I'm not the only one to say Willis committed 'an error in judgement.'
D.A. Fani Willis had the courage, the grit, the experience, the facts, and the law to bring Trump to account.
It is so disappointing that an error in her judgment gave Trump’s team the opening they needed to have her removed from the case.

Targeting Kelly is one of those “this is why we’ll win” moments, bc it shows how politically impetuous this admin is.

There’s clearly no adult in the room to say “wait, maybe don’t go after the charismatic war hero turned literal astronaut who ran after his wife was a victim of political violence.”
Mark Kelly: "My wife, Gabby Giffords, meeting with her constituents, shot in the head. Six people killed around her, a horrific thing. She spent six months in the hospital. We know what political violence is and we know what causes it too, The statements that Donald Trump made incites others."
