Elie Mystal Begs for Sanctions on America

You’d think the far Left would run out of America-hating pundits eventually, but no. Elie Mystal, The Nation’s justice correspondent and a frequent cable news guest, now wants other countries to sanction the United States. His call for sanctions on America is just the latest proof that, in his warped mind, we are the bad guys.

A Privileged Pundit Demands Sanctions on America

Leave it to Elie Mystal to play the world’s most privileged martyr while sitting safely inside the same menace nation he wants everyone else to punish. He loves the money, the platform, the comfort, but hates the country that gave it to him.

“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.” – Daily Wire

At some point, this smug self-flagellation stops being critical thinking and reveals itself for what it really is: entitled, ungrateful garbage from a man who has never had to live under the brutal regimes he makes excuses for. Instead of working to fix our flaws, he wants foreign tyrants to hammer working families who keep this country running.

Mystal talks like America is the neighborhood bully, ignoring that the only reason half these countries even have the freedom to toss around sanctions is because America exists. This country is far from perfect. Is America spotless? Hardly. But even at our worst, we’re not throwing dissidents off rooftops or stringing gay teenagers up on cranes. We’re not cutting checks for terrorists who blow up school buses either.

Elie Mystal, “We are the bad guy on the world stage.” And you thought it couldn’t get any worse from these people.

If you think Elie Mystal ranting about sanctions was out there, just watch this. Dean Obeidallah looks thrilled to hand him a microphone so he can dream up a “shadow government” for America. These two are so wrapped up in their own self-importance, they’ll say the quiet part out loud. They want a parallel power structure to restrain the same country that gives them the freedom to rant for profit.

If Elie Mystal truly believes America deserves to be crushed, he can go first. Cancel the contracts, give up the book deals, and walk away from his cushy TV gigs. Let him try his luck in Tehran or Pyongyang. They might applaud his anti-American routine right up until he opens his mouth about them.

The rest of us are done with his moral lectures. We will stand up for the country that makes his entire soapbox possible in the first place.

The Left’s Favorite Hobby

This is the same tired poison they have served for years, just dressed up in a fresh coat of arrogance. To them, America is always the villain. The terrorists? Just misunderstood. Our freedoms? Not worth defending. Our soldiers? Convenient collateral damage in the left’s pity party for regimes that actually kill people for disagreeing.

So let Elie Mystal rant about sanctions while he lounges in the freedom only this so-called bad guy nation provides. We will keep working, raising our families, and defending what makes this country worth fighting for, no matter how eagerly these America-last pundits beg the rest of the world to punish us. If they hate it so much, they are free to prove it. Pack a bag and try their routine under a real dictatorship.

And Elie Mystal isn’t alone. While he calls for the world to sanction the very country that makes his lifestyle possible, his fellow travelers on the Left are busy demonizing the people who protect our borders. Just look at Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal, who went so far as to call ICE a terrorist force, then doubled down when she was called out.

It’s all part of the same twisted crusade. They will stand shoulder to shoulder with America’s enemies, smear the people who defend us, and cheer for punishment — as long as they never have to feel it themselves.

They hate this country. We protect it. That’s the difference, and that’s why they’ll never win.
