Raphael Warnock Likened Senators Who Voted for 2017 Tax Cuts to Herod ‘Who’s Willing to Kill Children’

In a December 2017 sermon, Warnock blasted Republican senators who passed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, which even the New York Times admitted benefited most Americans.

“While others were sleeping, members of the United States Senate declared war, launched a vicious and evil attack on the most vulnerable people in America,” Warnock said in the sermon, likening them to Herod, who ordered the killing of male children two and younger in the region of Bethlehem in an effort to kill Jesus Christ, as detailed in the Book of Matthew.

“Herod is on the loose. Herod is a cynical politician, who’s willing to kill children and kill the children’s health program in order to preserve his own wealth and his own power,” Warnock said, adding that the Senate “decided by a slim majority to pick the pockets of the poor, the sick, the old, and the yet unborn in order to line the pockets of the ultra-rich.”

“Don’t tell me about gangsters and thugs on the streets; there are more gangsters and thugs in Washington, D.C., in the Capitol than there are — a bunch of them,” he added:

ironic words from a guy who supports abortion.

Rev. Warlock will make a great Senator for the Peach State, but probably not as forceful and dynamic as Pajama Boy Ossoff will be in the same role. Before long, we’ll make California seem CONSERVATIVE!

[DoughtyOne]

My mistake, but I actually thought that at some point they’d
run out of evil things they could charge us with.

[HerrBlucher]

Yes, amazing cognitive dissonance. What an idiot!

[Carriage Hill]

SPJNK.

[lgjhn23]

IQ of about 10.....waaaaay outside the bell curve.

[metmom]

How are tax cuts equivalent to murder or harming poor people?

Does he give any rationalization or is it all just rhetoric?

[Carriage Hill]

Warnock,
SPJNK,
ASAP.

[Thank You Rush]

“”there are more gangsters and thugs in Washington, D.C., in the Capitol””

And he’s anxious to join them.

Does he support abortion? Of course - just another hypocrite! You can’t be NON-hypocritical and be a democrat.

[Southside_Chicago_Republican]

A quick glance at his Wikipedia page seems to indicate he has spent quite a lot of time on political issues, which leads one to wonder how he has had time for traditional pastoral duties. I have never understand why a clergyman, if he really believes in what he is doing, goes into politics.

I knew some men who, inspired by the role of clergy in the civil rights and anti-war movements, went to seminary, became pastors, and used their pastoral positions for political and social activism. They were never, to me, convincing pastors in the traditional sense and the biblical references the used, like the ones coming out of Warnock’s mouth, rang hollow.

REVEREND JEREMIAH WRIGHT - Liberation Theology

SEAN HANNITY: But Reverend Jeremiah Wright is not backing down and has not for years and in his strong stance on the teaching of black liberation theology is nothing new. He had the same things to say last spring when he appeared on “Hannity and Colmes:”

WRIGHT: If you’re not going to talk about theology in context, if you’re not going to talk about liberation theology that came out of the ‘60s, systematized black liberation theology that started with Jim Cone in 1968 and the writings of Cone and the writings of Dwight Hopkins and the writings of womynist theologians and Asian theologians and Hispanic theologians, then you can’t talk about the black value system.

HANNITY: But I’m a — reverend

WRIGHT: Do you know liberation theology, sir?

Catholics for Marx [Liberation Theology]

by Fr. Robert Sirico - FrontPageMagazine.com | June 03, 2004

In the days when the Superpowers were locked in a Cold War, Latin America seethed with revolution, and millions lived behind an iron curtain, a group of theologians concocted a novel idea within the history of Christianity. They proposed to combine the teachings of Jesus with the teachings of Marx as a way of justifying violent revolution to overthrow the economics of capitalism.

The Gospels were re-rendered not as doctrine impacting on the human soul but rather as windows into the historical dialectic of class struggle. These “liberation theologians” saw every biblical criticism of the rich as a mandate to expropriate the expropriating owners of capital, and every expression of compassion for the poor as a call for an uprising by the proletarian class of peasants and workers. ...”

From David Horowitz’s DiscoverTheNetworks org:
Profile: LIBERATION THEOLOGY

“...liberation theology’s real creator was the Soviet Union’s foreign intelligence and domestic security agency, the KGB.

Patriarch Kirill, who today heads Russian Orthodox Church, secretly worked for the KGB under the code name “Mikhailov” and spent some 40 years promoting liberation theology.

Ion Mihai Pacepa, the highest-ranking Soviet-bloc official ever to defect to the West, writes: “Liberation theology has been generally understood to be a marriage of Marxism and Christianity.

What has not been understood is that it was not the product of Christians who pursued Communism, but of Communists who pursued Christians....

Its genesis was part of a highly classified Party/State Disinformation Program, formally approved in 1960 by KGB chairman Aleksandr Shelepin and Politburo member Aleksei Kirichenko, then the second in the party hierarchy after Nikita Khrushchev.”

Adds Pacepa: “In 1971, the KGB sent Kirill — who had just been elevated to the rank of archimandrite — to Geneva as emissary of the Russian Orthodox Church to the World Council of Churches.... Kirill/Mikhailov’s main task was to involve the WCC in spreading the new liberation theology throughout Latin America.

In 1975, the KGB was able to infiltrate Kirill into the Central Committee of the WCC — a position he held until he was “elected” patriarch of Russia, in 2009. ...”

Yes, the old “my views are totally effed up so I’ll exploit the children to advance my cause” routine

[The_Media_never_lie]

Preacher Herod.

[Jess Kitting]

This is rich. Warnock decrying the “killing of children.”

[shanover]

Well,there goes GA. It never takes long for the left to polarize a state and flip it. This is only the beginning as the worthless GOP is fine with it all.

[stratman1969]

That’s what I’d expect coming from a “Reverend” who preaches from the Marxist Bible of social justice and Critical Race Theory.
