The Joy Reid Show

On tonight's show, we dig deep into the four horses of the democracy apocalypse: the FBI raid and seizure of Fulton County Georgia election office, the rendition of 5-year-old Liam Ramos and his father to Texas, the ongoing occupation and terror campaign against Minneapolis, Minnesota, and the arrest of Don Lemon, fellow independent journalist Georgia Fort, Trahern Jeen Crews, co founder of Black Lives Matter Minnesota, and Jamael Lydell Lundy… who is a lobbyist for the Hennepin County attorneys office – and a candidate for the Minnesota State Senate. And we throw in some shade for Trump's new pet: Nicky Minaj. Our guests: former prosecutor Paul Butler, Mo Ivory, the Fulton County, Georgia Commissioner representing District 4 and a candidate for Chair of the Fulton County Commission, Texas Rep. Julian Castro, abortion rights activist Lizz Winstead, Judge Glenda Hatchett, Nana Gyamphi of the Black Alliance for Just Immigration, and our friend Lev Parnas.

On tonight's episode of The Joy Reid Show we focus in on the horrific murder of Minneapolis resident, 37-year-old Renee Good, by ICE agents this past Wednesday. We also take a look at the response by the Trump Regime and it's attempts to smear Good's character and exonerate her killer.
