Nation justice correspondent Elie Mystal is a legal analyst for MSNBC, and on Saturday, host Tiffany Cross played him an excerpt of an interview Donald Trump did with Hugh Hewitt in which he said he foresaw “big problems” if he were criminally indicted. That was all Trump said, but Cross and Mystal knew what he was talking about, but getting violent when they don’t get what they want is what conservative white folks do.
Elie Mystal TORCHES Trump and Conservative White Folks: 'Turn Violent When They Don't Get Their Way – It's What They Do!' https://t.co/IfQTzK2hTp
— Mediaite (@Mediaite) September 17, 2022
Mediaite reports Mystal as saying:
The cause of the problem, of course, is Trump himself and his MAGA acolytes themselves and the people who are willing to do the violence in Trump’s name. Again, I’m not, I guess I want to say that I’m not surprised that he’s threatening this because A. He’s literally done it before. And B. This is literally what conservative white folks do when they don’t get their way. They turn violent. As a Black man in this country, as a person who was always aware of the Black history in the new world, white people turn violent when they don’t politically get their way all the damn time in this country. It’s what they do. And so from the perspective of a Black person, I’m kind of like, welcome to the world that I’ve been living in America.
In this guy’s mind, America is still “the new world.”
Imagine this guy—a man who was almost certainly watching the countless Mike Brown and George Floyd riots with a fat bowl of buttered popcorn in his lap—being able to say this with a straight face.
That is some self-control right there.

He knows his entire bubble and most of the media will nod their heads in agreement. He never has to be challenged

Wouldn't he have to make sense or be truthful in some way to qualify as torching. At this point I feel embarrassment for people who are unaware that the overwhelming majority of political violence originates on the left

Then there are others who don’t “turn violent” when they don’t get their way because violence is their default state.

Liberals do like to torch things after all.

This isn't torching, this is just projection. See pregnancy centers being burned down, the 2020 riots.

I was told rioting is the language of the unheard.

What violence? Burimg down police stations? Firebombing crisis pregnancy centers? Looting stores?

Was only a matter of time before the party that denies biological, scientific, and economic reality would start denying actual reality.

This is classic confession through projection.

That’s a nice juxtaposition of the “Black Lives Matter” and “Kill Cops” signs.
Complete inversion of reality. How do you people publish this stuff with a straight face?
— North Wind (@hyperboreandoom) September 17, 2022
Two absolute ignorant, immature and far left racist people on liberal television.
They are So pathetic and fake.

We all know that the January 6 Capitol riots overshadow an entire summer of riots and arson across the United States.
