'Just a reminder: If you believe in God or the Bible, [Todd] thinks you are a gullible, fairy-tale-believing sap,' actor Nick Searcy tweeted.
MSNBC's Chuck Todd faced backlash on social media on Sunday for highlighting a letter to the editor that said religious people who believe in"fairy tales" such as Noah's Ark, want to be lied to and support President Donald Trump.
"[Why] do good people support Trump? It's because people have been trained from childhood to believe in fairy tales," the letter read."This set their minds up to accept things that make them feel good... The more fairy tales and lies he tells the better they feel... Show me a person who believes in Noah's ark and I will show you a Trump voter."
"I'm not quite sure I buy that," Baquet said."Politicians historically have lied to people. I don't want to keep flogging Mary's terrific Afghanistan story but that was about a generation of political leaders who lied in the most egregious way, which was to say a war that was failing and leading to American deaths was actually succeeding. I'm not convinced that people want to be lied to.
Baquet and Baron were not the only people who disagreed with the letter's contents. Following the segment, conservative writers and Trump supporters took to Twitter to condemn Todd for touting Bowles' theories.
