MSNBC guest calls the Founding Fathers ‘racist jerk faces’ who didn’t believe in women’s rights

Left-wing legal analyst and frequent MSNBC guest Elie Mystal attacked the Founding Fathers during his rant about the Supreme Court on Tuesday’s “The ReidOut.”

The segment included a panel bashing the leaked draft opinion by Justice Samuel Alito, which described overturning the landmark 1973 abortion case Roe v. Wade. While most criticized Alito and other conservative justices for their potential rulings, Mystal attacked the U.S. Constitution itself, calling the Founding Fathers “racist misogynist jerk faces.”

“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. The Founding Fathers didn’t recognize abortion as a fundamental right because the Founding Fathers were racist misogynist jerk faces who didn’t believe that women had any rights at all. So, of course, they didn’t believe that women had rights to their own bodies,” Mystal said. “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.”

Mystal also attacked Sens. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, and Susan Collins, R-Maine, for voting to confirm some of former President Trump’s Supreme Court nominees, who many suspect will vote in favor of overturning Roe v. Wade.- READ MORE
