'The Big Lie is the Republican Party's platform' politics expert says

Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut with the gathering storm in this country: antidemocratic forces fueled by the Big Lie and enabled by many in the Republican Party gaining ground at an alarming pace. Joy and her panel discuss. Plus, Joy suggests that if you want a taste of what the GOP has dreamt up for America, just take a look at Texas where certain counties are banning books that touch on race, among more alarming developments. Then, observers agree that Democrats are in trouble going into the midterm elections. What can be done to boost its pro-democracy efforts? And, according to a scathing ProPublica report, a Tennessee county was profiting off the jailing of Black children as young as seven years old for a crime that does not exist, for more than a decade. Meribah Knight, co-author of this ProPublica report, joins us with more on the story. Finally, in this edition of "The Absolute Worst," Joy critiques rock and roll icon Eric Clapton for making news after donating a van and 1,000 pounds to British anti-vax group, "Jam for Freedom." All this and more in this edition of TheReidOut on MSNBC.
