Former Democratic National Committee chair Donna Brazile conceded that Fulton County DA Fani Willis showed “bad judgment” in having a relationship with prosecutor Nathan Wade and suggested the public attention she was getting “comes with the territory.”
“I can’t sit in judgment of her as a human being, but I can say, in terms of her role as a public prosecutor, yeah, she showed bad judgment,” Brazile told The New York Times in a piece published on Wednesday. She said she was always careful to separate her career and personal life with a “bright red line.”
Bazile also argued that Willis faced “vitriol” and “racial animus” as a Black woman, but admitted the attention Willis was getting was expected for someone prosecuting a high-profile case
in opposition to former President Trump.
Brazile told the media outlet, “She is a public official and is subject to public scrutiny.” “Comes with the territory.”
EX-PROSECUTOR SAYS THAT TRUMP PROSECUTOR FANI WILLIS’ WHITE HOUSE MEETINGS GUARANTEE “VERY DEEP INVESTIGATION.”
Regarding the charges against Willis, the New York Times spoke with a number of Black women who expressed their “painfully conflicted feelings about Ms. Willis’ situation and her treatment in the public eye.”
According to the paper titled “Why the Case Against Fani Willis Feels Familiar to Black Women,” the majority of the people surveyed thought Willis shouldn’t be taken out of the case.
