Democrat Raphael Warnock Arrested in 2002 for Obstructing Child Abuse Investigation
Breitbart ^ | 11/11/2020 | SEAN MORAN

Georgia Senate Democrat candidate Raphael Warnock was arrested in 2002 for obstructing a police investigation into alleged child abuse at a church camp in Carroll County, Maryland.

Revs. Warnock and Andre Wainwright, who both worked at Douglas Memorial Community Church, were accused in court documents of attempting to prevent a state trooper from interviewing counselors at the church’s Camp Farthest Out in Eldersburg, Maryland, regarding alleged abuse at the church.

Warnock hopes to oust Sen. Kelly Loeffler (R-GA) during the January senate runoff.

A state trooper said that neither Warnock nor Wainwright were suspects in the child abuse investigation, although the trooper declined to describe the nature of the suspected abuse.

Warnock, the senior pastor at the church, said that the alleged abuse was not sexual.

Warnock and Wainwright interrupted a police interview of a camp counselor in 2002. After investigators moved the interview to a picnic area, the reverends interfered against and tried to prevent one camper from directing police to other potential witnesses.

Maryland State Trooper Diane Barry of the state police Child and Sexual Assault Unit said, “I’ve never encountered resistance like that at all.”

Barry contended that the counselors consented to be interviewed after they were told they were free to go at any time and were not obligated to answer Barry’s questions. After being arrested and charged, Warnock and Wainwright were released.

These things don’t matter a bit to Democrats. They vote D, no matter how crooked or sleazy the candidate is.

Because Collins and Loeffler were ducking it out in a jungle primary and this sleaze skated.

There is a lot more.Here is the write up from RRH elections:

GA-Sen L: Democratic senate candidate Rev. Raphael Warnock (D) got a bit of a free ride in the jungle primary. It is absolutely amazing how little vetting of Warnock or examining his record was done during the primary so we thought we would take moment to look into some of the stories about him you will most likely be hearing a lot more about soon.:

Israel: In 2019 Raphael Warnock (D) signed a letter comparing Israel to South Africa and calling it an “Apartheid State”. And in a 2018 sermon Warnock blasted the moving of the US Embassy to Jerusalem and praised the Palestinian “struggle” against Israel.

Guns: Raphael Warnock (D) is one of the leading gun control advocates in Georgia and led the efforts against Georgia’s open carry laws.

Jeremiah Wright: In 2008 Raphael Warnock (D) was one of the chief defenders of Jeremiah Wright after his “Goddamn America” tape was discovered.

Defund the Police: Raphael Warnock (D) was on the defund the police bandwagon long before it was fashionable. Warnock’s anti-police rhetoric goes back years. In sermons Warnock has called police officers “gangsters and thugs” & “bullies” and there is lots of videos of him attacking the police.

Spousal Abuse: Raphael Warnock’s estranged wife accused him of running over her foot with his car during a heated argument days before he filed paperwork to run for Senate. The police and first-responders were called during the incident.

Child Abuse: But perhaps the most damaging story regarding Raphael Warnock (D) is this one from 2003. When Warnock was a pastor in Baltimore he was accused of obstructing a police investigation into suspected child abuse at a church-run camp in Carroll County. Expect to hear a lot more about the child abuse story in coming days.
