Defence of Fani Willis ‘infantilising’ and ‘insulting’

Reason Associate Editor Billy Binion says people using Fani Willis being a black woman and a divorced mother as a way of defending her is “infantilising” and “insulting.” The Georgia prosecutor who trying former US President Donald Trump for seeking to overturn his 2020 election defeat acknowledged on Friday to having a personal relationship with another lawyer on the criminal case but denied it tainted the prosecution. “I just don’t understand why being a divorced mother, a black woman whatever the case may be why that means we have to hold her to a lower standard,” Mr Binion told Sky News Australia host Rita Panahi. “That seems very infantilising and insulting. “Fani Willis is in a very powerful position.”
