Summary

Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut with how Donald Trump often whines about the unfairness of the justice system. Yet, there is apparently a distinct tier for Trump, who remains a free man, and another tier for the many, many other Americans who go to prison for much less than he has done. Also in this episode, we spotlight the brave mourners who defied the Kremlin outside the funeral of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny. We show how their valor contrasts with the weakness and capitulaton of the "stooges" in America's Republican Party. Finally, we discuss how Beyoncé, who is number one on the country music charts, is helping shine a light on the Black pioneers in the genre, particularly Black women. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
