On this edition of Political Rewind, Republican Attorney General Chris Carr says it’s time to pay tribute to Martin Luther King, Jr. at Stone Mountain, a state venue long known as a symbol of Confederate pride.

Then, President Trump signs the compromise bill to keep the government funded but declares a national emergency to obtain money for his wall that Congress refused to give him. How did Georgia's representatives vote on the funding bill?

Later, our panel looks at an explosive investigative report alleging that attorney David Ralston has used his position as speaker of the house to delay criminal proceedings against clients who have beaten women and more.
