Sec. Buttigieg has hope that 'at least some Senate Republicans' will back infrastructure bill
Joy Reid leads The ReidOut with what Democrats should expect from the many GOP culture wars as they prepare to run for office across the country. Democratic U.S. Senate candidate from Kentucky Charles Booker tells us that in his view, "Whenever someone like Rand Paul talks about... critical race theory... it's not because he cares about solutions. It's because he wants to distract the people from the challenges we're facing." Then Lauren Windsor joins on her organization's reporting using hidden cameras to reveal the priorities of certain GOP leaders, including a vow to double down on obstructionism. Plus, Transportation Sec. Pete Buttigieg tells Joy of the infrastructure bill, "I [haven't] given up on the idea that at least some Senate Republicans might decide to agree with the American people including a large majority of American Republicans... [who believe] we need to invest in the care economy of this country." Reporter Yamiche Alcindor brings us the latest developments on the turmoil in Haiti. And in tonight's edition of 'The Absolute Worst,' it couldn't be more clear that it's a race against the clock to get enough people vaccinated to put this pandemic behind us. Yet, a certain Fox News host has recently suggested that COVID-19 was "hyped a little bit." All this and much more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
