MSNBC Contributor Calls For US To Be Sanctioned In Crazed Rant: ‘We Are The Bad Guys’

During a recent appearance on former MSNBC host Joy Reid’s podcast, network contributor Elie Mystal erupted into a bizarre tirade in which he called for the international community to place sanctions on the United States for enforcing basic immigration law.

The far-left pundit and author joined Reid’s show to discuss Florida’s establishment of an illegal alien detention facility in the Everglades dubbed “Alligator Alcatraz.” President Donald Trump and senior administration officials toured the facility, which sits on a defunct airstrip surrounded by thousands of alligators, crocodiles and venomous snakes, on Tuesday.

In an unhinged tirade, Reid falsely claimed that both the Florida state government and the Trump Administration had built a facility to “round up brown people” in the Sunshine State, failing to note that only illegal aliens will be housed at the facility while awaiting deportation.

“He took the comfy couch hosts on a tour of the concentration camp that he’s building in Florida in order to round up people—brown people—and throw them in a camp because he doesn’t want them in Florida,” Reid ranted. “Anybody who is perceived or looks Latino is afraid to go to work.”

Mystal later joined the program and continued with the baseless hysteria by calling on the international community to levy sanctions against the United States. “I don’t say this lightly, but our country needs to be sanctioned. We are the bad guys on the world stage. We are a menace to not only free people everywhere, but we are a menace to peaceful people everywhere at this point,” the far-left pundit fumed.

“And I’m not even going to say that we’ve only been a menace for the past three or four months, right? Like, when does the international community decide that enough is enough? I know we’re rich. I know we’ve got a lot of money. I know that people want to buy things from our country because we’re rich, or want to sell things to our country because we’re rich,” he continued.

“But at some point, the international community has to stand up to us because we are a bad guy on the world stage, right? And so we should be sanctioned. We should be sanctioned and rebuked.”

Elie Mystal is no stranger to voicing his disdain for the United States, its history and the American people.

In his recent book titled, “Bad Law: Ten Popular Laws That Are Ruining America,” Mystal argued that all laws passed prior to the Civil Rights Act of 1965 need to be repealed and replaced. This, he claimed, is necessary because the U.S. is steeped in “white supremacy” and “racism.” Therefore, all laws passed prior to 1965, including those that influence immigration and citizenship, should be deemed “unconstitutional,” according to Mystal.

During a recent appearance on “The View” to promote the book, the MSNBC contributor stated that the left needs to “smash” everything that actual Americans value, arguing such laws are “holding this country back.”

“One of my premises for the book is that every law passed before the 1965 Voting Rights Act should be presumptively unconstitutional. Because before the 1965 Voting Rights Act, we were functionally an apartheid country,” Mystal ranted. “Not everybody who lived here, could vote here. So, why should I give a [expletive] about some law that some old white man passed in 1920s like, the Immigration and Nationality Act?”
