Perpetual victim Fani Willis cries RACISM and SEXISM again, this time over common-sense election law



Fani Willis, the Democrat district attorney in Fulton County who tried and failed to throw President Donald Trump in prison, has found a new reason to rage publicly, level groundless accusations of racism, and masquerade as a victim of opposing forces.

To the chagrin of those Democrat officials and other race hustlers who demanded its veto, Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp (R) ratified legislation on Tuesday requiring nonpartisan elections for certain offices in the Peach State's five most populous counties — Fulton, DeKalb, Gwinnett, Cobb, and Clayton — effective Jan. 1, 2028.

It's supposedly 'racist' because the five district attorneys ... are black female Democrats.

Candidates running to become or remain county governing authorities, tax commissioners, superior court clerks, and solicitor-generals must run in nonpartisan elections. County sheriffs are exempt.

Under the law, district attorney candidates will no longer "be nominated by a political party or by a petition as a candidate of a political body or as an independent candidate." They will also forgo a nonpartisan primary, competing only in the general election.

During debate about the legislation in March, House Majority Leader Chuck Efstration (R) said, "The opinion from legislative counsel as it has been given to me [is] that it is constitutional and it treats certain local offices similar to how judges are classified at the local level so that partisan politics is minimized when providing basic local governmental services."

Efstration added, "There is no Republican line and a Democrat line when entering the courthouse."

"We're giving voters the opportunity to rid themselves of district attorneys who are more concerned with playing partisan games than prosecuting and delivering justice," said Republican Rep. Trey Kelley.

Democrats — evidently terrified that Georgia voters might cast ballots for individuals, not parties, when choosing officers of the law — are spewing their usual accusations and alarmist rhetoric, claiming, for instance, that the law is, according to Willis, "racist, sexist, and clearly unconstitutional."

It's supposedly "racist" because the five district attorneys in the affected counties are black female Democrats.

Willis said in a joint statement this week with DeKalb County DA Sherry Boston, "House Bill 369 is clearly unconstitutional, and we are appalled at Governor Brian Kemp's decision to sign it into law. This is a blatant attempt by Republicans to give their candidates an edge in Democratic counties by hiding their party affiliation from voters."

After hinting at their bigotry of low expectations regarding the aptitudes of voters in their counties, the Democrat duo promised to take "legal action to have this illegal bill overturned" and noted that "taxpayers will be the ones footing the bill to defend it in court."

Charlie Bailey, chairman of the Democratic Party of Georgia, previously suggested that the purpose of the law was to enable Republicans to "hide their party affiliation and confuse voters to have a hope of competing against the five duly elected Black women district attorneys that this bill was specifically designed to target."

Georgia Democrats received additional bad news this week concerning elections in 2028.

Kemp announced on Wednesday that state lawmakers will convene on June 17 to redraw the Peach State's congressional maps for 2028. While Republicans currently hold nine out of Georgia's 14 congressional districts, they could gain more ground — especially if the state corrects for recent court-ordered racial gerrymanders pursuant to the U.S. Supreme Courts' recent Callais ruling.

Loud-mouthed former Democrat mayor tries to resurrect political career in a new state — and a new party



One of the most scandal-ridden former mayors in America is attempting to resurrect her political career, moving to a new state and a new party.

On March 11, Tiffany Henyard — the former Democratic mayor of Dolton, Illinois, and former supervisor of nearby Thornton Township — announced in a Facebook video that she had moved to Fulton County, Georgia.

'You can't expect change without making a change.'

"Y'all ain't ready," she says confidently in the video, claiming her political opponents and members of the media are "obsessed" with her and that "corruption" was rampant in Dolton and Thornton Township.

In the video, she also teases a "big announcement" that she would be making a couple of days later.

To the surprise of very few, news soon broke that Henyard is running for political office yet again. This time, she is running to be a Fulton County commissioner — as a Republican, according to the Georgia secretary of state website.

The records indicate Henyard qualified to run on March 5. They also list her occupation as "business owner."

Four other candidates qualified to run for the District 5 commissioner's seat that same week, all as Democrats. The seat is currently held by Democrat Marvin Arrington Jr., who is running to be chair of the Board of Commissioners.

The 2026 Georgia primary election is scheduled for May 19.

Henyard claims in the video that change is needed in Fulton County. "The residents are tired," she says. "They're looking for a new leader. They're looking for new leadership."

Henyard also said she has a responsibility "to reach across the aisle, let alone walk across the aisle."

"You can't expect change without making a change," she notes in the video.

The Fulton County Republican Party did not respond to a request for comment from Blaze News.

Henyard, whose official X handle is @tif4president, leaves a trail of scandals in her wake. Her tenure as Dolton mayor was plagued with slashed budgets, accusations of lavish spending and other misconduct, an FBI investigation, and even an all-out brawl at a public meeting.

She subsequently lost the Democratic mayoral primary in February 2025, receiving just 536 votes out of the 4,446 ballots cast.

Many of her constituents celebrated her loss:

  • "The Wicked Witch of the West is dead! It’s over," said one.
  • "I praise God. That’s all I have to say. Ding, dong, the witch is gone!" said another.
  • "If I can do a backwards hand flip right now — and I’m 67 years old next month — I would definitely do it," added yet another resident.

Earlier this month, a judge ordered Henyard to pay a former landlord $10,000 in connection with a rental dispute in Illinois after she failed to appear in court. Her attorney indicated to WGN that she missed the hearing because she was out of state and that she denies wrongdoing.
