'Reckless': Georgia Republican Knocks GOP Calls To Defund Fani Willis
Georgia House Speaker Jon Burns (R) went after fellow Republicans over their calls to defund Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis after her office indicted former President Donald Trump earlier this month.
“A select few are calling to defund a duly-elected district attorney of this state and her office in an attempt to interfere with the criminal justice system,” Burns wrote in a letter to the state’s GOP caucus on Wednesday.
“Regardless of your views of this case, removing this funding would also have the unintended consequence of causing a delay or complete lack of prosecution of other serious offenses like murder, rape, armed robbery, gang prosecution, battery, etc.,” he continued.
Burns went on to warn those concerned with “serious crime levels” in Atlanta that such a move to defund Willis would be harmful to public safety.
“It is unfortunate some would knowingly suggest such a reckless course of action despite the devastating effects it would have,” he wrote.
The Republican, earlier in the letter, referred to the threat of Hurricane Idalia on his state.
“It is an unfortunate reality of today’s politics that theatrics sometimes garner more attention than genuine human needs like those that will unfold today in south and coastal Georgia,” wrote Burns.
