**Unhinged Leftist Journalist Accuses Chief Justice John Roberts of Racism Over Voting Rights Act**
In a recent podcast appearance, liberal journalist Elie Mystal went on a tirade, falsely accusing Chief Justice John Roberts of being a racist who doesn’t want black people to vote. Mystal’s irrational meltdown unveils the twisted narrative pushed by left-wing media against Roberts and the Supreme Court’s upcoming decision on the Voting Rights Act’s constitutionality.
During the podcast, Mystal baselessly claimed that Chief Justice John Roberts has “been an enemy of black people voting for his entire legal career.” Furthermore, Mystal misled listeners by saying that Roberts worked against expanding the Voting Rights Act during his time in the Reagan White House.
In his rant, Mystal attempted to portray Republicans as anti-minority and against African Americans voting when this is simply not the reality. Instead, it should be noted that the Voting Rights Act was easily reauthorized or expanded throughout history, even being approved under George W. Bush by a voice vote. Yet Mystal continued to push the false narrative that Roberts is against voting rights and will continue to be an “enemy” in the upcoming Supreme Court decisions.
Nick Fondacaro, NewsBusters’ Associate Editor, rightfully drew attention to the danger of such hateful commentary. Fondacaro referenced the 2017 baseball practice shooting at congressional Republicans, carried out by an avid MSNBC watcher, as an example of the potential consequences of spreading hateful rhetoric like Mystal’s.
**Baseless Accusations Only Further Divide Our Nation**
Elie Mystal’s unfounded claims against Chief Justice John Roberts underscore the twisted narratives pushed by left-wing media. Such false accusations only serve to further divide our country and stifle constructive conversation on critical issues like voting rights. It is crucial for journalists to remain objective and accountable for their words, rather than spreading hate and division.
