Prosecutor Investigating Trump Not Intimidated By His Supporters' Attacks | Rachel Maddow | MSNBC
God speed and blessings and protection to this hero
What hero?
@R L T The Light shines on in the darkness, and the darkness did not understand it. John 1:5
@Lore Schell Do you have a regular job…or do you just charge for your sermons and lectures?
@R L T “You can’t fix stupid, but the red hats make it easy to identify.” – Many people.
I take immense pleasure in the fact a black woman got Georgia to turn democratic and it will be a black woman that puts Trump behind bars. Georgia has come a long way. There is still work to do but I have to give them credit for trying to right the injustices of the past and move into a better tomorrow.
@W Bush
Nobody cheated friend.
Trump lost. Deal with it and move on.
And don’t forget the NY State Attorney General, Letitia James, another intelligent and patient black woman. When the first opportunity presents itself, she is going to nail Mr. Trump’s “rump” to the wall.
@W Bush take your meds you delusional steaming deuce…
@Chris Powers Thanks for explaining. I already understood that from your initial remarks and it is great to be aware of how that looks. And I am so sad reading your and Que’s aggressive language back to W Bush and his violent language lets me see how far we have to go .
@Pauline Taylor there is a difference between having a discussion and being insulted. He made it clear he wanted to be a troll and provoke people. I said what I thought his issues were and my opinion of his attempts. People like that will always be around no matter how much progress we make. I’m disappointed that you believe a utopia is possible with people like this included. They will always be around the fringes of society. Trump got to where he was by being a bully. People should have stood up and returned his insults to show they will stand their ground.
Good for you, don’t let anyone stop you from the truth.
By saying your opponent is a racist? I see a serious lack of self-confidence in this woman. It’s probably because she was told over and over by the authority figures in her life that she would never amount to anything because of the color of her skin and because she’s not a man. SMH.
Good on her! I wish her all the best.
This is what integrity looks like.
Something completely absent in trumpublican politicians.
@HS talking to yourself again? It’s a pathetic look as you well know. Clearly something is wrong with you. I guess you didn’t get your participation trophy?
@HS Aren’t you supposed to be down at the Storm II planning meeting, Q-tip?
Democrats are THE most shameless amoral people you will find in America
@HS “You can’t fix stupid, but the red hats make it easy to identify.” – Many people.
@howard matts “You can’t fix stupid, but the red hats make it easy to identify.” – Many people.
Go get him!
That’s my gal! JUST DO IT! THAT’S YOUR CONSTITUTIONAL DUTY👍🏾
WOW What a QUEEN – LUV her
District Attorney Willis I applaud you Mam!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you black Georgians; we know the movement to get your voices heard made all the difference in the two Senatorial elections. Thank you.
Yes thank you Georgia, my parents place of birth!……love you!
When I started watching this, it never crossed my mind to consider her a black person.
I find it appropriate that an intelligent, professional woman of color is leading the investigation. Poetic justice at it’s best!
Yes, the irony is delicious… apart from the idiotic term “person of colour” (an offensive Americanism that the BBC is now foisting on people over here – we all have a colour but some people are just darker than others). If a black woman from the historically racist state of Georgia ends up being the one who gets your fascist ex-President thrown in the clink then I think that in a few years President Harris should declare the anniversary of that day a national holiday.
There’s another one in New York nipping on Trump’s heels. I hope they both get him. Different charges. Just stack on the prison sentences.
Yes it is.
Why’s it justice? Biden’s the racist, watched it first hand🤷🏾♂️
Definitely poetic justice. She’s an Intelligent. Black. Woman. Every category DT can’t stand.
Assertive and confident!!! She seems to be what we need to hold people accountable!
@R L T I’d recommend you seek MAGAT deprogramming assistance.
@David Galehouse You would be the very last person qualified to give ANYONE a recommendation. Go stink up Facebook.
@R L T I don’t have FB account. Sorry, doofus.
@David Galehouse Stinging response. You could get one sweetie…then you could stink it up over there. See how easy that was Outhouse?
Yes please
Democracy is still alive and kicking only because people like her do exist!
we’ll have what you’re smoking.
@john cunningham “You can’t fix stupid, but the red hats make it easy to identify.” – Many people.
“I don’t think it is an insult to remind me that I am a black woman.” WOW! This is what integrity and fearlessness look and sound like. You are an inspiration Fani Willis!!
@jon hanson “You can’t fix stupid, but the red hats make it easy to identify.” – Many people.
@howard matts “You can’t fix stupid, but the red hats make it easy to identify.” – Many people.
@John Fernandes “You can’t fix stupid, but the red hats make it easy to identify.” – Many people.
@Richard Johnson that the best that you could come up with? Are you a transgender on the women’s polo team?
@Richard Johnson Cant argue with you stupid to try impeach a man out of office but the cool part mean that Water Omar AOC Schumer Bush are now open be impeached from office . Thank you Dumucrats.
Right on! wow, it’s refreshing to see someone with some backbone and without hate in their heart just doing their job!!!
Remember to always form the hand-heart gesture for photos! It conveys that you are such a wonderfully kind and loving person! People who are kind, and believe that Love Is Love, always form the hand-heart gesture to receive the validating nods of approval from others! No matter how you behave behind closed doors, in view of others always form the hand-heart gesture, in order to send Love And Light, and to receive validation of your kindness! Oh my… you’re forming the hand-heart gesture; such a wonderfully aware person you are! You’re letting everyone know that you’re making the world a better place, as selfless service to all sentient beings, because you care! You MUST be such a loving, caring, selfless and compassionate sentient being! Unconditionally, of course!
God bless this women and all those who oppose racism.
By saying your opponent is a racist? I see a serious lack of self-confidence in this woman. It’s probably because she was told over and over by the authority figures in her life that she would never amount to anything because of the color of her skin and because she’s not a man. SMH.
You can’t keep browbeating us. We white men are not racists and we are not misogynists! LOL!! The problem is YOU!
@Wally Censorship that is because under nearly every rock there is racosm, bigotry and ignorance.
It surprises me that the human race as a species is still here.
@Ron Swanson that is pathetic.
Given she just described the levels of racist abuse she gets just for being a principled public servant who is black, your comment is perfect. I’m with you.
except no media covering the Asians being targeted in California? And there still is Antifa uprisings and riots. but everyone quiet.
There is no bigger threat to tRump than someone just doing his or her job.
This woman sounds awesome – brave, smart, moral, serious, fair. She’s exactly the type of woman Trump can’t stand, AND the type of person to take Trump and his cronies DOWN.
And she’s exactly the type of woman I do respect. Thank you for doing your job.
We the People support Fulton County, Georgia District Attorney Fani Willis!
