Fani Willis’ father, John Floyd, testified on her behalf today at the hearing that will determine whether she can continue the political prosecution of Donald Trump.
But more interesting than what Floyd said is who Floyd is and with whom he spent his time in the 1960s.
He was a top cat in the communist Black Panthers. And he shacked up with none other than Angela Davis, the communist terrorist involved in the murder of a judge.
In other words, Willis comes by her deranged Trump hatred honestly.
Floyd Doesn’t Like “Crackers”
When the compromised Willis went after Trump and indicted him under the state’s Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, the New York Post helpfully ran a background check.
Old man Floyd called cops the “enemy,” a recorded interview revealed.
“John C. Floyd III, whose daughter Fani Willis is the Fulton County, Ga., district attorney, told academic researchers that he considered police in his native Los Angeles in the 1960s to be an ‘occupying army’ that was ‘nothing but trouble,’” the Post explained:
Floyd, now 80, also called a prominent white politician of the era a “[fat] Texas cracker.” And he suggested that he believed conspiracy theories that Malcolm X was assassinated by the CIA.
Floyd is extremely close to his daughter Willis, who has brought a sprawling anti-racketeering case against the former president and 18 others — including his personal attorney Rudy Giuliani and his White House chief of staff Mark Meadows — alleging that they plotted to overturn the 2020 election results in Georgia.
Floyd divulged his anti-cop feelings in an interview with the Black Power Archives at California State University, Northridge.
A founding member of the Panthers in 1967, he was also chairman of its so-called political party, but segued into criminal defense law.
“But before then … he was so high up in the Black Panthers that he became friends with Martin Luther King,” the Post reported. And he didn’t like cops, either:
He said: “I grew up here and I have remarked to myself: As many car break-ins, house break-ins, assaults, I never the whole time I grew up in Los Angeles ever remember anyone calling the police department, because we considered LAPD to be the enemy.
“We thought they were nothing but trouble, they weren’t there to help us. I must have been 20 years old before I saw ‘to protect and serve’ (the LAPD motto) and wondered in my own mind, ‘Is that what police are supposed to do?’ because we saw them as an occupying army.”
As well, Floyd was a founder of LA’s Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), a purposely deceptive name for the communist group, Discover the Networks reported. In 1965, anti-white communist Stokely Carmichael took over the SNCC, which published a leaflet that said “we [blacks] must fill ourselves with hate for all things white.” In 1967, Carmichael fessed up about the group’s name:
We used the name nonviolent because at that time Martin Luther King was the central figure of the black struggle and he was still preaching nonviolence, and anyone who talked about violence at that time was considered treasonable — amounting — to treason, so we decided that we would use the name nonviolent, but in the meantime we knew our struggle was not about to be nonviolent, but we would just wait until the time was right for the actual … name.
The man whom Floyd called a “fat Texas cracker” was California Democrat Jesse M. Unruh.
John and Angela — Lovebirds
But Floyd’s main squeeze during those days of rage is even more interesting than all that. “I was dating Angela Davis, and she and I were actually living together,” Floyd confessed to the Black Power Archives.
Davis was a pro-Soviet communist who believed that jailed dissidents in communist countries got what they deserved. When leftist legal celebrity Alan Dershowitz asked for her help with Jewish dissidents in the Soviet Union, she turned him down.
Worse than that, Davis provided the weapons used in the assassination of a Marin County, California, judge in 1970.
As Discover the Networks explained it:
Davis was implicated by more than 20 witnesses in a plot to free her imprisoned lover, fellow Black Panther George Jackson, by hijacking a Marin County, California courtroom and taking hostage the judge, the prosecuting assistant district attorney, and two jurors. In an ensuing gun battle outside the court building, Judge Harold Haley’s head was blown off by a sawed-off shotgun that had been supplied by Ms. Davis. To avoid arrest for her alleged complicity in the plot, Davis fled California, using aliases and changing her appearance to avoid detection. Before long, she had earned a spot on the FBI’s “Ten Most Wanted” list.
Although she was finally caught, a jury packed with radical sympathizers acquitted her.
Willis: Her Father’s Teaching in “My Veins”
But back to Fani Willis, now accused of hiring her boyfriend to help prosecute the Trump case.
She told the Post that she speaks to her father “10 times a day,” which strongly suggests she’s taking advice on how to get Trump.
“I have an absolutely amazing father and I’m very privileged to have been raised by such a great man,” Willis told the newspaper. “My father taught me that every single person is entitled to dignity and respect no matter who they are — no matter their race, religion or socio-economic status.”
“And those things run through my veins,” she said. “It’s the way I try to treat people every single day: They’re entitled to dignity and respect no matter who they are.”
