Several critics from both sides of the argument flooded the comments on the X thread, with many calling out both podcasters for “embarrassing themselves.”
Author and YouTube personality Hank Green replied to Favreau’s comment, “I have heard a lot of people say we need to stay out of this kind of non-constructive conflict, and I feel like one of those people is you.”
Another user targeted Herndon and commented: “It’s time to move on. Look, I’m not a fan of the interview either, but pretending you have some moral superiority here as a *political journalist* is wild lol. Your job is to comment on things without any stake in the result — if it is Sims for him, it is fantasy football for you!”
A third person wrote: “All these political podcasters are so out of touch with the rest of the country. Explore outside of your elitist bubble. I beg of you!”
