The father of Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis took the stand on Friday, perhaps doing more harm than good as his daughter fights for her political life amid allegations of romantic nepotism, abu sing tax dollars, and lying under oath.
John Floyd III, a retired attorney and former member of the Black Panther Party, testified that he was “concerned” about Willis’ safety in the days after she charged former President Donald Trump and 18 co-defendants with felony racketeering. According to Floyd, he spent his days “Iooking out of every window” and “walking around the house” after reprobates allegedly spray-painted epithets on Willis’ home.
“Somebody sprayed the B-word and the N-word on the house, and I don’t think my daughter even knew about that,” he said at one point.
MY MIL DRESSED AS A WITCH FOR HALLOWEEN — AND NOW MY KID IS TR.AUMATlZE.D!
It sounds like such a tough situation! Halloween is supposed to be fun, but I can completely see how this went too far, especially for a young child. Here’s a possible approach that might help calm her fears and explain the situation:
First, try gently talking to your daughter and validating her feelings. Tell her it’s okay to feel scared and that even grown-ups can be spooked sometimes. Then, explain that Halloween is a time when people dress up to look silly or different from how they usually do – even adults! You could say, “Grandma was just pretending to be a witch, like when you dress up as a princess or a superhero.”
If she’s still worried, maybe go through some pictures together, like showing her photos of grandma without the costume. You could even do a fun little makeup session at home where you both take turns “transforming” each other, so she can see that makeup and costumes are just ways to play pretend.
Later, maybe you and your mother-in-law can arrange a calm, positive visit where she can be herself, maybe even in “happy” colors instead of the dark ones that might remind your daughter of the witch costume. Hopefully, it will help replace those scary memories with warmer ones, and grandma can be back in her good books soon!
