Sen. Raphael Warnock, D-Ga., continues to serve as a senior pastor at Atlanta's famed Ebenezer Baptist Church.
These days the church โ where Dr.ย Martin Luther King Jr. once served as a co-pastor โ has allied itself with congregations promoting views espoused by the radical left. Among them is the Progressive National Baptist Convention (PNBC), which opposes continued military aid for Israel.
Beyond his church's organizational link, Warnock himself gave the keynote speech at the PNBC's annual convention last year. Prior to Warnock's speech, PNBC members voted on and approved a resolution declaring the Jewish State of โapartheidโ and โethnic cleansing.โ
The Washington Free Beacon has more on Sen. Warnock's affiliation:
Warnock's affiliation with the PNBC comes nearly two years after he faced criticism from the Jewish community for signing on to a statement, published by the same organization, that compared Israel to apartheid South Africa. In response to the controversy, Warnock's campaign said he supported the U.S.-Israel relationship and โopposes ending direct military aid to such a strong ally.โ
Despite Warnock's own history of anti-Israel statements, such as accusing Israel of shooting unarmed Palestinians โlike birds of prey,โ he pivoted on the campaign trail in 2020 and positioned himself as a supporter of the Jewish state. But his church's ongoing membership in the PNBCโand Warnock's decision to headline its annual gathering last yearโcould reignite questions about his views.
Danielle Repass, the press secretary for the Georgia Republican Party, told theย Washington Free Beaconย that Warnock's involvement with the group is in line with his โrelentless history of anti-Israel speech.โ
โTime and time again, Raphael Warnock proves that he is irreconcilably out of touch with Georgians,โ said Repass.

I would never vote for this anti Semitic Beast..Many Blacks donโt even know that in the 60โs Jews marched with Blacks and they were murdered alongside Blacks, but they still hate the Jews.
Hey Janis from Marietta, Georgia, how in the world do you rate integrity? Herschel has none according to you, but Warnock whose church is now embroiled with anti-semitism, he is the pretend leader of that church, he aimed his car at his ex-wife and hit the gas, he missed, but most of us call that attempted murder, he and his staff abused children at his church camp, one for wetting the bed, how sad for those kids, his church and he a the leader of that church are throwing out poor people from the church owned apartment building for being behind small amounts of money for rent, which in reality is less than what Warnock would spend on a good meal at a mediocre restaurant. Those are just a few examples of his integrity. You could only find one against Herschel and that was lying and that hasn’t been proven. Wake up voters in Georgia, Warnock is not what you need in Congress. I’m a Gator fan and we look for anything to use against a Ga Bulldog, but this crap doesn’t even fly with us either..
You are precisely correct! Warlock is nothing but a wolf in sheepโs clothing and is as dishonest and unethical as they come! MLK is spinning in his grave
Is it written in the Constitution we have to support Israel or is FREE SPEECH still in the Constitution?
Bad optics, remedy can effect whole Church by actions done & He lectures US
Warnock is also a slum lord.
Warlock! big nose, small cranium?
