Aspiring presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. posted an image on Tuesday night that showed him hiking with New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers weeks after the politician issued an apology to his own family over a Super Bowl commercial a cousin called appalling.

Kennedy and Rodgers share several traits: both are reportedly pariahs in their own families and both are fiercely critical of vaccines and the medical community in general.

“Hiking with @AaronRodgers12 and his amazing Achilles,” wrote Kennedy in the caption of his X post that showed him with Rodgers and three dogs in nature.

The note referenced Rodgers’ Achilles tear sustained in the opening game of the 2023 NFL season.

Less than two weeks ago, Kennedy was ensnared in a public dispute with his own family following a Super Pac advertisement that aired in support of the descendent of political royalty during the Super Bowl on CBS.

The ad superimposed pictures of Robert Kennedy Jr. over images of his deceased uncle, former United States President John F. Kennedy, in an effort to promote a far-fetched White House bid.

“My cousin’s Super Bowl ad used our uncle’s faces – and my Mother’s. She would be appalled by his deadly health care views,” Bobby Shriver, the son of John F. Kennedy’s sister, wrote in response.

“Respect for science, vaccines, & health care equity were in her DNA.”

RFK Jr. then apologized in the subsequent days, writing: “I’m so sorry if the Super Bowl advertisement caused anyone in my family pain.”

Rodgers has been forced to backtrack on plenty of issues as well.

Recently, he put himself in hot water by suggesting that late-night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel was associated with sexual predator Jeffrey Epstein despite having no evidence.

Kimmel threatened to sue Rodgers over the comments. “Your reckless words put my family in danger,” Kimmel wrote on social media. “Keep it up and we will debate the facts further in court.”

Days later, Rodgers appeared on the “Pat McAfee Show” to deny that he had made any problematic insinuations about Kimmel.

“Last week, I said a lot of people, including Jimmy Kimmel, are hoping this doesn’t come out now that it’s resurfaced End quote,” Rodgers said.

“I was referring to the fact that if there is a list, that still hasn’t come out, and that there are names on it, that would be the second time that a soft-brained, junior college, student, whacko, anti-vax, anti-Semite, spreader of misinformation, conspiracy theorist, whatever you want to say, would be right twice.

“I understand how serious an allegation of pedophilia would be, so for him to be upset I get it. But did you watch the quote because that’s exactly what I said? I know you think I’m an idiot … but I’m not stupid enough to accuse you of that with zero evidence.”

While Rodgers hasn’t thrown his official support behind any political candidate, his rhetoric often aligns with that of Kennedy, who similarly espouses medical conspiracy theories. Rodgers stated earlier this year that he didn’t mind if people called him a conspiracy theorist.
