D.A. Fani Willis Vows To Press On With Trump Indictment Despite ‘Idiots’ Trying To Mock Her

“I promise you, I don’t concern myself with them,” she told a congregation in Georgia. “I am too busy working."

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis shot back at critics and said she was “so tired” of “idiots” trying to humiliate her for prosecuting former President Donald Trump in a state case alleging election interference in 2020.

“I live the experience of a Black woman who is attacked and oversexualized,” Willis told a church congregation in Marietta, Georgia, on Thursday. “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.”

The district attorney’s investigation led to an indictment last year of Trump and 18 co-defendants in a sweeping racketeering case accusing the group of conspired to change the 2020 presidential vote count in the state.

Trump and his allies, especially co-defendant Rudy Giuliani, have continued to attack Willis while maintaining their innocence. At times, they have called her derogatory names. Giuliani called her a “ho” during a right-wing event last week, and both he and Trump have pronounced Willis’ name as “Fanny” during events. Her name is pronounced “FAH-nee.”

“Fani the ho,” Giuliani said at a Christian nationalist conference in Michigan. “I could drop the ‘ho’ part if she’d just quit and go away.”
