Aaron Rodgers Calls Anthony Fauci An ‘Absolute Coward’ After Contentious Senate Testimony
Fauci declined to answer questions during Senate testimony he provided last week after Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., published the infectious disease expert’s pandemic-era diary entries.
In a contentious Senate testimony, Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers drew criticism for his harsh words directed at Dr. Anthony Fauci. Rodgers, known for his skepticism towards COVID-19 vaccines, labeled the infectious disease expert as an "absolute coward" during an interview with talk show host and former NFL player Pat McAfee.
The heated exchange came after Rodgers repeatedly invoked his Fifth Amendment rights during the Senate hearing, mirroring Senator Rand Paul's actions following his release of diary entries from 2019 to 2022. This incident marks a developing story, with updates expected as the situation unfolds.
