The ReidOut with Joy Reid

Art Spiegelman talks his graphic novel "Maus" on the horrors of The Holocaust being banned

Episode Summary

Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut with the Tennessee school board that has voted unanimously to ban the graphic novel "Maus," which portrays the horrors of The Holocaust, from the eighth grade curriculum. Art Spiegelman, Pulitzer Prize-winning artist and creator of the esteemed work "Maus," and Jerry Craft, Newbery Medal-winning illustrator and author of “New Kid,” which was temporarily banned by a Texas school board, both join The ReidOut to discuss. Next, with the retirement of Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer, President Biden is recommitting to his campaign promise to nominate a Black woman to the highest court in the land. Joy Reid and her panel debunk the false notion that the possible Black woman nominees are anything but extremely qualified. We also discuss the 84 Republicans who submitted falsified documents to overturn the election in several states who are finally getting the scrutiny they deserve from the Justice Department. Finally, in this edition of "The Absolute Worst," Joy Reid critiques America's scandalously sparse social safety net. All this and much more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
