Remembering the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection and the ongoing fight to protect our democracy

Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut remembering that exactly one year ago insurrectionists stormed our nation's Capitol in an unprecedented attack on our democracy incited by the disgraced former president. Rep. Pete Aguilar, Rep. Pramila Jayapal, Rep. Ruben Gallego, and Rep. Ayanna Pressley join us with their unique perspectives. Plus, the Big Lie behind the insurrection has been weaponized by Republican state legislatures into new voter suppression laws, which are designed to disenfranchise the mostly Black, brown and AAPI voters who delivered to President Biden the election victory that the mob tried to overturn. Sherrilyn Ifill, president and director counsel of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, joins Joy on how critical it is to defend the vote for the 2022 elections. Finally, we close with an important message from Joy about the road ahead as we fight to protect our democracy. All this and much more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
