Rodgers, who has been considering Kennedy’s bid to become his running mate in the 2024 presidential election, said on “The Pat McAfee Show” that he wanted to watch the audience to “just see who tried to have sex with him.”
“Please, someone try to pick on him and watch him mop the floor with any of these senators,” Rodgers said. “You better get ready, senators, get ready and try to see if you can take it out on my boy, Bobby, because Bobby is f—— smart, man. And no notes, unprompted , can handle his pretty well, I’m so excited he does – and honestly, everyone else should too.
Rodgers discussed Kennedy’s “Make America Healthy Again” initiative. The movement appears to have been started this week when the FDA banned red food coloring due to a potential cancer risk.

“For example, if you spend a minute researching the ingredients of products in the United States versus 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’s okay [be] because he’s doing everyone a favor if you just let him get you out of the way and stop trying to label him as whatever they want to label him these days.
“He just wants to make sure that everything that’s given to our children is safe, that everything we ingest on a daily basis is safe, and he’s going to ‘Make America Healthy Again’ or he’s going to freak out and die in trying.”
