NFL star Aaron Rodgers praised Russian President Vladimir Putin as an “interesting, smart individual” and railed against Covid-19 vaccines, in a new interview with former Fox News host Tucker Carlson released Tuesday.
The New York Jets star and Super Bowl-winning quarterback said Carlson’s interview with the Russian leader in February, Putin’s first interview with any Western media since his forces invaded Ukraine in 2022, was “awesome.”
“Putin came off as an interesting, thoughtful, smart individual. And if you’ve read ‘1984,’ the base game plan of government control is you have to have an enemy, and you have to slander that enemy regardless if you know anything about them,” Rodgers said.
He went on to favorably compare Putin to President Joe Biden:
“I think a lot of people are like, ‘Oh, Putin apologists are like, whitewashing all the stuff that he’s done to the different people.’ I was just like, no, I’d love to I’d love to see Joe Biden give an interview where he can speak on the history of the United States in the same way that Putin talked about the history of his country.”
Carlson began producing his own content, which he uploads to YouTube and X, after he left Fox a year ago.
