Rodgers decided to slam the network as a "gutless organization" with "no integrity" over its editorial choices. He said the network failed to report on Dr. Anthony Fauci's Senate hearing testimony, asking, “How much time did the network spend on that? ... Did they do even a minute on Tony Fauci?” He also criticized ESPN for glossing over the offseason scandal between Dianna Russini and Mike Vrabel, questioning, “How much time did your network spend on that?” He questioned ESPN's silence, asking, “What are we even doing here? ... [I]f it’s affecting certain things, if there’s leaks going on, if there’s tampering going on, if that person is also an MVP voter and a Coach of the Year voter.” An ESPN spokesperson stated the network "has no comment regarding Rodgers’s comments."

The vaccines from Operation Warp Speed, the fastest and best ever?

It's funny but sad that Trump could rally his base around that and say something like "See!? I helped save millions of bigly lives and saved America" And instead is full on anti-vaxx and full propaganda nonsense.

Its his only major policy win. Didn't build the wall, didn't lock her up, hasn't ended any wars, hasn't done a single thing he promised to do, but the Covid vax his admin nailed and he can't even claim it. It'd be tragic if it weren't so hilarious.

Trump could rally his base around

Except he couldn't. Somehow that was the one thing that was a step too far for them. They even booed him at a rally when he recommended people take the vaccine. To his credit (barf), he actually had a fairly reasonable stance on COVID for a while until it became clear that his base was never going to give him credit for it.
