Raphael Gamaliel Warnock (born July 23, 1969 (age 54)) is a pastor currently running for United States Senate from Georgia in the 2020 special election. A liberal Democrat and promoter of Cafeteria Christianity, Warnock believes that the murder of unborn children is biblical[1] and has equated the pro-abortion John Lewis, a civil rights leader-turned anti-Trump Democrat, with Jesus Christ.[2]
