Jesse Watters: Could Aaron Rodgers Really Become Vice President?


Fox News Jesse Watters discusses rumors of an entrance between Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and Aaron Rodgers on “Jesse Watters Primetime.”

JESSE WATTERS: Today, there's another star who could be about to make a political splash: a sports star, one of the greatest quarterbacks in NFL history. Aaron Rodgers, former Green Bay Packers quarterback now with the Jets, is having his name considered as a possible vice president. Not Trump's vice president, not Biden's vice president, not RFK, Jr.'s vice president.

JETS' AARON RODGERS DENIES ALLEGATIONS HE SHARED SANDY HOOK CONSPIRACIES

ESPN loves the Rodgers VP story, it loves it. Automatic qualifications. And now they can talk about politics without getting into trouble. And do you remember a large part of the ESPN audience? Afro-American. RFK, Jr. [is] He's already performing well with them, and adding Rodgers to the list would both help and hurt Biden greatly. The Jets? Boy, do they need help? Rodgers burst his Achilles tendon on the fourth play of last season. Imagine him returning to training camp this summer as RFK, Jr.'s running mate. Now, if Kennedy-Rodgers wins the White House and the Jets are in the playoffs, would the Secret Service play a line?

What do you think is more difficult? Debate Kamala or beat the Bills? Well, you probably have to prepare more for the Bills, but Rodgers doesn't even have to campaign. He just shows up to practice, throws some touchdowns on Sunday and answers twice as many questions from reporters.

Now, we don't want to get ahead of ourselves, but RFK, Jr. is making his VP announcement in Oakland, which happens to be Aaron Rodgers' hometown. Who wins Wisconsin if Kennedy has Rodgers? Do Trump or Biden have a chance? Kennedy-Rodgers Would they be playing spoiler or would they be playing to win? Remember, Kennedy-Rodgers only needs 34% of the vote and she is in the White House. Three-way division.

Now I know a bunch of guys in their 20s, 30s, and even 40s who would do that ticket just for fun. And tonight, the Democratic Party is in panic mode. Is the word getting out in Washington? Democrats prepare to go to war against third party candidates. After kicking RFK Jr. out of the Democratic primary, the Democratic National Committee isn't done with it. They're building a complete team: smart veterans to quell a potential Kennedy-Rodgers run. Behind the scenes, there's a Jill Stein hangover. Do you remember Jill Stein? Did she cost Hillary 2016? And Jill Stein couldn't even shine these guys' shoes or heels. So the word got out and the media mobilized: Hurt Rodgers before the season even starts.
