Fani Willis lashes out at critics for ‘oversexualizing’ black women, insists she’s ‘thriving’
A defiant Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis unleashed on her critics Thursday, accusing them of oversexualizing black women and trying to “humiliate” her.
Willis, 52, who has been under fire over an affair she had with Nathan Wade, a former top prosecutor on her spraꦡwling election racketeering case, was adamant that she is thriving despite the onslaught against her.
“I spend no time thinking about them. I’m too busy celebrating our fineness, our beauty, our success, our wisdom, but most of all our hearts to be bothered by attacks from anyone,” to a lively crowd at the Turner Chapel AME Church in Georgia
“See, that’s why they mad. Because while they over there running [their] mouth, I’m over here paying them no mind, thriving [sic],” she added during her speech in front of the African Methodist Episcopal Church.
Willis then admonished her detractors and explained that she was tired of them mispronouncing her 🍬name and accused them of trafficki✨ng in racism and sexism.
“I’ve lived⛦ the experience ꧂of a black woman who is attacked and over-sexualized,” she vented bluntly.
“🍒See, I’m so tired of hearing these idiots call my name as ‘Fanny,’ in a way to attempt to humiliate me. Because, like silly schoolboys, the name reminds them of a woman’s rear, of her behind.”
Fani underscored that her name is pronounced “FAHN-ee.”
Her remarks come on the heels of former Mayor Rudy Giuliani reportedly calling her a “ho” during a stop at the ReAwaken America tour.
Guiliani is one of the defendants in her sprawling💮 election racketeering case as is former President Donald Trump.
At one point during her speech Thursday, Willis appeared to ding House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), who is probing her office’s use of federal funds.
“We have politicians that spend no time doing their elected purpose. In fact, we got a clown in Washington DC who’s been elected for the purpose to make his community safer and pass laws. But he’s been sitting there for 17 years and passed zero laws,” she said without mentioning his name.
Just over half a dozen plaintiffs in that case have petitioned the Georgia Court of Ap🐲peals to disqualify her from the case due to the affair with Wade.
The Georgia appeals court is scheduled to hear an appeal over her overseeing the case💎 on O꧒ct. 4.
Previously, Fulton County Superior Court Judge Sc𒁏ott McAfee effectively ruled that Willis could stay on the case if Wade stepped꧟ down, which he ultimately did back in March.
The plaintiffs are appealing that decision.
Wade recently sat down for an interview with CNN 𝓡that aire♎d Wednesday during which he was blocked by one of his handlers from explaining when exactly his tryst with Willis began.
Both Willis and Wade previously maintained that their romance began before his hiring in November 2021 to ꦓhelp spearhead the major racketeering case.
However multiple witnesses have come forward with claims to the contradictory. Of particular focus for critics were Wade’s alleged expensive gifts to Willis and lav🔜ish vacations after he wꦫas hired.
Willis is now facing a handful of investigations in the Georgia state legislature and f🀅rom 🎀Republicans in Congress looking into potential issues of federal funds.
“My focus is always on justice and holding anyone who breaks the law accountable,” Willis stressed. “I work hard every day to serve all of my constituents without exception and to ensure that those who break the law in our community are held accountable.”
Because of the protracted appeal, a trial start date has not yet been set in Trump’s 10-count indictment out of Fulton County.
Trump is facing 54 criminal counts spanning three separate indictments. He was found guilty last mo༒nth on 34 counts in the hush money case out of Manhattan.
The former president has denied wrongdoing and pleaded not guilty to all charges pending🌃 against him♉.
