'She dominated that courtroom': Body language expert admires Fani Willis mannerisms to Laura Ingraham

FULTON COUNTY, GEORGIA: On February 14, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis testified to address her connection with prosecutor Nathan Wade, MSNBC reported.

On the same note, Fox News reached out to body language analyst Tonya Reiman for insight, who discussed Willis' demeanor with host Laura Ingraham on 'The Ingraham Angle'.

Fani Willis took the stand and denied misconduct allegations around her relationship with special prosecutor Nathan Wade, holding significant implications for the expansive Trump RICO case from which Willis could be disqualified. 

Body language expert analyzes Fani Willis  

While Ingraham seemed inclined to interpret Willis' body language in a negative light, Reiman's assessment portrayed Willis as radiating confidence from the instant she entered the room.

"When I see her walk in, she is all confidence. You watch her, she’s walking in with a tight stride and then, interestingly enough, sits and she does what we’d call, like, a double leg,” said body language expert Tonya Reiman. “So she sits down almost in a mannish way where she does this four-pronged leg move, which displays confidence. So she felt good,” she continued.

Ingraham then jumped in, seeking additional clarification.

"Wait, you called it the four — hold on, Tonya. Tonya, you said the ‘four-pronged leg move'. I want to see that. What is that?” the host inquired, laughing. “She looks like she crosses her leg to me. I love this lingo,” Ingraham said with amusement, eager to delve into the details.

Reiman continued, explaining, “So both legs sit down, and one leg goes sturdy, and the other leg crosses over — like a masculine leg movement that you would see a man use when he’s wearing pants,” she said and continued, “You normally wouldn’t see this with a woman who’s wearing a dress. So that’s why it’s called four-leg prong.”

“So when she leans back—” Reiman added before Ingraham again jumped in, saying, “Mhm, well, Tonya, Fani started waving her finger at one point, um, toward the judge to make a point. Watch this.”

Body language expert says Fani Willis is 'very strong with nonverbals'

Following this, the program aired a clip from the testimony. "Tonya, what do you make of that?" she inquired, referring to the finger-pointing.

“Again, this is a person who’s used to being in front of an audience, so she’s very strong when it comes to her nonverbals. She holds eye contact. She does swivel in her chair, but that’s more to make sure she’s holding eye contact with who she’s speaking to at that moment … So she has very strong body language when it comes to being direct and forthcoming,” Reiman concluded.

To add context to the recent developments, NBC News reported that this month, Fani Willis acknowledged having a personal relationship with special prosecutor Nathan Wade but maintained its propriety.

During her testimony, Willis grew frustrated when confronted with claims of her office's resistance to turning over records, dismissing the investigation into her and Wade as a distraction from the main case.

In the wake of these new developments and Reiman's insights into Willis' body language, netizens have taken to social media, writing, "Fani was a boss lady! She dominated that courtroom!"

Another said, "And that's how Willis took a clear embarrassment and made it into a heroic effort to stand up for herself as a strong black woman who's up to the challenge to take on Trump." 

 

One person took a diss at Ingraham, saying, "It’s hilarious to watch Laura Ingraham’s facial expressions when she realizes that this body language expert is not going to give the narrative that she wants. She wanted the body language expert to say that Fani Willis was lying and nervous. But she said the exact opposite."

"I don't think that's what Laura wants to hear. Too bad. DA Willis' father raised her to a boss!" added another.
