Elie Mystal, a legal analyst for MSNBC and justice correspondent for The Nation, said Friday on “All In” that all the highest standards should be applied during the legal proceedings of former President Donald Trump and his co-conspirators because they will “most likely” be convicted. Anchor Chris Hayes said, “It is actually important that this is being done. I do think that we all share this thing of wanting it to be at the most rigorous level of due process. This should be all the dotted I and crossed T’s. I think so far, if you look at Fani Willis...

During Friday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “The ReidOut,” The Nation justice correspondent Elie Mystal took a couple of shots at Supreme Court Associate Justice Clarence Thomas. Mystal called Thomas a “mutilated version of a black justice,” adding that he was acting at the behest of his wife, Ginni Thomas. “In Clarence Thomas’s concurrence in the affirmative action decision, first of all, he cites Plessy a lot,” host Joy Reid said. “I thought Plessy was like verboten like nobody wants to talk about Plessy v. Ferguson. He sure does. And at one point, make this make sense for me, please. You’re a...

The Nation’s Elie Mystal Friday MSNBC’s “All In” that Georgia Republican Senate nominee Herschel Walker was a “minstrel” playing a black version of Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL). While discussing a report Walker allegedly paid for a woman’s abortion, which Walker denied, Mystal said, “The interrogation, really, isn’t about Walker, who is a minstrel who has been sent here to play black Tommy Tuberville.

The Nation’s Elie Mystal Sunday MSNBC’s “The Mehdi Hasan Show” that only “monsters” would support Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) moving migrants to Martha’s Vineyard. Mystal said, “They never do this to white people. We all know it. The fact that these people are nonwhite is baked into the system.

Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), Susan Collins (R-ME) and Mitt Romney (R-UT) were “pro-pedophile,” anchor Joy Reid said, “These terms, indoctrination, grooming, predator, accusing innocent people of being pedophiles to or being soft on pedophiles, it’s all a very specific trigger for a group that is sinking its teeth into our political discourse. Folks like Marjorie Taylor Greene know that. There’s a reason...

The Nation’s justice correspondent Elie Mystal said Friday on the”We’ve Got Issues” podcast that the United States Constitution is “trash” written by the “captains of the slaving industry.” The discussion about the Constitution starts at the 25:28 timestamp. Discussing Mystal’s new book “Allow Me to Retort: A Black Guy’s Guide to the Constitution,” host Joshua Holland said, “You write that the Constitution is a document designed to create a society of enduring white male dominance.

I’m out of my mind about...

Addressing host Joy Reid, Mystal said, “Joy, this country hates us. This country hates black people, and we know it. We talk about it. We joke about it. We know what we’re up against. But sometimes that hatred that this country has for us really comes out and just takes your breath away, just grabs you by the neck and takes your...

MSNBC commentator Elie Mystal is pretty proud of how much he hates the President, and apparently anyone who lives in one of his properties. So much so, that he boasted on Twitter that he fantasizes driving his car into Trump condominium lobby.
