it is early tuesday in ukraine where the question is can people many who have not seen airs trunks where they live from us expect us second straight morning of this. >> my hands are trembling, i've just seen how the missile was

flying overhead and i heard that sound. that young woman nearly hit by nearly 84 cruise missiles ukrainian military said russia fired at cities in infrastructure right across ukraine today. destroying like this one came during the morning commute might cause the greatest loss of life. that bridge by the way is clearly not a military target. i've not been there, it's a tourist attraction, the kind of place he might go on for a stroll on the weekend. with friends. this isn't a military target either, it is a playground in a city park. several missiles landed here and a busy intersection near a museum. authorities say at least five people were killed and 11 nationwide. lviv in the far west was also hit, so was kharkiv in the east

and cities running south along the strategic dnieper river where this video was taken. >> [noise] the attack th e largest since the beginning of the evasion came days just after a massive explosion badly damaged a bridge that connects crimea for russia. some ukrainians welcomed it. president biden spoke today with ukraine's president vladislav ski and condemn the strikes and promised to ongoing support including air defense systems. today using what they have on hand, ukraine said they shot down 43 cruise muscles and 13 of the russian attack drones were also fired at. >> gunfire shouting >> in a

moment like conversation with this person who spent the early weeks of the war with a shelter with three children's back their internet. first fred pleitgen joins us now from kyiv. what are things like in the capital fred? >> hi there anderson, it's eerily quiet in the capital now but i think it's pretty tense as well. one of the things we've been hearing is that authorities to fear there could be additional strikes happening possibly in the overnight hours. and as you said possibly in the morning hours once again tomorrow. certainly there are very few people here in ukraine that believe that was it as far as the mass of the russian strikes were concerned. if you look at this morning for instance, it really was a rude awakening for the ukrainian capital. they haven't seen strikes on a scale or magnitude for a very long time, for several months

now. we were on the street in one location and we were reporting on a strike that has just happened. for a bunch of cars on fire, there were bodies in the street, and as we were doing that we were hearing additional explosions taking place for more rockets that were being fired by the russians and upper landing in the ukrainian capital. it was an eerie feeling not just for us but everyone who was on the ground there. one of the things that the authorities kept telling us is they say that the people here in kyiv and of course in many other big cities as well. this is a nationwide thing that took place. they urged them to stay indoors, to shelter in place. it was a beautiful day here in kyiv, there was sunshine, there was absolutely no one out on the streets. people were heeding those warnings. people going into metro stations to shelter there. it's something why i think that people are not necessarily in panic but they are very concerned that you could see a big escalation on the part of the russians that could take a heavy toll on the ukrainian capital as well anderson. >> what are ukrainian officials saying about the attacks?

>> the ukrainian officials, i spoke to many of them today, and they said they're absolutely defiant in the face of this. i spoke to the mayor of kyiv and he says that if anything he believes the people will band together and will want to become even stronger in defending ukraine. it was quite interesting because the ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy actually visited one of the sites it was hit earlier today and he did that in the evening hours, just before we went to air here right now. he said ukraine's are already working to get those services back up and going, of course there were power failures in a lot of ukrainian cities, but he also said that he believes the russians are doing this not just because they were humiliated by the bridge to crimea but because they are losing on the battlefield. he says he believes the only answer the ukrainians can give to this at this point in time is by making it more difficult for the russians on the battlefield.

so certainly the cranes are saying they are not going to let up and if anything they will become stronger because of this. >> fred pleitgen in kyiv. thank you. today is a reminder what vladimir putin can inflict on his ukrainian civilians. not entirely unexpected. it's entirely unimaginable to wonder what it was like, people are trying to have a normal life in wartime only to have it taken away. this woman and her three young children who come on the broadcast often, and she'd been documenting her life on youtube. her channel is called what is ukraine. she posted this earlier today. >> there was an air raid siren in the morning which basically ignored because like every day, every night, no attacks on kyiv for a long time. for months. i even forgot this awful feeling of fear, when you have your hands trembling.

when your mouth is dry, when it's hard to breathe. but it's here again because an hour ago there were explosions in kyiv and it hit the very city center of the city and there were many dead and injured. these were people who were driving to go to work, to driving to school, taking their kids to school, taking their kids to the dentist, which i planned to do today. i had to drive a little bit later. thanks god we were not driving at this time in this place. >> that was the lady shortly after the attack. we spoke just before airtime tonight. >> elena, thank you so much for joining us, i'm so glad you and

your family are safe. i know you are joining us from the basement of a building. can you just talk a little bit about what has been going on, what you've been seeing and hearing and where you are? >> well, i woke up in the morning, my children said good morning, and then explosions erupted. we heard them clearly even though they were in another neighborhood. however, i was about to take my kids to the dentist. the same road that was bombed actually but didn't. that is why we are safe and alive. that is the main thing for us personally. we are in the bomb shelter right now, in the basement, we will stay here overnight until morning just in case. but most people are back home sitting in their apartments. >> the last time we spoke, you talk about how you move back into your apartment and you talked about how the extra fear as you called it was not with you anymore. you describe that extra fear has been with you in your

breathing, kind of made you feel thirsty all the time back when the war was in kyiv itself every single day, he was sort of regained the illusion of a normal life. do you still feel that? >> it can be lost easily when you hear missiles falls near you. everything is back. but what is also back, i am angry. i'm angry with what is happening to me. the destruction that was caused to kyiv and in fact to ukraine today, let's be honest, not that many people died. each life is a tragedy, yes, but not lots of infrastructure was damaged.

it will not influenced a lot in our lives -- this is just to know the terror, to provoke maybe paying, to scare you guys in other countries or to show to his own people that he is a tyrant, and he is still powerful and look how many people look at what my fireworks we can do. i feel very angry with this many other ukrainians as well. we do not feel desperate. we are angry and we send more people to the army. we are sure that ukraine will win. we need it as fast as possible because before -- only after we win this war, only after russia is defeated we will have our piece back here. >> you know, the russian bridge the other day that was hit was a bridge that was an important link to crimea for from russia

for russian trips. it was a surprise that it was a military target. and number of these bombs, missiles that were fired at ukraine, i understand your favor playground where your kids played in the center of kyiv was hit. i know a bridge i had been to, pedestrian bridge, a kind of bicycle bridge which is a tourist attraction in central kyiv was also hit. it's kind of remarkable that that's what russia is now striking at as if those are comparable targets in any way? >> yes. it could be funny, we built a military bridge with which the army was to be supplied. this is just a touristic bridge. we are romantic couples used to kiss each other, we use when as children went out for a walk. this is the level of this terrorist. i do think the time has come finally to tell that we are not afraid of him, everyone to say

that you are a terrorist. we have to recognize russia as a terrorist state because what russia is doing is obvious. have nothing to do with the success on the battlefield. it's not the war, this is terrorism. this is pure terrorism. the park that is especially personal for me, because the park is next to the university, or i was a student when we studied journalism and this is a place next to the center of the park, there is a russian czech monument and this is the place where my husband told me ten years ago that he's in love with me. we named our son terrace after turns to chunk of, so this is very personal for me. so it's just in my heart. >> if memory serves me correct,

he asked to take a walk with you didn't? >> after the walk, i took a walk with him to the monument, and that's when he said that that he's in love. he asked can i kiss you, and i said yes. you see, i have three children now. >> we should say your husband has volunteered to serve and is defending kyiv now he's elsewhere. i know it's the middle of the night, i don't keep you up to long, but i saw one of the videos posted on youtube now he. he said we he wished we would call human something not terrible happen but when something beautiful is happening, not just for. that just because there is war. you're right and will try to be better but the. so when we just leave you with something, i ask you about something beautiful, which is

your children and your family how are they? >> in fact we are very much looking forward to our daddy to come back home because one week ago the parliament voted that fathers, parents of three children -- thank you for your service, you can go home. so we wait for this day. the president already signed, now it's funny, in russia they mobilized everyone. in ukraine, they set free some people for moral reasons. if you have three children, that is reason enough to go home, so we are looking forward. one more thing is happened. a week ago, my eight-year-old girl was diagnosed with asperger's. she has high functioning autism. it became really visible and

obvious right now because of the war because she is overstressed everything that is happening around. so i'm really looking forward to my husband to come back to the family, and i wish all ukrainian soldiers to come back home to their families as soon as possible. >> olena gnes, i wish you and your family the best and thank you for talking to us. >> thank you anderson. >> coming up next tonight. a sitting u.s. senator compares reparations for slavery to money for criminals. kanye west blatantly antisemitic twitter outburst and los angeles politicians racist remarks. what is going on? i'll talk with van jones and the ceo of the anti-defamation league. later, michael fanone, the man who nearly lost his life defending the capitol and what happened when he confronted house minority leader kevin mccarthy. he writes about it in a new book. coming up shortly. when it was time to sign up for a medicare plan... mom didn't know which way to turn. but thanks to the right plan promise from unitedhealthcare

now putting a now deleted antisemitic message saying he was doing death con three on jewish people, or the los angeles city council president calling a colleague's black son and this is her words in a record according to the los angeles times, a monkey, it's been a busy several days for hate. twitter unlocked kanye's account, in a deleted message he also said, you guys have toyed with me, meaning jews -- and tried to blackball anyone who ever opposes your agenda. additionally he said he couldn't be anti-semitic because black people are actually jew also. so there is that. there was also this saturday from alabama tommy tuberville from nevada calling democrats criminals and connecting reparations to the descendants of slaves with money for criminals. >> some people say well they're soft on crime.

no they're not soft on crime, they're pro crime. they want crime. they want crime because they want to take over what you've got. they want to control what you have. they want reparations because they think the people who do the crime are. bullshit, they're not for that. >> we asked the senator to to be on the program to discuss what he said about that. but they said he's not available. as for kanye west, cnn's been unable to contact a representative for comment. with me are cnn commentator and special obama political advisor van jones, and jonathan greenblatt, the ceo of the anti-defamation league. first of all than, sitting senator making those remarks in front of a crowd in alabama, who saturn shear them, your reaction? >> well, it's the epitome of racism first of all to say that as of all the crime in america is being done by black people which it is not. and then that reparations is what black peoples feelings from white people which is not. then the huge cheer from people. this is the kind of stuff that needs to be challenged in the republican party. there are ways many ways to

talk about crime, but to say the crime isn't a conspiracy to say it by democrats, it's every conceivable stereotype and it's very dangerous. >> that is being met by silence by many in the republican party? >> you know, i can't believe it's 2022. this is the last -- everything we're talking about -- we need to be coming together as a country. we have 100 problems to solve, and you look at the people in the ukraine coming together and inspiring the world were just here embarrassing ourself, falling down the stairs like idiots. it's just terrible. >> jonathan, look at kanye west

and what he tweeted out, these are age-old antisemitic tropes that he tweeted. he must be aware of that. mental illness is not an excuse for this. >> it certainly isn't. i don't want to minimize or stigmatize mental health issues and i hope he gets the treatment today that apparently clearly he needs. but mental health is not an excuse to foment a conspiracy theories at the jewish et cetera. because you know what? deranged people are often inspired by this kind of awfulness. this is the month of october. jewish people are celebrating rosh hashanah, jewish new year, they're praying for renewal, remembering yom kippur, we pray for forgiveness, but it's also the month where we saw in 2018, one of the most violent anti-semitic attacks in american history. because because some deranged

person believed a conspiracy history that jews were bringing migrants across the border. >> he's talking about death con three. it's repugnant. >> it's not only repugnant, it's dangerous. that is incitement. what does it mean defcon three? if you're a jewish person who's already seeing the rise of antisemitic incidents, remember the hate has been heightened. hate crimes against jews and other peoples as reached record highs. so when with someone with 31 million followers says death calm three, that is antisemitism, that is incitement, and it's gotta go. >> what do you make of what can kenny west is said and done and in this past week? >> well, it's disgusting, it's embarrassing, it has to be called it and announced by everybody, black white and ever and otherwise. it's amazing black people and jewish people came together in the 60s and liked arms and put bodies on the ground. people died, both black and jewish for the rights we have now. people who don't appreciate that and want to play to the cheap seats on some of the worst stereotypes against jewish people have to call out of it now.

it's embarrassing. it's embarrassing, you don't have to be jewish to call this out. you don't have to be part of the adl to call this out. every single person should call this out and say it's wrong. of course, kenny did the white lives matter stunt. obviously, he needs help, but it doesn't matter at a certain point, it's about saying that there is a standard we are gonna have here and we're not gonna have white alabama senators say all black people are criminals who want reparations on the cheap and nobody says anything. notkin of african american celebrities coming out here in attacking jewish people, nobody says anything. you're not gonna have latinas here in los angeles dividing the black community.

all of that stuff is just wrong. >> it shouldn't be up to jewish people to have to speak out about this. >> of course not. anti black racism isn't just vans problem, it's my problem as a white jewish problem. just like antisemitism isn't my problem, it's vans problem as a black christian. the reality is we are all in this together. as he said, we've all got to speak out, we've all got to stand up and say this isn't acceptable. i will say one other thing. social media is a big part of the problem anderson. i am someone who's been cautiously optimistic about what elon musk could possibly do, but when he welcomes back quarter unquote canyon west after he got kicked off instagram for hate and incitement. what message does that send? what is he trying to suggest he's going to do with the company? look, i think what we are seeing today is that our society is afflicted with a sickness. it's a sickness of hate. you see it in all three of these threads, that's where they come together as van said we've got a joint and lock

i was not an impediment to -- boxes a hole by --

any responsibilities. and then storm murray joins us now with more. what else do you know about these communications with the government services agencies that we're talking about in the previous -- >> anderson, we've seen this claim from trump and his former aide saying essentially they impact the boxes, we can all be held accountable for classified documents, but what we're seeing in the emails gsa agents are all relying on them to -- ship to mar-a-lago. in july 2020, when there's this exchange between gsa officials and a trump, bill harrison, when they're asking him to affirm what's in these pilots if they're gonna make a ship to mar-a-lago. and in in another series of exchanges, just say officials are outlining and what is and what isn't allowed to be shipped through them back to florida. now, when we were asking the former president spokes person for a comment on this, he did not address any of these emails, it seemed to refute the explanation the former

president put forward. instead, he slammed the biden administration and the democrats are just coming up with a new witch hunt to come after the former president. >> obviously, with very classified documents, they would need special handling, even if they were allowed to move, they would be packed up like this. what did the emails show about the chaos surrounding the unusual transition? >> we should note, you're still not allowed to take the classified documents. i think you're allowed to take a number of things to set up your post-presidential office, but documents are not part of that. -- he was more focused on trying to overturn the last election and plan for his post presidency. the pennington start till nine days before joe biden's inauguration. and his email showed that even into july 2021, it was sort of the last night they can use these transition funds to send boxes to mar-a-lago. there's a flurry of emails to try to make that happen. ultimately, it's unsuccessful. they have to find other resources to do it. and that sort of one example of

how chaotic the post presidency and final hours of the trump presidency were. >> sarah murray, appreciate your -- separately reported a meeting with house republican leader kevin mccarthy, six months before the general 16 selection. the intended cap -- capital that day and the mother of the late capitol police officer brian cygnet. and the recordings of cnn, the president -- the former president didn't know there was any violence inside the capitol that day. but as you likely remember, testimony to the january six committee revealed he did not because he was watching hours of coverage on the violence from the white house. which would officer for a non-rim courted from his conversation with mccarthy. >> he knows what's going on. he knew what was going on. he knew they were fighting for hours, and hours, and hours. you know, it doesn't make any sense --

>> [inaudible] i don't know that he did know that. >> that audio another moments from that are featured in fanone's new book. michael fanone joins us now. i've got to say, reading in your book, the account with this meeting of mccarthy it was hard not to get very upset just listening to what you were saying, what the officers mama saying, and the way that kevin mccarthy was trying to essentially eat up the time that he had promised to actually meet with you. did you feel that he was being genuine with you? >> no, not at. all i think that that compounded how angry i was in that meeting, watching him interact with gladys sicknick in such a an empathetic way. he really had, or displayed no compassion whatsoever for this woman who had lost her son as a result of the attack on the

capitol on january 6th. >> i want to play something else that mccarthy had said in that meeting. >> i was getting the tar kicked out of me. the way that he was saying, this is what happened when you steal an election, go home, i love you. what is that? that came from the president of the united states. >> that's obviously you talking to mccarthy. how did he respond to that? >> well, first i thought it was shocking that what he was saying was that he was taking credit for convince the president to release that. >> the i love you.

video >> the most disingenuous that is putting it lightly, an effort to quell the violence that day by donald trump. he seemed to think, or at least he was trying to convince us that that was in some way significant and that he was in some way responsible for that. the meeting itself, there was very little substance like you said. he was making efforts to run out the clock, he knew the optics at that point had become so bad that it was politically disadvantageous for him to continue to kick the can down the road so to speak with regards to a meeting with myself or with him. >> you and miss sicknick, you are hoping to essentially just get him to agree to really having an investigation into what happened on that day. it's not like you are asking, you are just asking for an actual investigation and cooperation from them. >> i had some pretty clear

things that i laid out for them in the meeting. i want to him to take the investigation seriously, i wanted him to a serious members, republicans to participate in that investigation which obviously he did not do. he appointed jim jordan and jim banks, who are what i would refer to as insurrectionist members of the party. he also, i asked him to denounce the 21 house republicans that voted against congressional gold medal acknowledging the efforts of the metropolitan police department, the u.s. capitol police of that day. he said that he would do those things privately. i later learned that he had

made no efforts whatsoever to contact any of those members. i also asked him to denounce, at that point, merging conspiracy theory regarding the fbi. and them somehow having participated in or even orchestrated the january 6th attack, is a false flag operation. we saw how that rhetoric later led to violence against the fbi. >> it is interesting, in the book you write about how -- what i hadn't realized was that you went to the capitol on your own that day. you heard over radio, you were on another case, you heard over the radio officers in need. what made you decide to go? >> you are right, i was a metropolitan police officer. this is a different department

from the u.s. capitol police. the assignment that i had at the time was a specialized unit, i was working on a narcotics case. i heard the 10:33, the calls for assistance coming from many of the officers that were there. also, an agency 10:33 which is, a call for assistance from the u.s. capitol police. i went there because there are officers that were in need of assistance. there are officers that needed help. that was my soul function that day, to go there and respond to help protect officers and to fight against this violent onslaught of individuals, americans who were attacking police. >> one of the things that you write about in the book is the body camera footage, you are shooting on your body cam. the impact that it had on the

people who watched it you held i held on to that video like a security blanket. what was it about watching that footage for you afterwards? this is that footage that we are showing. >> i recognize the significance of it, i felt as though, based on the reaction of a few people that had seen it early on, i felt that it was compelling and that it was indisputable evidence of the reality of january 6th. i felt that if the public had access to this and if these lawmakers who were saying things that were devoid of reality had access to this, then at least in some instances it would quell some of those conspiracy theories. >> the thing that is so disturbing to me, one of the many things that is disturbing about your footage and pictures i've seen of you completely surrounded in that mob. people who hate you, not that they know you, just to hate you for what you represent. it is the personal nature of

it. you are all alone in this crowd of people who are free to do whatever they want to try to do to you. tase you in the back of the neck, it is reprehensible and just stunning. i do you think i understand that you want people to see that footage. >> i talked about it at my congressional testimony. -- >> those individuals who took it upon themselves to assault me that day, i wasn't preventing them from doing anything. >> those were the names of some of the people who did that to you. >> some of them. and they did so maliciously and, again, i was preventing them at that point from doing anything. >> michael fanone, i appreciate you being with us.

>> thank you for having me. >> the book, once again, is out tomorrow. it's called hold the line, the insurrection and battle for america's soul. it is a great read. up next, why georgia republican senate candidate herschel walker is reece receiving -- diametrically opposed to what they say they stand for. we will be right back. taking the shawl off. is he looking at my hairline? is plaque psoriasis making you rethink your everyday choices? otezla is a pill, not a cream or injection that can help people with plaque psoriasis achieve clearer skin. and no routine blood tests required.

>> a month from tomorrow is the midterms and the battle in the georgia senate races nasty as senate candidate nurse or klondike is tied into a number of controversies when he actors former girlfriend to have a in abortion after having it from antiabortion stance. all of this doesn't seem to stop the republicans from backing rocker walker. senator scott will be telling cnn that the democrats want to destroy this country enabled tried to destroy anyone who gets in their way. today it's herschel walker, but tomorrow it's the american people. right-wing radio host dana lash had this to say walker. >> i don't care if herschel

walker paid to abort and in endangered baby eagles, i want control of the senate. >> joining me now is eric ericsson, host of the ericsson show in georgia, also clinton official and senior political analyst, kirsten powers. >> eric, what does it say to you that despite all the that senator scott and -- georgia for herschel walker? >> well it's the field who they've got, that's who the voters chose for georgia's, despite all the warnings including myself that he was devoted we weakest candidate. republicans want control of the senate, this is a power play. they want to be in the majority so they will go all the distance they can to get their. >> kirsten, is this the reality of politics in america? is this something that the democrats would do as well? is it just a faustian bargain to remain in power or hold on

