Rogers, who was considering Kennedy's offer to be his running mate in the 2024 presidential election, watched the hearing on “The Pat McAfee Show” to “see who was trying to deceive Kennedy.” He said he wanted to.
“Please, someone go after him and watch him thoroughly mop the floor with the senators,” Rogers said. “Senators, come all set and see if you can take my boy, Bobby, with you, because Bobby is very smart, dude. I can't handle the memo of 'Well, I'm so excited that he's going to be that, and honestly everyone should be too.'
Mr. Rogers mentioned President Kennedy's efforts to “make America healthy again.” The movement appears to have been sparked this week by the FDA's ban on red food coloring due to its potential cancer risks.

“If you spend a minute looking at the ingredients of a product in the United States compared to, say, overseas, it's disgusting,” the star quarterback said. “What they're allowing here, the levels they're allowing here, products that are terrible for you, products that they know are carcinogenic, are disgusting. So if you just allow him… Stop, stop labeling him like they want to label him these days.
“He just wants to make sure that everything that's given to our children is safe, that everything that we consume on a daily basis is safe, and that he's not going to 'make America healthy again.' Or try to die and see if you're trying to cause something abnormal.”
