A day after Fulton County, Georgia, prosecutor Fani Willis rushed to a black church to accuse critics, including Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), of racism, Greene snapped back that by playing “the race card,” Willis is showing that she has “real problems.”
In a telephone interview from Iowa, where she is campaigning for former President Donald Trump, Greene said, “We all know that Democrats, when they’re in trouble, they go running to the closest black church and attack people and lie about people. So, she’s definitely guilty.”
Greene, who has called for a state investigation into Willis’s operation, said, “You can play the race card all you want, and you can quote me on that, but I’ll tell you right now, I know the good people down in Fulton County, and they get fed up with people like her because their communities are constantly overwhelmed with gangs and drugs and all kinds of crime in downtown Atlanta.”
And she added, “Fanny Willis is begging and pleading at church down there because she’s got real problems, real problems. But that was the first sign of it.”
Willis spoke Sunday at Big Bethel AME Church in Atlanta. During her address, made to sound like a letter to heaven, she defended her actions, which include hiring her alleged lover to probe Trump. She also criticized Greene.
“Wait a minute, God. You did not tell me as a woman of color it would not matter what I did — my motive, my talent, my ability, and my character would be constantly attacked,” Willis read from the letter she wrote. “Oh Lord, they’re going to be mad when they call us out on this nonsense. First thing they’ll say, ‘Oh, she’s going to play the racism card now.’”
She added that she didn’t want to be “like” those who have criticized her. “I never want to be a Marjorie Taylor Greene, who has never met me but has allowed her spirit to be filled with hate,” she said.
Greene told Secrets that she has asked the governor and attorney general to investigate Willis’s office, claiming she colluded with the White House and the Democrats’ Jan. 6 committee in developing RICO-style charges against Trump and his allies.
She said that Willis should face racketeering charges. “It appears they have colluded with the Jan. 6 committee, the White House, essentially the Department of Justice, to go after Joe Biden’s top political opponent, and they’re acting as the campaign arm of the Democrat Party on the backs of the Fulton County taxpayers,” Greene said.
She has asked the governor and state attorney general to investigate Willis and her contracting with special prosecutor Nathan Wade.

Greene said that an investigation into all state prosecutors is ongoing and that the governor wants to wait until that is completed.
But she wants a separate investigation. “When it comes to Fani Willis, I think she really should be investigated for suspecting that she’s truly violated her oath of office and possibly broken the law,” Greene said. The House Judiciary Committee in Washington has opened its own collusion investigation.
