Twisted Ethics of Raphael Warnock

Raphael Warnock’s career has been defined by hate-filled rants, dangerous policy positions, and twisted ethics.

Yet what Warnock lacks in honesty he more than makes up for in scandal.

Here are six times Warnock pushed the boundaries of right and wrong — and got away with it:

1. Warnock was accused of running over his ex-wife with his car.

“I've tried to keep the way that he acts under wraps for a long time," his ex-wife told police. “He's a great actor. He is phenomenal at putting on a really good show.”

2. Warnock refused to pay expenses for his own children, then used his campaign funds to do so.

Warnock was ordered to attend mediation hearings after he was accused of neglecting visitation with his two kids and failing to pay their childcare expenses. He then used over $61,000 in campaign funds to pay the child support.

3. Warnock dodged income taxes on his inflated salary thanks to an “unusual” financial arrangement with his church.

Warnock’s church paid him a “parsonage allowance” of $89,000 in 2021, which allowed him to skirt income taxes and avoid the income restrictions to which members of Congress are typically subjected.

4. Warnock doubled his income after just 18 months in office — a practice he previously decried.

“You shouldn’t use the people’s seat to enrich yourself,” Warnock declared in 2020. By the end of 2021, Warnock had doubled his income with book deals and speaking engagements.

5. Warnock’s church evicted low-income tenants from their “sickening” apartment building — then he lied about it.

An apartment building owned by Warnock’s church — which Warnock oversees — evicted low-income tenants during the pandemic for as little as $28 in past due rent. Instead of addressing it, Warnock has lied, run away, refused to take responsibility, and blamed it on “the unmitigated audacity to question the church.”

6. Warnock raided his campaign account to fight an unrelated lawsuit.

Warnock spent tens of thousands of dollars in campaign funds to cover legal expenses for a lawsuit completely unrelated to his campaign.

If Warnock can’t be trusted to do the right thing, how can Georgians trust him to represent them?
