Everything is on the Line

Neither Warnock nor the Republican incumbent, Kelly Loeffler, received more than 50% of the vote in the ten-candidate field, thereby setting the stage for a January 5, 2021 special runoff election between Warnock and Loeffler.

During the presidential campaign season of 2008, Warnock, who was slated to deliver a speech honoring Barack Obama's controversial longtime pastor Jeremiah Wright, was asked by Fox News reporter Greta van Susteren: "Do you embrace the Reverend Wright, and let me focus on the soundbites, for lack of better words, but certainly he has said things like 'GD [God damn] America' and the things he has said Do you embrace that? Is that something you would do, sir, in your church?" Describing Wright as "a prophet," Warnock replied: "We celebrate Reverend Wright in the same way that we celebrate the truth-telling tradition of the black church, which, when preachers tell the truth, very often it makes people uncomfortable."

In a February 2013 speech, Warnock described Wright's infamous "God Damn America" sermon of 2003 - which likened U.S. leaders to al Qaeda, claimed that HIV was a U.S. government invention designed to exterminate black people, and asserted that the 9/11 attacks were an act of retribution for evil U.S. foreign policies - as a "Very fine homily." Asserting further that Wright's sermon was "Consistent with black prophetic preaching," Warnock lamented that the black church was "Barely understood by mainstream America."

The man whom Warnock identifies as his religious "Mentor" was the late James Cone, who served as Warnock's academic adviser at Union Theological Seminary.

Widely regarded as the founder of Black Liberation Theology - a doctrine of Marxism and black supremacy dressed up as Christianity - Cone famously stated that "The goal of black theology is the destruction of everything white," and that "Malcolm X was not far wrong when he called the white man 'the devil.'" Warnock cited Cone's 1970 book, A Black Theology of Liberation, more than a dozen times in the chapters and footnotes of his own 2013 book, The Divided Mind of the Black Church.

In another sermon that same month, Warnock criticized Georgia Republican politicians "Who go to church every Sunday morning, and then walk into that capitol, stand under that gold dome, and come up with the dumbest [gun] legislation you can ever imagine." Added Warnock: "'What we need is more guns, in more places, by more people.

This is what's on the line with Raphael Warnock's Senate bid.
