New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers said Thursday that he believes “what happened in Sandy Hook was an absolute tragedy” and that he did not believe that the “events did not take place.”

Rodgers made the statement to social media a day after a report from CNN detailing two accounts from people who said they heard Rodgers tell them that the Newtown, Conn., school shooting was a conspiracy and involved crisis actors.

As I’m on the record saying in the past, what happened in Sandy Hook was an absolute tragedy. I am not and have never been of the opinion that the events did not take place.
