Another person wrote, "I finally read the stupid letter, for one thing cannot believe it is repeating these lies after they were debunked to death and Biden himself walked it back—a revolting propaganda piece. How are these people all this deranged. Jordan Peele?? Shame on your entire existence." And another added:
