Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut by inviting you to step into the shoes of the Ukrainian populace, as everyday people leave their normal lives to defend their families and homeland against Russia. Next, we speak to a member of Ukraine's Parliament, Kira Rudik, who describes asking for and learning to use a Kalashnikov rifle as part of the civilian, volunteer effort to defy Ukraine's Russian invaders. Then, we completely debunk the viral lie suggesting that Vladimir Putin would not have invaded Ukraine if Donald Trump were president. We also spotlight President Biden nominating the eminently qualified Ketanji Brown Jackson for the Supreme Court. Joy also commemorates the fact that ten years have passed since the death of Trayvon Martin. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
