Summary

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy has blocked Democratic congressmen Adam Schiff and Eric Swalwell from seats on the House Intelligence Committee. Some believe this proves how beholden McCarthy is to the far right fringe of his caucus. Rep. Adam Schiff and Rep. Eric Swalwell join Joy Reid on these developments. Also in this episode, civil rights attorney Ben Crump has warned Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis that he will sue his administration if it continues to block an AP course on African-American studies. During the lawsuit announcement, Crump was joined by three high school students who would be the lead plaintiffs. Elijah Edwards, one of these three students, and Florida St. Sen. Shevrin Jones, join Joy with more. Plus, the Ukrainian military is getting a big upgrade as the Biden administration agrees to supply them with top-of-the-line battle tanks. We delve into what this means for the almost year-long war. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
