“#Georgia Senate candidate Raphael Warnock is a real radical<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n

Rev. Raphael Warnock, a Democrat vying for one of Georgia\u2019s two contested Senate seats, claims his Republican opponent, incumbent Sen. Kelly Loeffler, is running \u201csmear ads.\u201d She is \u201ctaking things I\u2019ve said out of context from over 25 years being a pastor,\u201d says Warnock.<\/p>\n

Loeffler warns Warnock is a \u201cradical liberal\u201d who\u2019d \u201cchange America.\u201d Warnock denies it. Sorry, Reverend, but you proved yourself the extremist during Sunday night\u2019s nationally televised debate. In your own words, nothing edited or taken out of context. <\/p>\n

At the debate, Warnock didn\u2019t deny he wants to eliminate cash bail and empty the prisons. He promoted the false narrative that police disproportionately kill blacks more than whites suspected of the same crimes. When Loeffler warned that Warnock would raise Georgians\u2019 taxes to fund the Green New Deal and a government takeover of private health insurance, he didn\u2019t deny that either.<\/p>\n

Most telling, Warnock refused to answer whether he\u2019d support the Democratic Party\u2019s most radical, far-reaching scheme: packing the Supreme Court. \u201cI\u2019m not really focused on it,\u201d he told the debate moderators. <\/p>\n

Huh? You\u2019d have to be on Mars. Ducking the question clearly means he will. When Georgia\u2019s Senate race ended inconclusively on Nov. 3, Democratic Sen. Chuck Schumer gloated, \u201cFirst we take Georgia, then we change America.\u201d Warnock, the pastor of the Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, captured 33 percent of the vote in the Nov. 3 Senate contest with 20 candidates competing. Loeffler, who had been app<\/a>ointed to the seat last January, came in second with 26 percent. Georgia voters will choose between them.<\/p>\n

Georgia\u2019s other Senate seat is also up for grabs on Jan. 5. If Democrats win both, they\u2019d hold 50 seats in the Senate, enough to control it with Vice President Kamala Harris\u2019 tie-breaking vote. A 50-seat majority would let Democrats ram through a far-left agenda including the Green New Deal, Medicare for All, tax hikes, packing the court and adding the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico as states with four dependably Democratic votes.<\/p>\n

With so much at stake, partisans on both sides have spent a record-breaking $300 million in total, mostly for television ads. Democrats claim ads targeting Warnock are using scare tactics to portray him as a radical. But Warnock\u2019s own words prove he is.<\/p>\n

Consider law and order. Warnock insisted Sunday night that he does not support defunding the police. No surprise. After so many Democratic House candidates who expressed that message were defeated November, party leaders such as Democratic House Majority Whip James Clyburn and former President Barack Obama are saying to tone it down.<\/p>\n

Even so, Warnock objects to cash bail, because he says thousands of imprisoned Georgians can\u2019t afford it. That would mean releasing accused criminals after they are charged, public safety be damned. Warnock also wants to empty the jails, because in his own words, this country \u201ccriminalizes poverty.\u201d<\/p>\n

On the economy, Warnock favors substantial tax hikes and increases in federal minimum wages. Though lower-income groups, including minorities, achieved higher earnings and better employment rates than ever under the Trump administration, Warnock insists the current US economy \u201cis designed for the wealthiest 1 percent, not the working class.\u201d<\/p>\n

Al Herring, executive director of Faith in Action, argues that for many decades African-American pastors have espoused more radical positions than white Christian churches typically do, implying that criticizing such radicalism is inherently racist. That\u2019s ridiculous.<\/p>\n

The New York Times argues that \u201cspotlighting a Black candidate and linking him to the state\u2019s most prominent African-American Democrat, Stacey Abrams, amounts to a strategy\u201d to attract voters who \u201charbor racist views.\u201d As if Rev. Warnock\u2019s skin color should inoculate him from scrutiny, despite his extreme views.<\/p>\n

Warnock has exhorted his congregation to turn the \u201cradical and revolutionary love of God\u201d into action and \u201cturn the world upside down.\u201d Those are inspiring words from a preacher. But from a Senate candidate, it\u2019s another matter. Warnock\u2019s agenda will change America for the worse. Republicans are fighting hard to stop it. <\/p>\n
