels they allow here, products that are terrible for you, products that they know are carcinogenic. So it will [be] like he’s doing everyone a favor if you just leave him the hell out of the way and stop trying to label him as whatever the f— they want to label him these days.
“He just wants to make sure that everything that’s given to our kids is safe, everything that we consume everyday is safe, and he’s going to ‘Make America Healthy Again’ or go crazy. die. by trying.”
