Joy Reid: More seeds of an apparent conspiracy were planted before Jan. 6

Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut with a report that the Jan 6. select committee is actively investigating several illegitimate Republican electors, who in December of 2020 submitted forged documents that falsely declared Donald Trump the victor. Rep. Mark Pocan joins The ReidOut to discuss. Next, we examine the dystopian development of governors who are pitching special election police forces, which many are calling "election cops." Plus, with the Supreme Court's approval rating at a new low, Justice Clarence Thomas last fall defended the court against the growing criticism that it has become too politicized. Meanwhile, Thomas is married to someone who is extremely politically active on the far right. Then, Democratic U.S. Senate candidate from Louisiana Gary Chambers joins Joy on his viral campaign ad depicting him smoking cannabis as a statement about the need for criminal justice reform. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
