The Constitution Is ‘Kind of Trash,’ Reporter Says (VIDEO)
The Constitution, which was written by “slavers and colonists,” is “kind of trash,” according to one reporter.
Elie Mystal, author and justice correspondent for the Nation, criticized the Constitution when asked whether the purpose of his new book, Allow Me to Retort: A Black Guy’s Guide to the Constitution, was to trash the governing document.
“It’s certainly not sacred. Let’s start there,” Mystal told Ana Navarro during a segment on The View. “The Constitution is kind of trash.”
“It was written by slavers and colonists and white people who were willing to make deals with slavers and colonists,” Mystal said. “They didn’t ask anybody who looked like me what they thought about the Constitution.”

After joking about what a conversation like that would’ve looked like, Mystal went on to say that the document “was written without the consent of black and brown people in this country and without the consent of women in this country.” (Read more from “The Constitution Is ‘Kind of Trash,’ Reporter Says” HERE)
