Laken Riley’s father says he’s angry his “angel’s” death is being politicized

Laken Riley’s father sits down for an interview with NBC about his daughter’s tragic killing. He is angry that her tragic death is being politicized. 

But first, lawmakers are still looking for answers after electric vehicle manufacturer Rivian paused construction indefinitely on a $5 billion plant planned for Georgia.  

Rep. Tim Fleming, (R) Covington joins the ‘Politically Georgia’ podcast to discuss his disappointment over the news. He says that he’s looking for more transparency as the plant was being built in his district. 

On the other side of the aisle, State Senator Derek Mallow, (D) Savannah, talks with the co-hosts about how Democratic legislators are playing hardball to force Republicans to back a measure for a full expansion of Medicaid.
