Thank you for coming out with this corruption. Black people need to wake up and stop sticking up for people based on skin color.

[@queenadwoa9339]

Rep. Mainor has been through so much due to the negligence and corruption of those in place to protect and serve. I have a lot of respect for her switching parties and understanding what our community really needs, shes an effective lawmaker and a level-headed leader. Thank you, Rep. Mesha Mainor.

[@RedBunnybaby]

They were too obsessed and fixated on trying to prove that Young Thug and YSL is a criminal street gang. Fani and the rest of the Atlanta DA is a criminal organization and should be charged with a Rico.

Here we have a rational Republican battling the beast from within the gates of Hell. I have so much respect for someone who can see EVIL and then move away from it because most Democrats will let their Ideology carry through those gates.

[@JayVTheGreat]

👏👏👏

​​@@patrickswaggershe's something different I was not about to watch only because I am burned out on the actions that horribly, affect the people. That Beast is dangerous! I am totally appreciative that I had decided to listen to Mrs Manior.❤

[@michaellovelace8995]

She left the democrat party because they do nothing for her community. She knows what's up

This black woman wants Trump and him being at the top of the ticket is why the republicans will get my vote.

[@sonyaphillips4027]

A gracious intelligent professional woman like Rep. Mainor, should not have to go through all of this B.S., but I thank her for being so brave and courageous to bring this to the public eye. I also think her for telling other women the danger that they could be in, with information so open to criminals. Sending prayers and blessings to Rep. Mainor in the name of Jesus Christ 😇🙏🇱🇷👏

[@user-bg5yy5nc8o]

What an amazing woman and amazing interview. She is exactly exactly what people want even if they don’t know themselves. We all have the opportunity to make choices in life. You go young lady.

[@karensimmons1572]

Trump 2024!!!!

[@decorbuddy5957]

Wow it's so refreshing to see to adult black women have a great discussion on politics and for the betterment of black folks and their children. Most interviews are so nasty and lean the conversation to one party. We need more of these critical thinking women of color.🙏🏽

We need to protect this beautiful woman of such high class.If I lived in Georgia I would be sleeping at the foot of her driveway and a flea wouldn't get by and my friends would be standing right by me.Wheres all the men in that county ohh i forgot Phony Willis locked them all up !

[@user-cf8md3xc1z]

I like her, she has a strong faith, thinks for herself and wish she represented my community. We have the same values.

[@LoudMagazineDigital]

this was a great interview. We all know what's gong on I Fulton County and Fani along with everyone that runs that county should resign

[@victorforeman7056]

Very well spoken sensible thinking person. A definitely root for her

Great intelligent woman!!!! Not political but to vote to further your community!

[@Anamoly4U]

I don't know this journalist political leanings, but I know it's a testament to her journalistic integrity that I don't know from this interview!! Fair and honest interview, in a world where journalist wear their political leanings on their sleeves. This was a Tim Russert throwback interview! The world needs more journalist like you!

[@domk2993]

💯

[@gregorylrodgers244]

Sorry for her Miss Mainor. This is such a mess and a mishandling of Miss Mainor's case. Its almost as if Miss Fani Willis stage the foot note of the Trump trial in Ga. in hopes that Miss Mainor doesn't bankrupt the Fani Firm. The pieces are falling to good. SMH.

[@domk2993]

Shit crazy. Fani is corrupt if you ask me. All she cares about is convicting Trump so she gets re-elected. It’s all political IMO. Not about the ppl. Sad.

Great woman!

[@user-tc7df1en3p]

So will Mainor get in the president race ? She appears to be a great person for the position. I love her conversation following her answers and she is a pleasant trophy.

[@bonnieross4974]

She is so right ..

You sound UnGodly and judgmental. Promoting violence, racism, hate groups, adultery, fake Trump Bibles is Not Godly.

[@April-bu1th]

Well said.

[@howardthompson2190]

Smart,beautiful woman.

