Tonight on the reidout and remember this, remember this, joe biden is a great threat to our democracy. Hes a tremendous threat to our democracy. Trump over the weekend doing his best George Orwell trying to turn the tables on his own autocratic plans by claiming joe biden is a threat to democracy. Meanwhile, the selfprofessed billionaire apparently doesnt have enough cash to secure a bond in his civil fraud case. Also tonight, the family of a liberal icon was furious that an award given in her name is be handed to the likes of elon musk and Rupert Murdoch, and tonight theres an update on this story. Plus, Nikole Hannahjones at the table tonight on how the right has hijacked the term color blindedness, not to advance racial progress but rather to reverse it.
