“A moron”: Aaron Rodgers rips Kamala Harris, says snubbing Joe Rogan was political suicide

Aaron Rodgers has never shied away from controversy, and his latest remarks are no exception. The NFL star blasted Vice President Kamala Harris for refusing Joe Rogan’s podcast invite, claiming the decision was a major political misstep that helped Donald Trump.NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers is once again making headlines far beyond the football field — this time for his unfiltered political commentary. Known for his outspoken views, Rodgers didn’t hold back in a recent podcast appearance, sharply criticizing Vice President Kamala Harris for her decision to skip an invitation to appear on The Joe Rogan Experience during the 2024 U.S. presidential election campaign.“What a moron to not come on the show!” Rodgers exclaimed, clearly frustrated by what he views as a missed opportunity for Harris to connect with a massive and politically diverse audience. “Well, I mean I think that anybody with a brain knows that [Donald] Trump coming on here had a big sway on the election,” he added. The Joe Rogan podcast has become one of the most influential platforms in modern media, especially among younger and independent voters. Rodgers strongly believes that Harris’ refusal to travel to Texas to record the episode — a decision that puzzled many — may have alienated voters who view Rogan as a conduit for unfiltered, long-form political discussion.While there is no definitive evidence that Trump's Rogan appearance tipped the scales, Rodgers is confident it played a significant role. “If [Harris] truly wanted to be the President, going on Rogan’s podcast would have helped her get votes,” he insisted.Rodgers’ comments come against the backdrop of his own flirtation with politics. The quarterback revealed that he was seriously considered as a potential running mate for Robert F. Kennedy Jr. during the 2024 election cycle. However, he ultimately turned down the opportunity.“There were really two options. Retire and be his VP or keep playing. I wanted to keep playing,” Rodgers explained.Despite stepping away from a political campaign, Rodgers has maintained a strong interest in American politics. His Netflix documentary even dives into his political journey, which he says began in high school following the assassination of JFK’s nephew. “I really didn’t have any hope in politics until, really, until you announced your candidacy,” Rodgers told RFK Jr.Also Read: Aaron Rodgers blasted for partying with water gun at concert while using “difficult stuff” excuse to delay NFL decisionWith no confirmed NFL contract for the 2025 season, Rodgers' future in football is uncertain.
