THE LEFT, LADIES & GENTLEMEN: 'Why Should I Give a **** About Some Law That Some Old White Man Passed in the 1920s?' [WATCH]

Far-left lunatic Elie Mystal, a regular MSDNC guest and justice correspondent for The Nation, claimed Tuesday that nearly all laws passed before 1965 should be considered “presumptively unconstitutional.”

Speaking on ABC’s The View while promoting his new book, Bad Law: Ten Popular Laws That Are Ruining America, Mystal argued that any law enacted before the 1965 Voting Rights Act should be discarded, stating, “we were an apartheid country” until then.

“One of the laws you write about is playing out right now — the Immigration and Nationality Act,” cohost Sunny Hostin said. “Now, this administration is using this statute to justify the detentions and possible deportations, actually, of visa and Green-Card holders who they seek to deem a threat to U.S. foreign policy. What do you make of the administration’s use of the act, and, more broadly, is Trump really setting up a First Amendment showdown, which is what Whoopi’s been talking about?”

“Yes, absolutely,” Mystal declared. “One of my premises for the book is that every law passed before the 1965 Voting Rights Act should be presumptively unconstitutional, right? Because before the 1965 Voting Rights Act, we were functionally an apartheid country. Not everybody who lived her could vote here.”

“So why should I give a **** about some law that some old white man passed in the 1920s?” he asked.

Watch the clip below:

Mystal followed up his appearance on “The View” with a racially-charged post on X claiming that his book “seems to have pissed off the white wing so, as usual, I’m doing something right.”
