The ReidOut: Season 2023, Episode 168

2023 - 168: Episode 68

Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut noticing that since Donald Trump came along in 2016, leading Republicans insist that because of him, Republicanism is booming among Black people, despite there being no evidence of that. We also continue to point out the absurdity of the concurrent idea that Donald Trump is just like a persecuted Black teenager in the 1930s, as many on the right also push the racist narrative that being an accused felon gives Trump "street cred" with African-Americans. Plus, we cover how Tennessee St. Rep. Justin Jones has again been silenced by Tennessee House GOP leaders for passionately fighting for gun reform after a mass murder at a Nashville school. St. Rep. Jones joins Joy to speak out.
