Jimmy Kimmel wants Aaron Rodgers to know he’s never been on Jeffrey Epstein’s plane
Normal football player Aaron Rodgers suggested that Jimmy Kimmel’s name would appear in the Epstein flight logs
Aaron Rodgers, the famed conspiracy theorist and occasional professional football player, has once again said something very dumb. Now, we understand that’s not news. Anyone who publicly touted the benefits of ivermectin, floated 9/11 conspiracies to co-workers, and lied about reading Atlas Shrugged is going to say dumb things. This is just the first time Jimmy Kimmel has threatened to sue him over it.
Again appearing on his second home, The Pat McAfee, Rodgers suggested that Kimmel’s name would appear in Jeffrey Epstein’s flight logs, which are expected to be made public this week, and that he will pop “some sort of bottle” when the list is revealed. “There’s a lot of people, including Jimmy Kimmel, [who] are really hoping that doesn’t come out,” he said. “I’ll tell you what, if that list comes out, I definitely will be popping some sort of bottle.”
Kimmel didn’t take being associated with one of the country’s most notorious sex traffickers/financiers lying down. The comedian published an open letter to the “soft-brained wackos” like Rodgers on Twitter.
“Dear Aasshole: for the record, I’ve not met, flown with, visited, or had any contact whatsoever with Epstein, nor will you find my name on any “list” other than the clearly-phony nonsense that soft-brained wackos like yourself can’t seem to distinguish from reality. Your reckless words put my family in danger. Keep it up and we will debate the facts further in court.”
Kimmel frequently spars with Rodgers via his late-night show. Earlier this year, Rodgers expressed his excitement over unveiling those Epstein flight logs, a perfectly normal thing for a man with a Super Bowl ring to anticipate. Kimmel later aired the clip on his late-night show, joking that the NFL should “revisit its concussion protocol” and likely setting up the social media kerfuffle we currently find ourselves in.