[@guillermovazquez7836]

God bless this lady

[@pewee2496]

I think you are an honest, level headed Representative and I hope you are in again! But church doesn't make a person, those who "are not" in a "church" per say, are more loving and kind than many who go 3-4 times weekly! I'm a living witness to this! AND CREATOR GOD IS ONLY UNCONDITIONAL LOVE!

[@thetayoung3066]

She understands what her job as a representative is, and believe it or not the only difference between us was how we would solve the problems.

[@carollee9941]

I wish her all the best she is a breath of fresh air for Fulton County. Very smart and honest. I saw her with judgeJoe Brown and she impressed me with her ideas and faith in God.

[@SlySkippy15]

Glad to hear FC advocates are working for the people.

[@domk2993]

[@sharonjones1015]

This journalist did her job and did her job well. She didn’t try to make the interview about her, and she let Rep. Mainor speak for the people she serves.

[@gogan3429]

First class person with integrity.

[@Tewhi69]

Great advice, vote from the bottom of the ticket up instead of starting at the top.

[@kim-kimx5547]

Excellent interview

[@user-tc7df1en3p]

I agree with the part about the people need to return to old school terms to some agreement with communication as it has become less active with people communicating with each other as should. The USA has a wide divide. Lets attempt to close this gap!

[@leebell3357]

I wish her success. Fani has no problem trampling on other's rights. She is full of "s**t".

[@yelibin21]

The interviewer is an activist asking too many questions about her decision to switch parties.

[@patrickswagger]

Start at the bottom, wise women for sure.

[@mikepfitzpatrick7552]

I Love Her

[@Tewhi69]

I like that: “Urban Conservative”

[@steven19767]

She said she left the Democratic party because they was against school choice

[@pewee2496]

WOW, GREAT! WHAT BLACK NEIGHBORHOODS RUN BY BLACKS, HAVE MADE "THAT NEIGHBORHOOD" "BETTER" FOR THE ONES WHO LIVE THERE? 000! WHO I VOTE FOR IS MY BUSINESS! 😅🤣😂😅😭

[@Ronald-od1vn]

Her lawsuit is going nowhere. She has no legal ground to stand on..

[@skincareceo]

This is what it looks like when there is an actual victim. You can see that she's in fear for her life.

[@chrisbrandimarte2175]

I'm so disappointed in the corruption in Fulton county. It's sickening with the back door side deals that she has received regarding her case with the Fulton county prosecutor and councilman that represented the case. It seems like Fulton county Representatives they just feel like they can do whatever they want pay their bills misuse funds for different things and not do their jobs. As a taxpayer this is ridiculous this has to change and the serious problem they have with the jail and not prosecuting crimes it's ridiculous.

[@bigmouth9489]

She is a bit weak. “I can’t endorse Trump because my constituents won’t go for that”. They are the hivemind that she claims they are not.

[@rowesheila9652]

Yes, I can imagine the repubs are going to allow her to brak some barriers in the racist Georgia congress. Now let try to get something of real worth get done .

[@sandramilo5769]

Is she wearing "The dress" on the correct way?

[@brooklyndavis1642]

They got qualified immunity so u will not win against these bastard so stop paying your lawyer he just taking your money. Some times u got to know what fight to fight even though ur right believe me I’ve been there. Pay them fools know mind that’s what I did and now my peace is restored and they wonder why I am still smiling

[@craigbenjamin196]

All fear comes from zatan and when not feeling God then u just fearing

[@BarbaraBJames]

I noticed that she did not really answer the last question

[@jerryrn5571]

She agreed with the reporter, then she used her friend as an example. Her friend can support gun violence prevention and at the same time deal with the constant chaos within. The reporter could’ve asked a follow up question is she wanted something more specific.

[@martie328]

I feel sorry for Mesha but I see that she is still a little bit silly when she said she believed that Biden won the 2020 election...

Were you not paying attention to the interview? She literally said she passed a bill. United Police Safety Act. @11:30

[@dottiewest1955]

I agree that she is a beautiful strong women. But she did file this lawsuit out of vengeance. And the God that I know, is not a part of this.
