Latest Attacks on Raphael Warnock Take a Key Phrase Out of Context

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Sen. Kelly Loeffler’s fervid campaign against her Democratic challenger in Georgia, the Rev. Raphael Warnock, has employed a new deceptive tactic, casting Warnock, a Baptist preacher, as un-American by falsely attributing a controversial comment to him that was made by the Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr.

Her attack has been bolstered by a multimillion-dollar ad buy promoting a fallacious video of Warnock that uses the same out-of-context footage.

In a news release distributed on Friday, Loeffler’s campaign linked to a 2014 flyer showing that Warnock’s church, Ebenezer Baptist in Atlanta, had hosted Wright, a controversial Chicago pastor known for his fiery rhetoric.

“Warnock has a long history of praising Wright,” Loeffler’s release said, “calling him a prophet and celebrating his infamous ‘God damn America’ speech days after it was delivered. And Warnock himself has repeatedly said ‘God damn America’ in his sermons.”

Yet Warnock has uttered that phrase only in instances when he was referring to Wright’s speech, not to endorse that sentiment himself.
