Commentator Lauren Chen claimed that Attorney Fani Willis is regarded as a "champion of justice" by the Left during a discussion on GBN America.
It comes as Georgia District Attorney Fani Willis, who is driving the landmark election interference case against ex-President Donald Trump, faces accusations that she improperly hired her lover as the case prosecutor.
The first black female district attorney for Fulton County denied the allegations and accused her critics of "playing the race card".
Speaking to GBN America, Chen explained: "For people who missed out, I highly recommend you check it out. It seemed more like watching a daytime soap opera rather than actual footage from a court trial.

"The reason why she is now being questioned is that for this case, which is very high profile as she is trialling a former president, is she chose her current or former lover as one of the lawyers to be brought on a special prosecutor.
"Now obviously like I said, high profile case you would assume that this person would be very qualified. Having tried his cases previously that is not the case.
"Not only was he completely unqualified to be a part of this case, but he somehow was also being billed at a way higher rate than lawyers on the team who had experience. So all of this just seems very corrupt.
"It raises a lot of eyebrows, which is why Fani Willis is being questioned. If you ask her what exactly is going on, she tells people that she is simply being persecuted for being an outspoken black woman who is trying to hold Donald Trump accountable."

The commentator explained: "There's absolutely a double standard here. And to be clear, for people who haven't watched the trial, it's not me bringing up the race card.
"Fani Willis was more than happy to do that herself and she has been consistently playing the race card in order to explain why she was being brought in for all of these questions.
"I don't think it's surprising to say that this is a double standard to anyone.
"I feel like anyone who is watching the simultaneous treatment of Donald Trump versus Fani Willis can tell that there is two very different standards.
Donald Trump "is guilty until proven innocent regardless of whether he's actually done anything "

"It seems like Donald Trump is guilty until proven innocent, regardless of whether he's actually done anything in the first place, regardless of whether there are even any victims in the case.
"Whereas when you look at Fanny Willis, I think the taxpayers in Fulton County are looking at the charges that are being incurred under this frankly sham of a trial and they're raising their eyebrows.
"I think it's also worth mentioning that there has recently been a whistleblower from Fani Willis's office who has been let go previously, who has spoken out about the offices, mismanagement and mishandling of funds.
"So this is a woman who it seems like has a history of using her position to financially benefit herself and in some cases her associates. And still she is being heralded as this, this champion of justice by the left and by the media."
