An MSNBC host slammed a Georgia prosecutor in the Fani Willis misconduct hearing, arguing he was difficult to watch in a withering bit of commentary.
MSNBC host Katy Tur slammed Georgia prosecutor Adam Abbate on Friday for his performance on behalf of embattled Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, asking if that was the « best » the county could do.
A Georgia state judge heard closing arguments Friday on allegations that Willis’ romantic relationship with special prosecutor Nathan Wade benefited her financially and should disqualify her from the election interference case against former President Trump. Abbate said efforts to remove Willis were tantamount to harassment.
Multiple news outlets reported on Abbate’s halting speaking style during the course of the hearing. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution was one such news outlet to note the « long pauses and halting answers as he at times struggled to answer questions from Judge Scott McAfee » and even suggested that Willis at times « seemed eager to step up to the podium and argue the matter herself.
