In case you missed it, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution published a bombshell story on a recent child custody filing against Raphael Warnock.
The filing from his ex-wife states that Warnock “failed to reimburse” her for child care costs, thereby leaving her “financially strapped.”
Raphael Warnock had also been accused of running over his ex-wife's foot, wherein his ex-wife told police that Warnock was a “great actor.”
Warnock’s acting abilities appear to be working, as he continues to raise money for his campaign using the fundraising platform ActBlue. This comes despite the company's policy to not host candidates or causes that are linked to sexual or domestic violence allegations.

Background
At the beginning of the #MeToo movement, Democrats lined up in support of believing women who made accusations of sexual harassment or assault until it became inconvenient to their partisan ambitions.
ActBlue removed a Kansas state representative for not being aligned with their mission when it was revealed he shared revenge porn from when he was in high school.
ActBlue reinforced this rule when they announced at the height of Andrew Cuomo’s sexual harassment scandal that they were removing him from their fundraising platform.
U.S. Sen. Raphael Warnock’s ex-wife is seeking changes to their child custody arrangement in court documents that claim he’s in “willful contempt” of the agreement as she attempts to move outside of Georgia.
The 11-page filing by Ouluye Ndoye wants a judge to grant her additional custody of their two young children so she can complete a Harvard University program, citing an agreement she struck with Warnock while he was campaigning for the U.S. Senate in early 2020.
It also asks for Warnock’s child support payments to be recalculated because of his “substantial”
increase in income after his victory. He has continued to serve as the lead pastor of Atlanta’s Ebenezer Baptist Church after taking office.
The complaint, filed in February, comes as Warnock runs for a full six-year term. He won a special election runoff in January 2021 that was part of a Democratic sweep that flipped control of the Senate. His reelection campaign in November could once again determine control of the chamber.

A March 2020 incident between Warnock and Ndoye while their divorce filing was pending became the subject of scrutiny during his last election campaign.
Ndoye told Atlanta police officers that he ran over her foot with his car during a heated argument outside her townhouse, and she described him as a “great actor” after he denied her claims.

She claimed a “substantial change of circumstances regarding the welfare of the children” after Warnock’s victory, and she alleged in the filing that her ex-husband hasn’t reimbursed her for some child care costs that she incurred during time he’s scheduled to be with the kids.
The filing singled out certain weekdays when Warnock was set to have responsibility for the children under the agreement but now cannot because of his Senate duties.
“The fact that (Warnock) has failed to reimburse (Ndoye) has left (Ndoye) financially strapped, leaving the children in her care when she should be concentrating on work-related and school-related responsibilities,” the filing states.
Ndoye also claimed that when Warnock has reimbursed her, “it has often been accompanied with an extended questioning regarding the value of and need for the services provided.”
