Elie Mystal: ‘White People Turn Violent When They Don’t Politically Get Their Way All the Damn Time in This Country’

‘It’s what they do’
By Grabien Staff

RUSH EXCERPT:

MYSTAL: “Listen to that clip again. Hugh Hewitt made himself sound like Billy Bush in that clip. What kind of problems, mister president? He is threatening to unleash domestic terrorism on the country if he is held accountable for crime and you, immediate person, is sitting there saying, what kind of problems might we have? What is that? At some point, the fourth estate is going to have to realize that it is complicit in allowing these white domestic terrorists to organize and attain some level of legitimacy as they threaten our democracy. I want to table that because that is a huge part of the problem. The cause of the problem of course is Trump himself and his mega acolytes themselves, and the people who are willing to do the violence in Trump’s name. Again, I want to say that I’m not surprised that he is threatening this because a, he is literally doing it before. And the, this is literally what conservative white folks do when they don’t get their way. They turned violent. As a black man in this country, as a person who is aware of the black history in the new world’s. White people turn violent when they don't politically get their way all the damn time in this country. It is what they do.”
