MSNBC host Joy Reid and columnist Leonard Pitts discussed the"cult-like" religiosity of President Donald Trump's supporters, saying that at least former Republican President George W. Bush had a"soul."
Reid said it's not pejorative to call Trump supporters a"cult" because there's plenty of evidence it is a"racial and religious cult of personality in which his base is solidly among the white evangelicals that almost worship him and say that he's the chosen one of God." "In other words if you see him being wrong, it's not him being wrong, it's him being so right that it's beyond your puny ability to understand," he noted with nervous laughter.
"[Bush] began to wake up toward the end of his presidency, he knew he'd been led off the cliff. He was a fundamentally decent guy...at the very least there was a soul, a heart there," Reid said."There at least seemed to be something human inside of him."
