Far left political commentator Elie Mystal thinks “we are the bad guys” and is calling for other nations to impose sanctions on the United States.
Mystal delivered his rant during a discussion with fellow leftist and former MSNBC host Joy Reid, declaring the U.S. “needs to be sanctioned” after President Donald Trump’s decision to bomb Iran’s nuclear sites last month.
“Joy, I’ve argued — and 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 justice correspondent at The Nation said on The Joy Reid Show.

“And I’m not even gonna say that we’ve only been a menace for the past three or four months, right?” he continued, painting the U.S. as a villain on the world stage.
“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 are rich. But at some point, the international community has to stand up to us because we are a bad guy on the world stage, right?” the far-left commentator said.
“And so we should be sanctioned. We should be sectioned and rebuked,” Mystal emphasized.
Reid, who often provided the screeching leftist a platform on her canceled MSNBC show, did not disagree, offering no pushback to his claims. Reid previously gave her nod of approval to Mystal’s attack on Trump supporters as “despicable” people.
“I mean, everything he [Trump] does is despicable,” Mystal said last year on “The ReidOut” just before Trump’s election victory.
“The reason why it doesn’t end his career is because his supporters are just as despicable,” he added, to which Reid replied, “Yeah, and they also — he hates the people they hate.”
Mystal’s latest diatribe against Trump and America was met with heated criticism on social media.
Treason.

Saying America is the bad guy on the world stage is not only false, it’s disgraceful. No country gives more in humanitarian aid, defends more global freedoms, or offers more opportunity. Perfect? No. But the world is far more stable with America leading than without.

Somebody needs to sanction his hair and his insanity.