to power? >> i think you have to ask how someone like this even ends up being a candidate. do i think democratic voters would choose someone like this? no i don't see a lot of evidence that would, say why don't see a lot of evidence that they would choose somebody like donald trump. so eric is right, it's now a zero sum game, it's between him or a democrat and the control of the senate hangs in the balance. but that doesn't mean that we shouldn't talk about the fact that we have sat here and listened over the last many months to very many republicans claiming that to abort a baby's to murder a baby. i can't tell you how many times i have sat here in her that and heard republicans say that. so when you consider that, what he has been accused of his paying to murder a baby. if we are to believe what we hear all the time. so either don't actually believe that or they are willing to look the other way. it doesn't really make sense to me and something just didn't feel on the up and up about it,

and i would suggest that they don't really believe that, but highlights this issue of yes, everybody makes compromises but we all have a line that we don't cross right? what's the line for republicans? >> eric, do you think to kirsten's point, it weakens the argument that some in georgia have made in their concern about abortion? >> i hear this a lot from collars to already show that herschel walker may or may not have paid for an abortion 13 years ago. i found warnock's on record saying he wants tax funded

abortions until the moment of birth, so republicans are on record saying i'm on record saying that i would rather have somebody do this 13 years ago than someone who's wants to do it tomorrow. i want to point out the john fetterman, and raphael warnock have lots of problems as well. both sides look at each other's as morally repugnant. democrats look at the republicans platform, republicans would disagree. i understand from the colours they don't want anything about. abortions >> but hold on, democrats don't think it's morally republican repugnant to get an abortion. republicans do. >> you're right democrats don't. >> that's what i'm saying. >> let kirsten respond. >> i'm not saying that's morally repugnant. i do think holding a gun to your wife's head is morally repugnant, but i don't think they're getting an abortion is morally repugnant. that's what i hear republicans saying all the time and it's far more than morally repugnant. we are repeatedly told that it's murder, that it is murdering baby. so the accusation is that he paid to murder a baby,

according to republicans. i'm just saying. >> but kirsten, if the choice is a binary choice on a ballot box of somebody who has allegedly paid for somebody to have an abortion which too many people in georgia would consider paying for the murder of a baby, and a democrat who they believe would change laws that would allow abortions to can take place, is it fair for someone to make just a decision based on that binary choice and not step back and look at it from a different angle? >> i think every person has to decide that for themselves, but i do think the do have to step back and say wait hold on. if i'm really able to make this compromise, do i really believe

this? because i personally, no matter what they were promising me, if somebody said that they paid to have a baby killed, i would not vote for them. so you know i think it's an opportunity to kind of look at this and say what is this really about? please stop using this rhetoric because you clearly don't even believe it or he wouldn't be going along with this guy. if you just pay to have anybody murder >> i disagree. >> if he had somebody murdered of the vote? from >> i find both candidates here terrible candidates. i'm appalled that both parties have the candidates they have. but when you are a voter and you have the binary choice that a guy may have done this 13 years ago versus a guy who wants you as a taxpayer to pay for it tomorrow, i think voters have a right to say, i don't like either of these candidates but i don't want to pay for this, and raphael we're not gonna do it. >> erick erickson, kirsten powers, i appreciate it, thank you. coming up, new details on the police shooting of a 17 year old while he was eating and in a mcdonald's parking lot. the latest on his condition. next.

to a grand jury to determine if criminal charges will be filed against this officer. it's quite a turn because initially 17 year old eric was charged with evading arrest and assaulting a police officer. those charges against the teenager have since been dropped. ed lavandera, thank, you we appreciate it. coming up, russia launches its heaviest airstrikes today since it started the war. elief with more concentrated power. because the only thing dripping should be your style! plop plop fizz fizz, winter warriors with alka-seltzer plus. this is going to be great. taking the shawl off. i did it. is he looking at my hairline? my joint pain isn't too bad. well, it wasn't this morning. i hope i can get through this. is plaque psoriasis or psoriatic arthritis making you rethink your everyday choices? otezla is a pill, not a cream or injection that can help people with plaque psoriasis achieve clearer skin. otezla is proven to reduce joint swelling,
