The left wants you to hate the country.
Regular MSNBC contributor Elie Mystal took to the airwaves this week, calling on foreign nations to sanction his own country, declaring America “the bad guys on the world stage”— all because our military neutralized a threat posed by Iran’s nuclear ambitions.
Appearing alongside failed MSNBC host “Joyless” Joy Reid on her podcast, Mystal, who holds the title of justice correspondent at The Nation, left little doubt where his sympathies lie. Both seemed all too ready to side with Tehran, perhaps forgetting Iran remains the globe’s leading exporter of terror.
“Joy, I’ve argued — and I don’t say this lightly — but our country needs to be sanctioned,” Mystal declared. “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.”
“And I’m not even gonna 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?” Mystal continued. “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? And so we should be sanctioned. We should be sanctioned and rebuked.”

Mystal also made headlines with his recent article suggesting Democrats should become the pro-pornography party.
