Today's edition of GPB's "Political Rewind" began with that disturbing exchange between state Rep. Jason Spencer, R-Woodbine and his former House colleague, Democrat LaDawn Jones of Atlanta, over Confederate monuments.

Spencer has since expressed his regrets that his comments "were misinterpreted as a threat."
