Summary

Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut as we await a verdict in the trial of five members of the far-right extremist group the Proud Boys for their role in the violent attack on the U.S. Capitol on January 6th. We discuss how Jan. 6 continues to be a drag on the Republican Party, as their likely nominee, Donald Trump, continues to literally embrace insurrectionists. Rep. Eric Swalwell joins Joy with his analysis. Also in this episode, we examine the reported corruption of many in the right-wing Supreme Court majority, and the questions their actions raise about the credibility of the Court. Sen. Mazie Hirono joins us on what can be done. Finally, actor and comedian John Leguizamo discusses his new series "Leguizamo Does America!" All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
