Aaron Rodgers' run as a potential vice president candidate lasted about three days, but what a three days it was.
On Tuesday, the New York Jets quarterback was reported to be on the short list to be the running mate of conspiracy theory-driven fringe candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., with confirmation from the candidate himself.
On Wednesday, Rodgers was reported to have told two people, including a CNN reporter, that he believed the Sandy Hook shooting to be a "government inside job." On Thursday, he posted a curiously worded tweet saying the massacre was "an absolute tragedy."

Mediaite finally reported Saturday that Kennedy plans to announce Nicole Shanahan, a California-based attorney and entrepreneur, as his running mate with an announcement planned for March 26 in Oakland. The outlet confirmed Rodgers to be out of the running, with a claim that the prospect of his selection "prompted concerns among donors to the campaign."

Shanahan was married to Google founder Sergey Brin. They recently divorced amid the cloud of a rumored fling with Elon Musk.
