MSNBC host Symone Sanders-Townsend blasted the Trump team and the ex-president’s co-defendants after Georgia Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee ruled on Friday that Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis can continue to prosecute her sweeping RICO and election subversion case.
“Morning Joe” Scarborough, talking about the decision, noted that Donald Trump is “trying to end American democracy.”
“Not, ‘as we know it,’ let’s say, trying to end American democracy, period,” Scarborough said.
“They tried to steal an election,” Sanders-Townsend declared. “To be clear, that is what they did: they tried to steal an election.”
“There was a case, and there is a case in Georgia because they tried to steal an election. And then, to try to get rid of that case, they tried to distract us with salacious gossip that we all watched because it’s very compelling daytime television.”

“The judge then says it does not rise to the level of disqualification. They thought that Fani Willis and this case was going to be an easy target,” she continued. “They thought that they could take her out. They thought that the system was not going to side with her. They thought because she had the audacity to speak accountability, she had to be silenced.”
“Well, Fani Willis is still here, the Georgia election meddling case is still ongoing, and at this point, it is the only case where anyone has pled out guilty.”
