Sen. Cory Booker openly questioned whether former Vice President Joe Biden can talk about race and unite the country after Biden’s controversial comments about working with segregationists and busing. Joy Reid and her panel discuss this, plus the aftermath of the first Democratic debate, and more. But first: Donald Trump called stepping across the demilitarized zone into North Korea, and shaking the hand of the reportedly murderous dictator Kim Jong-un, ‘a great honor.’ Joy Reid and her panel discuss what many perceive as the negative implications of this rushed diplomatic event. Then: Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Kamala Harris has been the victim of escalating social media attacks focusing on her ethnic heritage, reminiscent of the ‘birtherism’ movement that falsely questioned former President Barack Obama’s background. Joy Reid and her panel discuss. And: Rep. Ilhan Omar joins AM JOY discussing America’s immigration crisis and the Democrats’ split over the emergency border funding bill, telling Joy Reid, ‘To me it is really about people who are thinking, what is politically expedient.’ All this and more in this Sunday edition of AM JOY on MSNBC.Learn more about your ad choices.
