Fulton County Judge Scott McAfee criticizes District Attorney Fani Willis for making racial comments during a speech at a church. Willis accused political opponents of using the 'race card' against her and co-defendant Mike Roman.
Fulton County Judge Scott McAfee admonished Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis for casting “racial aspersions” toward co-defendant Mike Roman during a January speech at Big Bethel AME Church. In McAfee’s ruling, he took issue with race comments Willis made in January. While in church, Willis said she hired three prosecutors, one of whom is black, referencing Wade.
She further stated that the accusations against her and Wade were leveled because political opponents were using the “race card.” “Who’s playing the race card when they only question one? Isn’t them playing the race card?” she asked. “I’ve been doing almost 30 years.” More at issue, instead of attributing the criticism to a criminal accused’s general aversion to being convicted and facing a prison sentence, the District Attorney ascribed the effort as motivated by “playing the race card”
