Dozens of Georgia veterans call on Warnock to drop out of Senate race over past comments
Fox news story ^

Posted on 11/19/2020 12:19:16 PM PST by Gopher Broke

Dozens of veterans from Georgia are calling on Democratic Senate candidate Rev. Raphael Warnock to drop out of the state’s run-off race in January after his nearly a decade-old comment saying “nobody can serve God and the military” resurfaced.

Fox News obtained a list of more than four dozen Georgia veterans who are calling on Warnock to suspend his campaign.

FLASHBACK: RAPHAEL WARNOCK IN 2011: 'AMERICA, NOBODY CAN SERVE GOD AND THE MILITARY'

“Raphael Warnock’s comments about military men and women are despicable and flat-out wrong,” the veterans said in a statement. “Here in Georgia, true leaders recognize the service and sacrifice of all who have courageously defended our nation's freedom.”

They added that is is “sad to see Raphael Warnock is more interested in insulting and condemning our military than in building communities that support and protect them.”

For someone who has a "reverend" label, apparently they never bothered to even read the Old Testament.

All men were required to serve in the military in those Biblical days and it wasnt even questioned.

Nowadays, these people challenge and question everything in an attempt to dodge military service.

“No religious tests” in the US Constitution protect heathens and well as Christians.

Spoiler alert: He won’t drop out.

And Dems will continue to shower money on his campaign. They’ll do whatever it takes to put Chuck Schumer in charge of the Senate.

I was just harkening back to 2010, when Christine O’Donnell ran for Senate against Chris Coons, who was happy to have his goons run around and complain about his opponent, the witch.

In, of all places, Georgia to make that statement. Does make you shake your head and wonder how he can even run competitively.

Without fraud, that is.

The post was “Warlock is a witch, he should drop out”
My comment meant that, being a witch isn’t a basis to toss him out.
Unfortunately.
