Joy Reid explains the racist history of the "great replacement theory"

Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut with the winners and losers from Tuesday's primaries--including Madison Cawthorn whose primary loss in North Carolina caps off a season of Republican infighting over his various salacious claims. Then, we discuss how on Wednesday Finland and Sweden formally submitted applications to join NATO. Both countries are abandoning decades of neutrality in direct response to Russia's aggression in Ukraine. Joy also explains the racist history of the "great replacement theory" currently being promoted by leading, right-wing media outlets, which are influencing a significant portion of the American public with this racist propaganda. Finally, Vice News journalist Rob Ferdman joins us on his reporting uncovering new information on the officers who killed Breonna Taylor, plus an informant alleging that Louisville police officers were engaging in illegal activities. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
