Political scientist reacts to Fani Willis testimony on ability to lead Georgia election interference case
In dramatic fashion, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis took the stand to defend her ability to lead the Georgia election interference case last week.
Willis took aim at those who, she testified, are trying to discredit her and Nathan Wade, the prosecuting attorney she hired to serve on the case with whom she shared a romantic relationship.
Willis called the motions to disqualify her “contrary to democracy.” Willis and Wade have acknowledged they had a “personal relationship” but have denied any improper conduct.
Tammy Greer is a professor of political science and director of BIS in social entrepreneurship at the Andrew Young School of Policy Studies at Georgia State University.
She watched Willis’ testimony and joined WABE’s “Morning Edition” to discuss a few of her takeaways.
