Fani Willis Speaks After Allegations of Paying Lover to Prosecute Trump: ‘You Cannot Expect Black Women to Be Perfect’

WILLIS: “All the glory I’ve received, it’s His grace, not a perfect me. We are at a time in history, people — hear me on this — we are at a time in history when you can no longer sit back and just let other folks do. You cannot expect black women to be perfect and save the world. The Lord is completing us. We are not perfect. We need your prayers. We need to be allowed to stumble. We need grace. With that kind of support, we will move mountains and do Jesus’ will, stumbling all the way.
(Applause)
So this flawed, hard-headed, imperfect child has a message for each of you today: Please find a way to do your extraordinary, God-given assignment, and make this community a better place for all of his people. See, it is never about who you are, it is always about the great [inaudible]. See, we are all flawed, sinners, unworthy, imperfect, damaged, but we are qualified upon His calling. You can find common ground with people of all different ideologies if you simply commit yourself to being obedient and steadfast in your efforts and his word. If you commit yourself, God will turn your hard-headed self into the extraordinary for His Kingdom. Thank you.”
