Fauci Lawyer Tells Aaron Rodgers to Stick to Football After 111 Fifth Amendment Invocations

Summary
David Schertler, Anthony Fauci’s lawyer, told The Athletic that Aaron Rodgers “doesn’t know what he’s talking about” and “should stick to football.”
The rebuke followed Rodgers’s attacks on The Pat McAfee Show after Fauci invoked the Fifth Amendment 111 times in a Senate hearing on his COVID-19 response, diary and alleged Wuhan research links.
Rodgers called Fauci a “coward,” said he was shielded by a pardon, and repeated the claim that COVID-19 came from a lab in China.
The Pittsburgh Steelers did not distance themselves from Rodgers, saying players are entitled to personal views and that opinions inside the locker room will vary.
The clash extends a broader backlash to Fauci’s July 29 testimony before Sen. Rand Paul’s committee, where his refusal to answer fueled political and media attacks.
