Republicans Frame Democrat Raphael Warnock As Anti-Police Marxist Ahead of Georgia Senate Runoff

Republicans are launching a series of aggressive attacks on Democrat Reverend Raphael Warnock, framing him as an anti-law enforcement Marxist ahead of the Georgia Senate runoff.

This week, GOP Senator Kelly Loeffler sunk over a million dollars on two new attack ads against her Democratic opponent, portraying Warnock, who has led Martin Luther King Jr.'s historic church in Atlanta for 15 years, as an "anti-American" component of the "radical left."

The first Loeffler attack ad against Warnock, released Thursday, resurfaced the Democrat's defense of the controversial Reverend Jeremiah Wright in 2008. The second ad insisted that "the radical left" would control the Senate if Warnock is elected and included images of "defund the police" and mobs of people.

Warnock called the attacks "misleading" in a Friday CNN interview and vowed not to "allow himself to be distracted by Kelly Loeffler." The Democrat accused Loeffler of trying to deflect attention from her opposition to the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and welcoming support among "bigots."

We are told that that was a real gotcha and it probably was.

There are a lot of white Evangelical Christians in Georgia. They especially believe it when they hear their preachers say it from the pulpit during Sunday service, and there's plenty of that going on, too.
