During his interview with McAfee, Rodgers blasted the “woke mob”, talked about all the vaccine research that he’s done, revealed that he consulted Joe Rogan on Covid treatments, and quoted Martin Luther King Jr. while defending his decision to not to wear a mask at team facilities.

Immediately after the interview concluded people started tagging State Farm and called on the insurance company to drop Rodgers as their spokesman.
@StateFarm in all seriousness, if this person is your spokesperson beyond today, i will really have to question the values that your company claims to hold. because this is despicable, atrocious, and needs to be held to account. https://t.co/jFb75jyoUl

Guess now we know the #rodgersrate means lying and deceit. Wonder if the insurance coverage is also based on Aaron Rodgers flawed "research"?
Please clarify @StateFarm

Any company that has Aaron Rodgers in a commercial as of today is owning all the hardcore anti-vaxx bullshit, and people should tell them that @StateFarm @adidas @bose @Prevea @pizzahut @IZOD

Hey @StateFarm isn't Rodgers in your ads? Not a good look and I'm a Packer Fan but this is just plain stupid.
