Fani Willis, the district attorney in Georgia's Fulton County, called out Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) by name in a sermon on Sunday.
While speaking at Big Bethel AME Church in Atlanta, Willis choked up as she spoke about her struggles as district attorney. She is prosecuting a high-profile case against former President Donald Trump and other co-conspirators for alleged election interference. She was also recently accused of having an affair with a member of her team.
"I don't think either of us at the time had an idea what I would inherit or gain as I became a DA," she said, pausing to collect herself. "A divorced single mom who doesn't belong to the right social groups, doesn't necessarily come from the right family, doesn't have the right pedigree. The assignment was just too high for lowly me."
"Seven of the highest profile cases in the United States going to land right here?" she asked. "No, please make it stop. God, you forgot to mention that my life and the life of my family would be threatened so regularly, I now think it's not normal if I don't have two death threats a week. God, you did not tell me that people would call me the N-word more than they call me Fani."
Willis noted that Greene had targeted her by filing a complaint over the alleged affair with prosecutor Nathan Wade.
"Dear God, I do not want to be like those that attacked me," she said. "I never want to be a Marjorie Taylor Greene who has never met me but has allowed her spirit to be filled with hate."
"How does this woman, who has the honor of being a leader in my state, how is it that she has not reached out to me?" Willis asked. "She can tell me, I don't agree with anything you're doing, but I do not agree with people threatening your life or the life of your family."
