Rep. Ted Lieu on Jan. 6: "The Republicans cannot stop the full truth from coming out"
"The Republicans cannot stop the full truth from coming out," Rep. Ted Lieu tells Joy Reid, as he joins The ReidOut to discuss the Republican Party apparently turning a blind eye to any responsibility Donald Trump bears for the Jan. 6 insurrection. About today's GOP, politics expert Stuart Stevens adds, "I think the only way to save the Republican Party is to burn the current Republican Party to the ground." Next, as the filibuster controversy continues to rage and the voting rights bill faces an uphill battle in the Senate, former Hill staffer Ira Shapiro says that in his view President Biden, "won't let the nation's progress be held back by the Senate's filibuster rule." Then, former member of the Obama administration Ben Rhodes joins us to discuss his new book, and what the state of international politics says about the status of our democracy. Plus, Phill Wilson, president and CEO of the Black AIDS Institute, joins Joy Reid as we commemorate this country recognizing the dawn of the AIDS epidemic, forty years ago tomorrow. All this and more, in this Friday edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
