NY Jets QB Aaron Rodgers had some thoughts about political celebrity endorsements during the election.
Ahead of the election, several celebrities came to endorse their preferred Presidential candidate.
LeBron went viral when he officially endorsed Kamala Harris while bashing Trump.
“What are we even talking about here?? When I think about my kids and my family and how they will grow up, the choice is clear to me. VOTE KAMALA HARRIS!!!”

While appearing on the Pat McAfee show, Rodgers appeared to take a shot at LeBron while mocking paid political celebrity endorsements.
“My favorite is when the celebrity is bought and paid for by China” Rodgers told McAfee at the end of his weekly appearance on Wednesday.
Aaron Rodgers makes fun of presidential celebrity endorsements & seemingly throws shade at LeBron James by saying, “My favorite is when the celebrity is bought and paid for by China” 😮

Rodgers is apparently referencing LeBron refusing to condemn China during the NBA/ Hong Kong controversy in 2020.
After Kamala lost the election LeBron posted a heartfelt message on social media talking about his daughter Zhuri.
“HEAVY ON MY HEART & MIND THIS AM MY PRINCESS 👸🏾!! PROMISE TO PROTECT YOU WITH EVERYTHING I HAVE AND MORE!! WE DONT NEED THEIR HELP!”
It is worth noting that Rodgers considered running for Vice President on Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s ticket but ultimately decided against it.
