Daily Wire host Michael Knowles joined Megyn Kelly on her eponymous podcast on Wednesday to discuss a recent New York Times piece on the scandal surrounding Fulton County‚ Georgia‚ District Attorney Fani Willis. Willis had at least two trips paid for by special prosecutor Nathan Wade after she already hired him to oversee her RICO case against former President Donald Trump‚ according to court filings. The judge overseeing the RICO case against Trump said on Monday that Willis could be disqualified from prosecuting the former president over the allegations. Following the backlash to the revelations laid out in the court documents‚ New York Times reporters Clyde McGrady and Katie Glueck published an article Wednesday morning titled‚ “Why the Case Against Fani Willis Feels Familiar to Black Women.” Kelly read sections of the piece before she and Knowles dissected the race-centered defense of Willis’ personal relationship with the special prosecutor. Kelly began by pointing out that according to his NYT profile‚ McGrady focuses “on the ways race and identity shape American culture.” “That makes sense because this is not a factual piece‚” Kelly said. “This is an imagined piece by somebody who only sees the world through the racial lens.” The NYT piece reads: “Interviews with a dozen Black women at varying stages of their careers found them to be painfully conflicted about Ms. Willis’s situation and her treatment in the public eye.” “To many‚ there is something galling about watching Mr. Trump and his allies attack Ms. Willis over a consensual romantic relationship when he has faced accusations of sexual misconduct and assault‚” the article continues. “Mr. Trump was recently ordered by a Manhattan jury to pay $83.3 million to the writer E. Jean Carroll for defaming her after she accused him of a decades-old rape. A civil jury also found Mr. Trump liable for sexually abusing Ms. Carroll.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP Knowles responded to the report‚ saying that initially‚ he kept an “open mind” about the accusations against Willis‚ but then Willis gave a speech at a black church in Atlanta‚ focusing on her race as the reason she was being criticized for her relationship with Wade. “These corrupt politicians only play the race card when they have no other card to play‚” Knowles told Kelly‚ adding‚ “By this point in this process‚ we would’ve heard the best evidence for the defense of this relationship‚ and we have heard the best evidence is ‘one time she bought him a short flight and also she’s black.’” “And a woman‚” Kelly interjected. “I think that’s important to Nathan Wade.” Knowles went on to argue that it is correct to point out that public officials are put under the microscope for every detail of their lives‚ but disagreed that politicians are scrutinized more based on their race and gender. “Public servants and even corrupt politicians like Fani Willis are held to a higher standard‚ that’s true‚” he said. “They do face more scrutiny‚ their personal lives are put under the microscope‚ that’s true — whether they’re black‚ whether they’re white‚ whether they’re men‚ whether they’re women.” “We’re making light of this little love affair‚” the Daily Wire host added. “But first of all‚ it does involve taxpayer money. Second of all‚ it’s deeply corrupt. And third of all‚ let’s not lose the forest for the trees here: we’re talking about an unprecedented political prosecution of the leader of the opposition.”

House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Mark Green (R-TN) announced on Wednesday that he is retiring from Congress because the institution and the country in general is largely broken beyond repair. “At the start of the 118th Congress‚ I promised my constituents to pass legislation to secure our borders and to hold Secretary Mayorkas accountable‚” Green‚ a physician‚ said in a statement. “Today‚ with the House having passed H.R. 2 and Secretary Mayorkas impeached‚ it is time for me to return home. In the last few months‚ in reading the writings of our Framers‚ I was reminded of their intent for representatives to be citizen-legislators‚ to serve for a season and then return home.” “Our country — and our Congress — is broken beyond most means of repair‚” he continued. “I have come to realize our fight is not here within Washington‚ our fight is with Washington. As I have done my entire life‚ I will continue serving this country — but in a new capacity.” Green thanked his family for their support while during his numerous years of serving the U.S.‚ including while serving in the U.S. Military. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP “I also want to thank the constituents of Tennessee’s 7th District for the unbelievable honor to serve them in Congress — whose vote of confidence was not only evident in the wide margins in each election‚ but also without ever having a single primary opponent in my three elections‚” he said. “And finally‚ I want to thank my staff‚ whose unmatched hard work‚ dedication‚ and talent have resulted in our many victories and one of the lowest turnover rates in Congress.”

One House lawmaker‚ a Democrat‚ voted “present” on Wednesday for a resolution condemning rape and sexual violence committed by Hamas in its war against Israel following the group’s terrorist attacks in October. Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) stood out as the only member to cast a vote neither in support nor against the measure that otherwise received broad support from both Democrats and Republicans. In House floor remarks‚ Tlaib said the resolution “rightfully denounces any sexual violence by Hamas‚” but she claimed to be “disturbed” by how it lacks similar language for how Israeli forces allegedly treat Palestinians. We all have a responsibility to denounce sexual violence in all forms‚ regardless of who is responsible. War crimes cannot justify more war crimes. This resolution falls well short of also acknowledging the sexual abuse of Palestinians. pic.twitter.com/T4kdm1WXxk — Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib (@RepRashida) February 14‚ 2024 “We all have a responsibility to denounce sexual violence in all forms‚ regardless of who is responsible. War crimes cannot justify more war crimes‚” she added in a post to X. The resolution‚ introduced by Rep. Lois Frankel (D-FL)‚ “condemns acts of rape and sexual violence as weapons of war‚ including those acts committed by Hamas on and since October 7‚ 2023. Today‚ with overwhelming bipartisan support‚ we've passed my resolution in the House condemning Hamas's use of rape and sexual violence on and since October 7th. Our message is loud and clear: these acts are not tools of war‚ and we condemn them. pic.twitter.com/OR3hKul12c — Rep. Lois Frankel (@RepLoisFrankel) February 14‚ 2024 Among other provisions‚ the resolution also “calls on all nations to criminalize rape and sexual assault‚ and hold accountable all perpetrators of sexual violence‚ including state and non-state armed groups.” The House clerk tally showed 418 members‚ including 210 Republicans and 208 Democrats‚ voted in support of the resolution. Tlaib‚ a member of the leftist “Squad” who is the sole Palestinian American member of Congress‚ voted “present” while a dozen members did not vote. Some members criticized Tlaib for her “present” vote‚ the latest in a pattern of the congresswoman opposing resolutions geared toward expressing support for Israel‚ and following a censure last year for her response to the deadly attacks by Hamas. “For more than 129 days‚ Israel has defended itself from Hamas’ terror. Hamas committed despicable crimes on October 7th. It’s shameful [Tlaib] wouldn’t support a resolution condemning rape and sexual violence committed by Hamas‚” Rep. Kevin Hern (R-OK) said in a post to X. “The House just delivered a strong rebuke of Hamas’ use of rape and sexual violence as a weapon of war! Disturbingly‚ what should have been a unanimous vote was ruined by [Tlaib] who couldn’t bring herself to condemn these heinous acts‚” said Rep. Beth Van Duyne (R-TX).
