Fans of Donald Trump did not react well on Friday morning when Judge Scott McAfee ruled that Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis can proceed with prosecuting the former president and his co-defendants on RICO charges related to attempted tampering with the 2020 presidential election vote totals.
The ruling, which put the trials on hold, did demand she cut ties with lead prosecutor Nathan Wade or step aside.
On the MAGA side of the coin, supporters of Trump were unhappy with the judge's ruling despite the scathing criticism he aimed at Willis by writing her defense of her actions had the "odor of mendacity."

In typical Trumpian fashion, one conservative took to X and wrote, "Fake judge."
"Fixed case!! Just like all the other witch hunt cases. Pure election interference!" accused one user who called themselves "Ultra Maga Wordsmith."
"Judge McAfee has ruled that Fani Willis can continue her racketeering case against Trump. I am absolutely SHOCKED that a guy who once worked for her, donated to her campaign and voted for her, also ruled in her favor. I'm totally shocked," sneered Trump supporter Brenden Dilley.
Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-TX) who served in the White House under Trump, went off the rails, writing: "Another POLITICALLY MOTIVATED Judge!! Fani Willis should be DISBARRED, her boyfriend prosecutor should be FIRED, and ALL CHARGES NEED TO BE DROPPED! Americans are SICK of theses endless Witch Hunts! ELECTION INTERFERENCE!!"
Avid Trump supporter Ryan Fournier — who is not a lawyer — complained, "Appeals should be made. This is tainted on all levels."
That, in turn, led iser J Kash, Maga Queen to suggest darker forces at play writing: "Judge McAfee didn’t want to D I E."
"Georgia continues to disappoint. Totally corrupt," stated Tami Hudson.
