Aaron Rodgers, an ex-quarterback for the Packers, and Offensive lineman David Bakhtiari recently poked of US Senator Dianne Feinstein over unusual stock trades, and now the offensive lineman again brought his name in the headline by involving his name in an issue with President Joe Biden.
David made history by turning into the very first rookie to start every contest at LT for Green Bay since the league switched to a 16-game schedule in 1978 after the Packers picked him in the fourth round, 109th overall, of the 2013 NFL Draft.
Bakhtiari upgraded his athleticism significantly after his rookie year and kept fighting for the left tackle spot, consequently, he ended up being one of just two offensive tackles in Green Bay team history to receive AP All-Pro recognition in five or more consecutive seasons.
Why did the Packers’ offensive lineman poke President Biden?
Two images of Biden’s speech script from a Mother’s Day speech were posted by Bakhtiari on his Twitter page. One of the images appears to show Biden holding a sheet with the name and publication of a reporter and another image depicts the President receiving the “sequence of events” in crib notes from a “offshore wind drop-by.”
“Can we have authentic and real NON-SCRIPTED interviews?? I understand and agree with prepping someone (like studying for a test) but this is a bit too far. It’s just one big play,” he said by sharing the photos.

Making a comment about the President is not a simple task, so the OL received criticism from many Biden supporters and he also immediately responded to one of them.
“Again. Let me state this: I know both sides do this,” he added. “This isn’t about sides. Neither should. And if they need this to ‘not look like a dumba**..’ then maybe, just maybe, we should raise the qualification bar.”
Earlier than this, the 31-year-old made fun of Feinstein following a Twitter thread featuring unusual whales analyzed Feinstein’s trades over the previous decade or so and claimed that they contributed to her purported $200 million net worth. Following his tweet, his former teammate stood by himself and shared his post in support of him.
Finally, Dave. #thisgifisyou # https://t.co/ze8XdHNe58 pic.twitter.com/H2NgS4pCBN

DB typically receives the best edge-rusher assignment, and he also performs at his All-Pro level as a pass-protector. However, the Packers star is also active out of the field and always speaks plainly and without hesitation about any subject that bothers him, regardless of how well-known the person on the other side.
