Asked by ESPN about his upcoming season quarterbacking the Pittsburgh Steelers, Aaron Rodgers pleaded The Fifth, mocking former COVID czar Dr. Anthony Fauci for doing the same 111 times last week while appearing before Congress to face questions about his handling of the epidemic.Monday on The Pat McAfee Show, the host asked Rodgers some simple questions about how it feels to be entering his final season before retiring:“Can you tell us about the mindset of coming into your last season?

Yeah, 111 times, and you’ve got a pardon and pleaded over 100 times,” Rodgers said. “What are you scared of Tony?” Rodgers asked.“I thought you were ‘the science.’ I thought you were ‘I am science.’ And you get up there and you can’t answer a question,” Rodgers said. “I thought you had a pardon there, Tony? Why couldn’t you answer one question the entire time?”The NFL star didn’t stop with Fauci’s part in the COVID controversy, however, turning his attention to the way he was vilified in the media when he expressed doubts about Fauci’s “science”:“What are they going to say about me now? Now, they can’t talk about the COVID stuff, because, obviously, it was made in a lab in China; that’s not even questionable now.
