Raphael Warnock
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]
2020 Senate bid
Warnock announced in late January 2020 his run for Senate;[3] a jungle primary will be held on November 3, 2020 coinciding with other general elections, where all candidates irrespective of party affiliation will appear together on the ballot; such that no candidate gets a majority of the vote, the top two will compete in a runoff held in January 2020. Other candidates include interim Republican incumbent Kelly Loeffler, anti-establishment representative Doug Collins, as well as Democrats Matt Lieberman (son of Joe Lieberman) and Ed Tarver.
Warnock is backed by many WNBA players after the latter spared with Sen. Loeffler, who co-owns the league.[4]
He has been criticized by Loeffler[5] for having referred to police officers as "thugs and bullies"[6] and refusing to apologize over such.[7]
A debate between the candidates was held on October 19, 2020.[8]
