Summary

Tonight on The ReidOut, Joy Reid leads with Supreme Court Justice Sam Alito, who reveled in, and joked about, being the one to deliver the death blow to Roe v Wade. Alito is now making it harder to bring racial gerrymandering cases, while reports have shown him flying yet another extremist flag over his home. Also in this episode, we cover Donald Trump wasting his time in the Bronx following a head-spinning week as a criminal defendant, purveyor of Nazi rhetoric, and bald-faced liar claiming that he was a target for assassination. Plus, Joy exposes how Ron DeSantis, fresh from his humiliating presidential campaign, is co-opting the civil rights movement term "freedom summer" to push his hateful agenda. Listen now to this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
