Independent presidential candidate and potential election spoiler Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s anti-vax campaign is heating up, with his  top-two running-mate picks having been revealed. 
One is former pro wrestler and independent Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura. The other? Fellow anti-vaxxer and QAnon-adjacent NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
Both Rodgers and Kennedy Jr. have basically never met a conspiracy theory they wouldn't immediately glom onto and amplify, and Jesse Ventura has had a show on Russia-backed TV for five years. So it's really hard to know who's the better choice!
But certainly on brand for RFK.
RFK Jr.'s top two VP picks:\n\n\u2022 Anti-vaxxer football player\n\u2022 Russian state-sponsored journalist\n\nIncredible, deeply serious campaign.

Anyway, Kennedy Jr. told The New York Times he's been talking to Rodgers "constantly" in recent weeks. 
He's also been talking to grifting former Democrat-turned-Trumper Tulsi Gabbard, Republican former Senator Rand Paul, and failed presidential candidate Andrew Yang, but they must not have been up to snuff.
The Times reported that a Kennedy-Rodgers website has already been registered and everything. 
It really is the perfect match—both men have had their brains cooked by bizarre conspiracy theories about Covid and vaccines, and Rodgers has given his thumbs-up to everything from QAnon to 9/11 truthers to flat-earth theories and, of course, that perennial favorite, claims that the moon landing was faked. 
Oh—and he thinks the 2010 Sandy Hook shooting in which 20 children and six adults were slaughtered was faked, too. A real prince of a guy! And of course, both gents are right up Vladimir Putin's alley. Neat!
As you might guess, the prospect of an RFK Jr. and Aaron Rodgers ticket did not spark much enthusiasm among many folks online.
