Political Rewind: What The Ga. GOP Convention Indicates About 2022; Critical Race Theory Controversy
Monday on Political Rewind: Gov. Brian Kemp received a raucous welcome at the GOP state convention over the weekend. He heard plenty of booing from Republican activists still angry he did not do more to support President Donald Trump\u2019s efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election. The jeers were mixed with the cheers of those ready to support him for a second term in 2022.\n\nHowever, Kemp was not the only state official to receive a negative response for his stance on lies spread by Trump about last November's election. Convention-goers gave Attorney General Chris Carr a rough reception. They also voted to censure Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger. Our panel looks at what all of the means for the direction of the Republican Party heading into important 2022 races.\n\nAdditionally, new fuel for the fire was added to controversy over the teaching of critical race theory in Georgia classrooms continues, even as few seem able to explain exactly what the theory says.\n\nPanelists:\n\nRana Cash \u2013 Executive Editor, Savannah Morning News\n\nRiley Bunch \u2013 State House Reporter, CNHI News\n\nJim Galloway \u2013 Retired Lead Columnist\n\nMariela Romero \u2013 Journalist and Regional Community Empowerment Director, Univision
