Brittney Griner is home, yet hypocritical Republicans are slamming the deal that got it done

Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut with the news that at long last, Brittney Griner is home, yet hypocritical Republicans are slamming the deal that got it done, while at the same time attacking Griner herself. Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee joins Joy on the sad politicization of what should be a celebration. Also in this episode, we address the controversial "both sides-ism" from Kyrsten Sinema, who is switching to Independent and accusing Democrats of catering to the fringes, after voting 90% of the time with President Biden. Plus, Jaylen Smith, who will be the youngest Black mayor in America, just graduated from high school and is now moving in to the mayor's office of Earle, Arkansas. He joins Joy tonight. We also welcome Shangela and Bob the Drag Queen from HBO's "WE'RE HERE" to talk about their new season, and the danger facing the LGBTQ community because of policies and rhetoric from the intolerant right. All this and more in this editon of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
