Fani Flees Fulton County Primary Debate, Leaves Opponent Facing Empty Podium
30th April 2024
The debate was held by the Atlanta Press Club and was the first Democratic Party debate in the county. It was supposed to feature Ms. Willis and her Democrat challenger Christian Wise Smith, an attorney and author. However, Ms. Willis was absent from her podium when the debate began, leaving Mr. Smith alone on the stage. After providing a brief introduction of Mr. Smith, the moderator announced that Ms. Willis “declined to participate in the debate and is represented by an empty podium.”
*sigh* Not ‘podium’ but ‘lectern’. Geez, guys, figure it out.
