‘Just because we don’t like something sometimes doesn’t mean we get to dismiss it as completely false,’ Smith told his audience.
Sports analyst and podcast host Stephen A. Smith this week came to the defense of NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who is under attack by the establishment for comments he made in a recent interview with Tucker Carlson.
Rodgers exposed government and media lies surrounding the efficacy and safety of Covid “vaccines” during the podcast discussion.
Possibly signaling a change in public sentiment about the Covid shots harming people, Smith suggested society stop labeling Rodgers a “stupid” conspiracy theorist for questioning the rushed jabs.
Smith noted he took the Covid jab and even encouraged others to do so before admitting people who were skeptical of the shot had valid reasons.
The popular sports anchor said people like Rodgers and Carlson “are entitled” to their opinions just like folks such as Chris Cuomo are entitled to change their minds when new information is brought to light.
Smith said, “Whether you agree with him or disagree with him, Aaron Rodgers is not stupid. He’s not senseless. He’s not the insensitive dude that people have excoriated him as being. And, at least some of what he says, if not a lot more than some of it, gets attached with enough legitimacy to it that it will make you at least say it’s something we need to discuss. We can no longer sit here and act like every word that comes out of Aaron Rodgers’ mouth makes no sense and he’s completely stupid. The man ain’t stupid.”
“Just because we don’t like something sometimes doesn’t mean we get to dismiss it as completely false. I don’t know. I don’t know the answer to these questions. But neither do a lot of people who think differently than Aaron Rodgers. So, if we don’t know, who are we to say he doesn’t know? It’s worth listening to. That’s all I’m saying,” he added.
After years of toxic censorship and slandering of anyone questioning establishment narratives during and following the COVID-19 pandemic, it seems as if the nation is ready to have real conversations about issues that affect everyone.
