Come on man, you ain’t black if you don’t vote for Joe

[patriciabaldwin]

Fani lied to the church, she did not pay the 3 assistants the same money!

[scottcagle]

This is why no one watches Lame Stream Media anymore.

[torrencemonroe]

The gentleman getting interviewed about Fani's behavior, is defending her. He's completely clueless.

[DrVV]

Church time was not the time to talk about what she did.

[lindawilkinson]

So one person speaks on her behalf and that is the community speaking out directly for her? Bad reporting.

[peggy]

Wait you said the community responded. ONE person is not the community! Friggin media!

[Debby]

The FACT IS: She lied in church. In the house of God.

She said she paid them all the same. FACTS show she did not.

Blasphemy! And Karma is waiting to meet her good the next time.

[rickhamilton]

Yeah, she hired three people one of which she was screwing around with, and paid him way more than the other two. If you people were real reporters you would mention things like this instead of running stories that go along with the narrative she was being picked on because she is black. Had I lied to a judge like she did, I would be in prison.

[carlrhoads]

She didn't talk about screwing Nathan Wade at the church prior to hiring him. She's dishonest as they come.

[MoePeezy]

It amazes me of how clueless us blacks can be at times, they made it a moral thing? How about a lying to the court thing? Smh

[AnotherKid]

Apparently, not everyone who has a degree is intelligent.

[duncansmith]

WHAT? This fool says her comments weren't made against these defendants? Then, please, tell all, against which defendants were they made? Against all those other defendants in the other RICO case she is pursuing? Jeez.

[salt-team-six]

BOTH SHOULD HAVE BEEN TAKEN OFF THE CASE. THEY ARE BOTH GUILTY AND SHE WAS THE ONE IN CHARGE CALLING THE SHOTS. AS TO THE CHURCH COMMENTS EVERYONE KNOWS WHO SHE WAS TALKING ABOUT. THIS IS THE 2ND TIME FANI HAS BEEN IN TROUBLE WITH THE COURTS DUE TO HER LACK OF ETHICS

[zacharydavis]

This news org will cover Fani Willis and not disclose any facts... what a sad joke

[ralphdoakrd-tnsd]

He was still married! What kind of church thinks adultery is ok?

[gpainter]

They picked someone who obviously has no idea what he's talking about to comment. As far as the judge's ruling, he totally ignored a jurist lying under oath in a court of law implying that it's acceptable for them to lie which further diminishes confidence in an already crippled judicial system.

[buddhistelder]

That man should give back the millions that he was given since he didn't do his job. Not to fani, but to the people.

[thomaselliott]

She had an affair with a married man who also lies!

[chrisward]

Put her speechs and adultery to one side because her handling of public funds in itself is enough to get her kicked out!
