Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis lashed out at Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) during a Sunday address to churchgoers at Big Bethel AME.
Greene recently took legal action against Willis, calling for a formal investigation over Willis’s alleged affair with prosecutor Nathan Wade, who was appointed as a special prosecutor in her investigation into Donald Trump.
Wade was reportedly paid over $600,000 in taxpayer funds by Willis.
Willis indirectly addressed the allegations during her first public remarks since the news broke.
The Fulton County DA has repeatedly attempted to portray herself and Wade as victims of racial discrimination, even declaring, “You can’t expect black women to be perfect.”
Willis claimed that Greene has become “filled with hate.”
“Dear God, I do not want to be like those that attacked me. 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.
“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 touched on the incident where she was “swatted,” which Greene was also a target of on many occasions.
“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,” she said.

“That is conduct that is wrong and intolerable, and as a leader I shall not stand for it. How did such a woman come to think that it was normal and normalized that another woman was worthy of such cruelty?” Willis said of Greene.
Greene filed a criminal complaint this week against Willis over the Wade scandal.
Greene filed the complaint with Republican Governor Brian Kemp and Attorney General Chris Carr filed the complaint, asking both to investigate whether the Democrat mixed pleasure with politics when she paid the special prosecutor approximately $700,000
Willis also portrayed both herself and Wade as victims of racial discrimination.
“Lord, your flawed, hard-headed, and imperfect child, I’m a little confused. I appointed three special counselors. Is my right to do? Paid them all the same hourly rate? They only each had one,” she said.
“I hired one white woman, a good personal friend and great lawyer. A superstar, I tell you. I hired one white man, brilliant, my friend, and a great lawyer. And I hired one black man, another superstar, a great friend, and a great lawyer.”
“Oh Lord, they’re going to be mad when I call them out on this nonsense. First thing they say, ‘Oh, she’s going to play the race card now.’ But no God, isn’t it them who’s playing the race card when they only question one?” Willis went on to say.
“Isn’t it them playing the race card when they constantly think I need someone from some other jurisdiction in some other state to tell me how to do a job I’ve been doing almost 30 years.”
