MSNBC Guest Bashes White Voters for Supporting “Disgusting” Vision of America
In an interview on Saturday, MSNBC guest and justice correspondent for The Nation, Elie Mystal, criticized White voters for supporting a “disgusting” version of America. Mystal was discussing President Donald Trump’s first week back in office and his agenda.
“This is the disgusting version of America that people want,” Mystal said. “And, oh by the way, eggs are still more expensive, so you didn’t even get that. Great job, White folks.”
Mystal also accused the media of muddying the waters by trying to explain and defend Trump’s policies. He stated that some issues, such as birthright citizenship and the Civil Rights Act, have already been decided and are not up for debate.
In his first week back in office, Trump has pardoned over 1,500 prisoners charged for crimes related to the January 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol. This has caused consternation among Democrats. Trump’s second term is expected to be a busy one, with major policy initiatives including border security and deportation, increasing domestic energy production, and advancing a new tax plan. Immigration and deportation activities are set to continue, with border czar Tom Homan and acting deputy attorney general Emil Bove traveling to Chicago on Sunday to witness stepped-up enforcement actions.
