Summary

Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut with the current state of chaos and confusion for women across the country spurred by a single judge’s decision to invalidate the FDA’s 23-year-old approval of one of the principal drugs used for abortions – mifepristone. We also expose the hypocrisy and extra-loud dog-whistling by Republicans and what it really means when they call Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg and others "Soros-backed." Plus, we are learning a lot of very interesting things about Cameron Sexton, the Tennessee House speaker who subjected his state to national ridicule over the expulsion of two young, Black legislators, including reporting that he might not even live in the district he represents. Finally, Chicago Mayor-elect Brandon Johnson joins Joy on successfully pitching President Biden to host the 2024 Democratic National Convention. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
