Ex-NFL Star Antonio Brown Shades Aaron Rodgers Following Report That He’s Allegedly a Sandy Hook Denier

Aaron Rodgers is under so much fire for allegedly pushing conspiracy theories about the Sandy Hook school shooting that even Antonio Brown called him out.

On Wednesday evening, CNN published a report claiming Rodgers shared his theories with a CNN host Pamela Brown at the Kentucky Derby in 2013. When she told him she worked at CNN, Rodgers immediately started accusing the media of “covering up important stories.” He then shifted his focus to Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, where 20 children and six adults were killed in a mass shooting. Rodgers told Brown that the shooting was a “inside job” by the government and claimed the victims “never existed” and “were all actors.”

The report came just over 24 hours after it was revealed that Rodgers was on independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy’s shortlist of potential running mates.

Brown, no stranger to controversy, believes the latest report makes his off-the-field issues look tame in comparison.

“You think I’m fucked up,” Brown tweeted late Wednesday night.

While Rodgers spent much of this past NFL season in the headlines despite not even playing, that has been Brown reality for the last few years. After famously quitting on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the middle of a game, Brown has attacked reporters for stories they didn’t even write and been arrested for unpaid child support.
