Former White House chief medical adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci has hit back at Aaron Rodgers after the quarterback launched a scathing verbal assault on him on-air.
Rodgers, who has long been a vaccine skeptic and was extremely outspoken about the Covid-19 pandemic, didn't hold back as he eviscerated Fauci in the wake of his decision to continuously plead the fifth amendment in a hostile senate hearing.
Appearing on ESPN on Monday, Rodgers attacked Fauci in a 13-minute monologue, labeling the 85-year-old an 'absolute criminal' and an 'absolute coward'.
On Tuesday, Fauci’s attorney, David Schertler, responded to Rodgers delivering a swift shutdown to the veteran quarterback's comments.
'Aaron Rodgers doesn't know what he's talking about,' Schertler told The Athletic on Fauci's behalf. 'He should stick to football.'
The public spat erupted after Fauci invoked his constitutional protection against self-incrimination over 100 times during intense questioning from lawmakers.
Days later, Rodgers appeared on ESPN and gave a scathing assessment on Fauci.
As he arrived on set, Rodgers appeared to ask how long the broadcast had left on ESPN, with McAfee responding that they had 'a hard out' after just eight minutes.
That, seemingly, was all the fuel Rodgers needed as he answered a football-related question by claiming 'I'm going to plead the fifth... like that absolute coward Tony Fauci.'

Wicked Fauci is brave enough to destroy the human genome for Satan. Would not call him a coward when his master calls.
Or when he and Yuval Noah Harari and those like them want to sit in the Temple of God (believers Bodies) showing himself that they are ‘gods’.
Yeah, quite a scathing “retort.” 🙄
Shutdown?
“On Tuesday, Fauci’s attorney, David Schertler, responded to Rodgers”
So the title isn’t true? Fauci did NOT respond? Cat’s still got his tongue, apparently.
Meow.
Actually it’s STILL not Fauxci speaking but his lawyer speaking for him.
He took the 5th so many times it’s as though he knew he’d be paid for taking each one.
Coward Fauci had his lawyer respond
Proves Rogers point.
Exactly.
And The Daily Mail should plead “retard”.
After the scorn directed at Rodgers for refusing the COVID vaccine, he shouldn’t be blamed for an “I told you so” moment.
Aand Aaron Rodgers did not have a meltdown. He was laughing.
I found out my dentist’s office is full of Fauci groupies. Eyes glazed over when I made comments about the 111 Fifths. Not one person agreed with me. They all make excuses for this stinking piece of garbage. The medical community in the U.S. is full of sickness.
WHO is paying for all of Fraudci’s HIGH POWERED ATTORNEYS???
“Aaron Rodgers doesn’t know what he’s talking about,’ Schertler told The Athletic on Fauci’s behalf. ‘He should stick to football.’
…yeah that’s tellin him. 😂
At this point , don’t know whether blid, willingly blind, a little guilt for being taken for a ride or a lot of guilt for being full participants in the persecution. cheeing on every authoritarian move, even what if that clot I had was shot related?
“a vaccine skeptic”
I’m an Anthony Fauci skeptic myself.
'Aaron Rodgers doesn't know what he's talking about,' Schertler told The Athletic on Fauci's behalf. 'He should stick to football.'
Thereby proving Rodger's point; Fauci called his attorney and made him defend him from the internet bully's mean words.
So do the Pelosi's.
‘vaccine sceptic’! Oh NO! Thanks daily flail. Some folks just recognize cow dung when they see it. Not necessarily a sceptic. Was the EUA ever removed from the vials?
Well so much for letting the science speak for itself.
Fauci is hiding behind his mouthpiece like a mafioso.
