'Great job, white folks': Attorney trolls MAGA fans on MSNBC over 'fire hose' of chaos

During a segment on MSNBC discussing Donald Trump's first five days in office that has led to everything from pardoning violent criminals who stormed the Capitol to disrupting the Department of Justice, one guest said the ensuing chaos can be laid at the feet of the president's MAGA supporters.

Speaking with host Ali Velshi, the always blunt-talking Elie Mystal, an attorney and columnist for The Nation, said no one should be surprised by what has happened since Trump was sworn in on Monday.

Velshi prompted his guest with, "Elie it's been a fire hose of stuff going on in the federal government, generally in the Department of Justice, fairly specifically this week. Some have described it as a shock and awe campaign, which might be what it is. I guess the danger is in covering Trump 2.0, how do we deal with this?"

"We tried to tell y'all," Mystal exclaimed. "I wrote specifically about this issue, what he was going to do to the Department of Justice multiple times during the election cycle because, as you pointed out in your open, this was all written down. So I don't like the shock and awe version of this, because if you've been paying attention, they wrote it down, they told you exactly what they were going to do and exactly how you were going to do it."

"And a majority of white people voted for this," he continued. "This is the disgusting version of America that people want."

"And, oh by the way, eggs are still more expensive, so you don't even get that," he pointed out before sarcastically adding, "Great job, white folks!"
