Tonight on The ReidOut, Joy Reid leads with the echoes of history that reverberate as we recall President Richard Nixon’s derogatory remarks towards student war protesters just days before the tragic Kent State shootings in 1970, highlighting a disturbing cycle of repression amidst current clampdowns on campus protests by universities and law enforcement. Furthermore, we delve into Donald Trump’s legal tactics, observing a shift towards appealing more to his vanity than to the judge and jury, a strategy doomed for failure. Additionally, the inevitable return of Ron DeSantis to Trump’s favor is scrutinized, emblematic of a trend where former Trump critics scramble to regain his approval, showcasing the enduring power dynamics within the GOP. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
