MSNBC analyst: Founding Fathers ‘racist, misogynist jerkfaces who didn’t believe women had rights’

(Video: MSNBC)

In the category of wholly unsurprising tirades that misunderstand the Constitution, the law, and history in general, cue Elie Mystal who nailed the standard race-baiting fare of MSNBC’s “The ReidOut” with his Tuesday meltdown slamming the Founders as “racist, misogynist jerkfaces.”

Mystal, author of “Allow Me to Retort: A Black Guy’s Guide to the Constitution” and justice correspondent for The Nation, joined host Joy Reid in lashing out at the leaked SCOTUS opinion of Justice Samuel Alito. If affirmed, the majority opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization would overturn Roe v. Wade and return full authority pertaining to abortion laws to the states for which Mystal called the conclusion, “laughable on its face and wrong.”

After misrepresenting Supreme Court nominee hearings as other outlets had, Reid sought Mystal’s opinion on the language of the draft.

“I’m not a lawyer, but I did read the opinion, the draft opinion, last night. There’s something about it that was quite arrogant in sort of saying, well, the law was always wrongly decided, which we’ve heard people on the right say for decades. I’ve been hearing, you know, this from the religious right since 2004. They’ve been saying it for a long time,” she claimed.

The language made it sound, “as if women just aren’t capable of doing this, that the states need to make these decisions for women,” she added, before presenting Casey, which would also be overturned if the perceived majority opinion holds, as making married women “a ward of the man you marry” for providing husbands with a say on the matter of terminating a pregnancy.

“Alito’s fundamental legal reasoning is that abortion is not a fundamental right because it doesn’t go back to the founding, because the Founding Fathers didn’t recognize abortion as a fundamental right. And he’s right about that,” Mystal contended, thus acknowledging that his forthcoming objection would not be based in fact.

“The Founding Fathers didn’t recognize abortion as a fundamental right because the Founding Fathers were racist, misogynist jerkfaces who didn’t believe that women had any rights at all!” he argued as his meltdown began in earnest. “So, of course, they didn’t believe that women had rights to their own bodies. The Founding Fathers didn’t believe that marital rape was a thing! Couldn’t be a thing, according to the Founding Fathers, according to Sam Alito, so that’s the history that Sam Alito is accessing.”

“Look,” he went on, “either you believe that the Founding Fathers in their infinite wrongness were overcome by the 14th Amendment which guarantees equal protection to all people in this country, or ya don’t. And if ya don’t believe that the 14th Amendment guarantees women rights to their own reproductive systems, just like a man has a right to his own reproductive system, if you don’t believe that, then we are living in a situation where women have second class citizen status.”

“If you do believe that the 14th Amendment worked, then Samuel Alito’s legal reasoning is laughable on its face and wrong,” Mystal concluded.

What he failed to acknowledge was that overturning Roe v. Wade does not ban abortions and the “infinite wrongness” he ascribed to the founders was responsible for the Tenth Amendment, which protects the states’ rights to govern themselves on most all issues, and the varied means by which to ratify new amendments which, if the nation had nearly as much support for abortion as he contests, would allow for a legitimate amendment to enshrine that so-called right rather than requiring a skewed interpretation of the language of the Constitution.

  1. Why feature this obvious nut? To stir stuff up? This racist black freak deserves no coverage at all.

  2. Just two racists, the biggest ones on TV ever. MSDNC should be ashamed for airing their nonsense.
    Seems NBC has turned into a real cesspool, IMO.

  3. What a great person(sarcasm).
    I betting he cashes those American checks!!! Why is this network allowing this? What a shame.

  4. Perhaps this individual should read the letters John Adam’s wrote to Abigail while he was in Congress.

  5. THIS JERK DOESN;T KNOW ANYHTING ABOUT ACTUAL HISTORY!! JOHN ADAMS, BEN FRANKLIN, AND JOHN HANCOCK WERE AGAINST SLAVERY AND DIDN;T EVEN WANT IT IN AMERICA IN THE FIRST PLACE!! AND JOHN ADAMS DEEPLY RESPECTED ABAGAIL ADAMS AND RELIED ON HER FOR ADVICE!!
    AND THEY WEREN;T IN FAVOR OF ABORTION CAUSE ABORTION DIDN;T EXIST BACK THEN!! GO BACK TO SCHOOL!

    1. It doesn’t help to go back to school, when you have a deficient brain to use. It requires paying attention, also.

  6. It’s amazing that an alleged adult cannot distinguish the reproductive system of a man from that of a woman. Or perhaps the left is just that dumb?

  7. The Founders were “jerkfaces” of their time, and very good ones at that. Now we have this Mystal creature, a jerkface of our time, and a supremely bad one at that, in that he refuses to recognize that our jerkface Founders created a system which can be changed and improved. Were that not the case, Jerkface Mystel would probably be an unemployed slave, as he would be unable to either hoe or pick any cotton.

  8. The people who will believe Mystal aren’t going to bother to dotheir own research, They’re just going to take his word for it. Just like the idiots who trashed Florida’s parents’ rights bill by calling it the “Don’t Say Gay”, even though there’s nothing about “gay” in the law. If you’re not going to do some fact-checking of your own, and that means checking the source itself, then maybe you shouldn’t open your gums and invite the ridicule that Mystal rightfully deserves. The old saying “Straight from the horse’s mouth.” doesn’t seem to apply these day.

    1. In Mystal’s case, it’s from the other end of the horse.
      P.S. Is Mystel related to Marc Lamont Hill, who was a frequent guest on Fox News a few years ago? Their talking points are so similar.

  9. I truly believe people should show their college degree in order to get a job and like the democratic judge just appointed to the Supreme court if your not a biologist don’t talk about any health matters and if you are not an historian don’t talk about history. This man is a fool. And knows no history.

  10. Loud mouth Black guy with “WHITE “ hair!
    Another winner at the Nutbush cable outlet.

  11. Women”s rights???? Hypocrites put men in the pool with women. What the hell do these freaks at Mess nbc think that is?

  12. These two racists would only be allowed on MSDNC! No reputable outlet would ever waste airtime with these two! Founding Fathers were real men, who knew hardship, and gave us a country that is the envy of many others. If these two would get their brand of racism out of our faces, just think how much better TV would be. I don’t think I’ve ever watched that disgusting show, only clips other outlets run from time to time. Both of these malcontents could benefit from learning some history.

  13. Before the Founding Fathers established this constitutional republic, no one had any rights – male or female. They were all subjects to a monarchy or living under tribes and warlords. They paved the way for rights for women and minorities, almost all of whom succeed in this, the most free, most diverse, most prosperous, most generous, LEAST racist country on the planet. Ever.

    There is one group, however, with a large contingent of malcontents who refuse to follow the proven path to success and as result, will always be an underclass. Stop whining about the way things were 300 years ago and get to work. Believe me – we want you to succeed, so we can stop supporting you.

  14. She needs to be violated with a broken wine bottle so she’ll really have something to whine about……

  15. Yes and your ancestors that sold your dumb asses to slavers were the same. At least now you have opportunities and you’re biting the hands that feed you. I think I wiped crap off of these boils this morning.

  16. What I don’t hear from the left is: Why aren’t they concerned about the leak out of the highest court in the country? Were they keyed in on what was about to happen, so they all got prepared ahead of time with the riots and protests, MSM, and Demoncrats spewing their prepared statements?

  17. Another big mouth undereducated black oaf spewing dogshit out of both sides of his mouth, MSNBC sure has a knack of finding these waste of oxygen.
