‘Vicious and Venomous’: Raphael Warnock Says Critics of His Church’s Evictions Are Attacking Jesus
Democrat lashes out as church’s eviction scandal takes center stage in runoff battle with Herschel Walker.
The NBTP declares that “Warnock is running a Criminal Enterprise while cloaked in the Cloth of God.”
Sen. Raphael Warnock (D., Ga.) on Sunday said people who criticize his church for evicting residents from its low-income apartment building “attack the church of Jesus Christ” and are motivated by the “rulers of the darkness of this world.”
Warnock has come under fire following a Washington Free Beacon report that the Ebenezer Baptist Church, where he serves as senior pastor, owns an apartment building that moved to evict residents during the pandemic for as little as $28.55 in past-due rent. Warnock on Sunday alluded to the criticisms while delivering a sermon at Ebenezer, telling the congregation he was “troubled by the folk who have the nerve and the unmitigated audacity to attack the church,” which he called “the spiritual home of Martin Luther King Jr., America’s freedom church.”
Warnock did not disclose the identity of his foes, or the nature of their attacks. But his comments came just two days after the Free Beacon reported that the Georgia secretary of state is weighing whether to file a formal subpoena against a charity controlled by Warnock’s church for failing to cooperate with an inquiry into its charity registration. Walker’s Republican opponent, Herschel Walker, on Thursday launched the “Evict Warnock Bus Tour” ahead of Georgia’s Dec. 6 runoff election.
Warnock dodged questions about the evictions throughout October, but on Sunday, while he preached at his church, the Democrat suggested something more nefarious was at play.
“We wrestle not against flesh and blood but against powers and principalities, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against the spiritual wickedness in high places that creates hellish situations, and then cause a lot of folk to bite one another,” Warnock said on Sunday. “They attach themselves, even in church. Sometimes especially in church. They poison the warmth of the fellowship with vicious and venomous words. Vicious. And Venomous. Words. Lying. And backbiting.”
“It is abundantly clear that Ebenezer Building Foundation, Inc. has violated one or more IRS laws and regulations regarding the operation of a nonprofit charity,” the National Legal and Policy Center charged in the complaint. “The IRS must conduct a full investigation and audit of the Foundation’s finances and transactions and assess appropriate civil and criminal penalties, and revoking their tax-exempt status if warranted. The public interest demands it.”
Ebenezer Building Foundation is a 501(c)(3) charity that in its IRS Form 990 filings delegates all management duties to Ebenezer Baptist Church, shares the same address as the church, and identifies Warnock as its principal officer. Ebenezer Building Foundation holds a 99 percent stake in Columbia Tower through a shell company called MLK Village Corporation, which also shares the same address as the church and is led by the same three officers as the charity.
“Accordingly, Ebenezer should have disclosed Columbia Residential as a for-profit-related entity … as a ‘related organization’ because it is, in effect, its ‘Subsidiary,'” the NLPC said in its complaint.
They have called him every name in the book but Herschel Walker has withstood the onslaught from the Libtards.
A VOTE FOR WARNOCK AND OSSOFF IS A VOTE FOR LOUIS FARRAKHAN
“BRING IT ON” SLIME DOGS. YOU WANT BLOOD, WE WILL BRING YOU BLOOD”
Georgia is at a crossroads, are they to vote for a reactionary panderer to Muslim Extremists. Louis Farrakhan has now given his blessing to Warnock, a progressive socialists ever to run on the face of the earth, worse than the devil himself.
Raphael Warnock hosted Jeremiah Wright as guest preacher in 2014

“Not God bless America; God damn America,” Wright said at the time. “That’s in the Bible, for killing innocent people. God damn America, for treating her citizens as less than human. God damn America as long as she tries to act like she is God and she is supreme.”
“Not only did Raphael Warnock praise Jeremiah Wright’s ‘God Damn America’ sermon, he thought it was so great that he invited him to Ebenezer Baptist to deliver it,” Loeffler’s communications director, Stephen Lawson, told Fox News Thursday night. “Does Georgia really want a U.S. senator who thinks God should damn America?”
