Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock is running for re-election which also means he has a book to promote and to do that he joined NPR’s Michel Martin on Thursday’s edition of Amanpour and Company on PBS. During the interview, Martin would ask Warnock to explain pro-life Christians and wonder why President Biden’s approval ratings are so low despite all his alleged accomplishments.
Martin opened up the floor for Warnock to go after pro-lifers by wondering, “How do you understand the fact that, at this juncture in our history, there are people who—who– say they are animated by the same faith. The same love of the same God and the same Savior who say that it is taking them in the direction of wanting to outlaw abortion, perhaps reconsider same-sex marriage. How do you understand that?”
Warnock responded by pointing out “There were Christians on both sides of the struggle around abolition. There were Christians on both sides of the Civil Rights Movement.”
Presumably in this analogy Warnock meant to compare pro-lifers to slavers and segregationists, “And so, it is this basic commitment to humanity in all of its variations, in all of its expressions that guides the work that I do around reproductive justice, around the dignity of members of the LGBTQ+ community. It is the recognition that Dr. King said, that we are tied in the single garment of destiny. That what happens to one directly affects all indirectly. And so, I think that’s—that’s– the work and that’s the vision that inspires what I do every single day.”
Naturally Martin glossed over that absurd comparison and shifted gears to Biden’s approval ratings, “How do you understand the fact that, for example, his polling numbers are as low as they are when he’s managed to do things that his predecessor long promised and didn’t accomplish? Do you see my point? I mean, you’re making the case around values, but if the public doesn’t understand or agree that your values would be — or their lives are getting better, what do you do?”
Warnock dodged the subject of Biden’s poll numbers and despite just painting his pro-abortion views as the heir to King and the Civil Rights Movement, informed viewers that politics isn’t about him, “Here’s what I refuse to do, and that is to make the politics about me. And I really do mean that.”
He would continue to portray himself as a selfless public servant while anyone who disagrees with him is just focused on re-election and Martin would go on to talk about the book which just happened to be released the year he was running for re-election, but for all the talk on moral values, never asked Warnock about allegations he used campaign funds to fight lawsuits.
I wish it was an unforced error. Most of the useful idiot christian voters will still vote for democrats no matter what the politician says.
He knows he’s got this election in the bag. He can say any outrageous thing he wants.
Because, after Alvin Greene, Herschel Walker might very well be the dumbest person who was ever nominated by a political party for a senate seat.
(Typical demonic twisting)
Then shall arise false prophets and shall deceive many.
As if we didn’t expect this from him.
I am seeing more and more Democrat hate filled rhetoric towards Christians.
!!The mask is slipping. We are getting a glimpse of the tyrant within.
Why is Warnock so popular in GA? Are the voters unaware of his record?
I don’t know because the democrats advocate everything God opposes.
How can you claim allegiance to God and support everything that He opposes?
I had one person who claims to be a Christian tell me that they are pro-choice because God doesn’t force us to do anything. He gives us a choice in what to do in our lives, therefore they said God is for choice.
That is some Olympic grade rationalization.
Some are born “to the purple”; others to the letter “D.”
Ok, if I choose to murder him, he should be ok with it, because it's my "choice", right? God sure didn't force me to do it.
This guy works for Moloch Inc.
Taken to its logical conclusion, that should be the case.
However, we are talking liberals. And a she, not a he.
LOL, should have known.
I’m sure that will play well in Georgia /s
Will Walker and the GOP be smart enough to take full advantage of it in a media blitz? Doubtful.
“Biden’s approval ratings, “How do you understand...his polling numbers are as low as they are when he’s managed to do things that his predecessor long promised and didn’t accomplish?”
I’d like to see a list.
So killing babies means you’re an anti slaver? Makes perfect sense to me. lol no matter what the progressive issue it is that you are opposing, their argument always boils down to disagreement with them means you love slavery.
The logic is broken with this one.
Because the demon rat party manipulates black people by sanrling their emotions. Black people are trained by the entertainment and media industries to do as the master tells them and hate what the master tells them to hate.
He's not, but leave it up to the GOP to ensure he gets reelected by nominating someone like Herschel Walker to oppose him.
Then again, Georgia sent Hank Johnson to congress. Walker might actually be dumber though.
Seriously? Where do we find these people?
