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’.

"I'm gonna plead the 5th. Like that absolute coward Tony Fauci. Absolute coward. Are you kidding me? What are you scared of Tony? I thought you were science?"
