Stacey Abrams: We need to do a carve out for the filibuster to protect our democracy

Joy Reid leads this edition of The ReidOut with Rep. Bennie Thompson, the chairman of the select committee to investigate the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol. They discuss what is next now that the House has voted to refer Steve Bannon to the Department of Justice for criminal contempt charges. Then, Karine Jean-Pierre, White House Principal Deputy Press Secretary, joins Joy to discuss the status of negotiations on the Build Back Better plan, and how the White House is working with Senators Manchin and Sinema. Plus, Stacey Abrams, founder of Fair Fight Action, tells us that we need to contact our senators and demand a carve out for the filibuster to pass voting rights legislation and protect our democracy. Rep. Pramila Jayapal has the latest on the status of the Progressive Caucus' agenda. Finally, Pamela Garrison, a member of the West Virginia chapter of the Poor People's Campaign, tells The ReidOut how her cohort of West Virginians really feels about Sen. Joe Manchin's policy initiatives. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
