Aaron Rodgers emphatic he was taken out of context during Jimmy Kimmel-Jeffrey Epstein ordeal
Aaron Rodgers has reiterated he did not intend to imply that Jimmy Kimmel would be on the list of Jeffrey Epstein associates.
The 40-year-old Jets quarterback returned to the Joe Rogan Experience this week and was asked why he brought up Kimmel in connection with the list.
Rodgers explained Kimmel had mocked him after he deadpanned on The Pat McAfee Show that government UFO disclosures might be a distraction for the upcoming release of a list of rich and powerful people accused of participating in Epsteins infamous underage sex trafficking ring.
He had gone on his show and called me a tinfoil-hat-wearing doofus who is talking about the I thought he had said that I was an idiot for even thinking that theres a list out there, Rodgers said.
In an appearance on McAfees show in January, Rodgers former teammate A.J. Hawk brought up the Epstein list.
Its supposed to be coming out soon, Rodgers said of the list, adding, with a smirk, Theres a lot of people, including Jimmy Kimmel, that are really hoping that doesnt come out.
Rogan asked this week, So when you were saying that he doesnt want that list to come out, you werent saying that he was on that list?
Rodgers answered, No!
Rogan said that a lot of people saw the interaction out of context and thought that was what Rodgers meant.
Nobody watched the f—ing clip. Thats why. They just saw a headline and were like, Oh its the anti-vax guy again, lets hammer him, Rodgers said.
In an appearance on the “Joe Rogan Experience”, Aaron Rodgers insisted he was taken out of context during the infamous Jimmy Kimmel-Jeffrey Epstein ordeal. Joe Rogan ExperienceWhen Rodgers made the comment, it ignited a firestorm inside ESPN which airs McAfees show and is under the Disney umbrella with ABC, where Kimmel hosts his late-night talk program.
Mike Foss, the ESPN executive who oversees McAfees show, said, Aaron made a dumb and factually inaccurate joke about Jimmy Kimmel. It should never have happened. We all realized that in the moment.
On the podcast this week, Rogan said that he himself had seen the clip out of context and thought Rodgers was implying Kimmel would be on it.
A lot of celebrities are on that list, Rogan said.

Theres 100 victims. Nobodys gone to jail. Ghislaine Maxwell was charged and in jail for trafficking to nobody? I said this when I went back on McAfees show. Thats a big f—ing accusation that I wouldnt make. I said, Jimmy, Im glad youre not on the list.
Rodgers nonetheless felt Kimmel should keep the same energy for what happened with Epstein as the disdain he had for people who were skeptical of the COVID-19 vaccine.
All Im asking is, lets have the same energy for you talking about the vax and people, if youre not vaxed, being left to die about these people on the list, because its f—ed up, Rodgers said.

Rogan opined, with Rodgers agreement, that Epsteins island was an intelligence operation where they were compromising powerful figures and they could use that to control all sorts of narratives and make all sorts of decisions.
Rodgers said Kimmels staff invited him on the show last summer, but that he would like to have a private conversation with the host before they talk on-air.
