Summary

Tonight on The ReidOut, Joy Reid covers the global condemnation that erupted following an Israeli airstrike that tragically claimed the lives of seven humanitarian aid workers associated with Chef Jose Andres' World Central Kitchen, labeling the strike as "unforgivable." Furthermore, we delve into the concerning phenomenon of the Trump cult, where his followers seemingly disregard his alleged crimes and elevate him to a messianic figure at his rallies.

Additionally, marking 103 years since the Tulsa Race Massacre, two centenarian survivors persist in their quest for justice, coinciding with a pivotal court hearing today, highlighting the enduring struggle for accountability and reconciliation.
