FireChuckTodd trends after MSNBC anchor quotes article comparing Bernie Sanders supporters to brownshirts
The hashtag #FireChuckTodd was trending on Twitter overnight as the MSNBC anchor faced a social media backlash for quoting a column that described Bernie Sanders supporters as a"digital brownshirt brigade."
Hosting a panel discussion on MSNBC yesterday, Todd said:"I want to bring up something that Jonathan Last put in the Bulwark today, and it was about how—and Ruth we've all been on the receiving end of the Bernie online brigade. "'What if we now live in a world where having a bullying, agro social media army running around popping anyone who sticks their head up is either an important ingredient for, or a critical marker of, success?'"
Senator Sanders' national press secretary Briahna Gray also weighed in against Todd's remarks, saying he had shown"contempt" for ordinary people.
