Maddow “disciple”?

He wrote ONE letter to the Bellville News Democrat, his local town newspaper, ONE time expressing Rachel’s show was one of his “favorite shows on TV”. That singular letter came five years before he went on his insane shooting rampage.

Just curious, what, in your definition, evidences someone as being a “disciple” of a media host?

Then, for clarification, are you using that term as a pejorative against Rachel Maddow?
