In case you haven’t had your daily dose of hilarious, allow me to provide you with a little something guaranteed to tickle your funny bone and perhaps lead to some much needed gut-busting laughter. Today’s medicine comes to you and I courtesy of Fulton County District Attorney, Fani Willis, who is rather p***ed off with folks mispronouncing her name, which is, according to her, “Fah’-nee” and not “Fanny.”
According to The Daily Wire, Willis is claiming that “idiots” are purposefully saying her name wrong because, and I quote, “it reminds them of a woman’s rear.” You can’t make this stuff up, man. Reality is far, far stranger than fiction.
The Democratic DA, who has charged former President Donald Trump with RICO crimes, spoke to a crowd of supporters on Thursday at a black church outside of Atlanta and tied the mispronunciation of her name to attacks on black women, whom she says are “oversexualized,” POLITICO reported.
“I live the experience of a black woman who is attacked and oversexualized,” Willis claimed. “See, I’m so tired of hearing these idiots call my name as ‘fanny’ in a way to attempt to humiliate me because, like silly school boys, the name reminds them of a woman’s rear, of her behind.”
Uh, what?
I don’t know a single person who has said this woman’s name as “Fanny” with the intent of humiliating her or sexualizing her. Seeing as how she was knocking boots with her own special prosecutor while also using the money she paid said individual to pay for her vacation, I’d say if anyone is sexualizing her at all, it’s because she did it first.
The name “Fanny” is an old fashioned name. I, of course, being 40 going on 14, thought it was hilarious because it is a term for “butt,” but who cares? I certainly never made it a big deal in anything I wrote about her, nor have I seen anyone else do so. I think Willis doing her best to make folks think she’s a victim in order to take attention away from the corrupt acts she and her staff have engaged in since launching a criminal case against former President Donald Trump.

Now, of course, Trump made fun of her name, because, well, he’s Trump. Also, this is a woman who is, by all accounts, wrongfully prosecuting him for a crime he never committed. It’s understandable to punch back.
Trump joked about Willis’ first name in March when he made a point to pronounce it correctly before saying, “It’s spelled ‘Fani’ like your ass.”
“When she became DA, she decided to add a little French and it’s ‘FAH’-nee,” he added.

Willis has been scrutinized for allegedly showing favoritism to her former lover Nathan Wade, whom she appointed as special prosecutor in her Trump election interference case. Judge Scott McAfee said the district attorney acted with a “tremendous lapse in judgment,” and he found an appearance of “impropriety,” but added that the defendants had “failed to meet their burden” of proving a conflict of interest based on Willis and Wade’s romantic relationship.
Wade resigned as special prosecutor after the judge ruled that either he or Willis had to leave the case against Trump. A Georgia appellate court is set to hear a challenge to McAfee’s ruling that allowed Willis to continue on the case. Willis has maintained strong support from Democrat voters as she cruised to a victory in the primary election last month, taking 87% of the vote.
Again, I think Willis is making this part of her fight against being removed from the case she’s supposed to be prosecuting against Trump, but it’s both lame and stupid, so yeah, take a hike, lady.
