Judge Scott McAfee’s ruling into whether to disqualify Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis in the case into former President Donald Trump’s alleged election interference sparked outrage from MAGA members on Friday.
McAfee ruled that Willis could choose between staying on the case herself or keeping attorney Nathan Wade as a prosecutor. Attorneys representing Trump’s co-defendants argued the relationship between Willis and Wade should lead to her disqualification, alleging the pair benefited from taxpayer dollars. Willis, however, maintained that she engaged in no wrongdoing and that their relationship began only after he was hired.
Conservative commentator Benny Johnson said during a livestream discussing the ruling that it was “not the result we were looking for.”
“We were looking for total and complete disqualification,” he said.
Conservative pundit Tim Pool wrote in a post to X, formerly Twitter, “This judge is a coward.”
They have to act outraged or the legitimate outrage of democrats and progressives will make them look even worse. It’s vital they maintain every aspect of their alternate reality or it all crumbles.
