Trump protests, Minn. lawmaker shootings and the Columbus city manager firing
On Tuesday’s edition of “Politically Georgia,” Atlanta Journal-Constitution journalists Tia Mitchell and Patricia Murphy discussed rallies across metro Atlanta and Georgia to protest President Donald Trump and his administration’s immigration enforcement policies.
Mitchell and Murphy also talked about the shocking weekend shootings of two Minnesota lawmakers and their spouses.
Then the duo take us to Columbus, where tensions are running high after the firing of longtime City Manager Isaiah Hugley.
WRBL’s Chuck Williams joins to break down the controversy — and how it’s entangled state Rep. Carolyn Hugley, a top House Democrat and the city manager’s wife.
