Discussed Today, In Detail:
Joy Reid: ‘Absurd and infuriating’ for Barr to compare shutdowns to slavery
On Attorney General Bill Barr calling the coronavirus lockdowns the greatest
intrusion of civil liberties since slavery, Joy responds “Let's just be clear:
245 years of forced labor, rape, and the breeding, selling, and violent
subjugation of human beings is slavery. And nothing, certainly not being asked
to cover sneezes in Walmart, comes anywhere close to that."

‘transform the south’ in race against Lindsey Graham

There aren't Democratic, Republican solutions to it. They just want a solution.
When your roads are crumbling, you don't care if it's a Democratic or Republican
solution. You just want a solution."
