Summary

Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut with a tragedy that is unique to America--another school massacre, this time in Nashville, Tennessee. First lady and teacher, Dr. Jill Biden, responded to the latest horrific act of mass violence calling for change, as politicians in states like Tennessee apparently worry more about drag shows and banning books than about actually protecting children. Also in this epidose, public protests in Israel and elsewhere against a rising wave of authoritarianism abound, while here in the U.S., there is a shocking lack of urgency in repudiating the conspiratorial and violent rhetoric of our homegrown, suspected autocrats-in-waiting. Meanwhile, Donald Trump continues to lash out at the Manhattan DA, as the Manhattan grand jury hears from a key player in Trump's alleged hush money scheme. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
