...are "actors"..

Aaron Rodgers allegedly said Sandy Hook kids are "actors"...

But now says 'Sandy Hook was an absolute tragedy' in wake of report he believed in conspiracy theory

New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers said Thursday that he believes “what happened in Sandy Hook was an absolute tragedy” and that he did not believe that the “events did not take place.”

Rodgers made the statement on social media a day after a report from CNN detailing two accounts from people who said they heard Rodgers tell them that the Newtown, Connecticut, school shooting was a conspiracy that was staged by the government.

One of the accounts was from the CNN reporter who co-wrote the story and another was relayed from someone else who had a similar conversation with Rodgers. In the telling of her account, the quarterback stated that the event took place, but that it took place as part of an inside government job.

The CNN report emerged after a New York Times report that said Rodgers had been in communication with third-party presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. about being Kennedy's running mate. Kennedy is known for his anti-vaccination stances and his sharing of conspiracy theories. He has announced that he'll pick a running mate on March 26.

The conspiracy theory about the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting is especially harmful and dangerous. Families of the 26 victims in the 2012 shooting won judgments totaling nearly $1.5 billion against infamous conspiracy theorist Alex Jones after Jones spoke numerous times about how the 20 children killed in the shooting were “crisis actors” and that the shooting never happened. Families of the children detailed how Jones’ supporters had harassed them because of his theories and baseless statements about the shooting.

Jones' theories are very similar to the sentiments that Rodgers reportedly shared with the reporter and other unnamed person mentioned in the story. The Dec. 14, 2012, shooting took place when a 20-year-old man went into the school and started shooting after he killed his mother and drove her car to the school.
