Summary

Tonight on The ReidOut, Joy Reid leads with Donald Trump's rhetoric escalating to even more toxic levels, targeting not only the LGBTQ community but also migrants, whom he dehumanizes as "animals" seeking to invade the homes of suburban housewives. In another development, special counsel Jack Smith confronts Judge Aileen Cannon, known for her favorable disposition towards Trump, urging her to abandon the ludicrous guidelines for jury instructions in the Trump classified documents case. Failure to comply may result in Smith seeking intervention from a higher court. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
