Georgia Democratic senatorial candidate Raphael Warnock, who is slated to face incumbent Georgia GOP Senator Kelly Loeffler in a run-off election in early January — a critical election that could determine which party controls the United States Senate — has a history of vitriolic comments attacking police as well as having supported the Reverend Jeremiah Wright after Wright repeatedly yelled, “God damn America.”

As highlighted by Fox News, Warnock has stated, “So, in Ferguson, police power, showing up in a kind of gangsta and thug mentality. You now, you can wear all kinds of colors and be a thug; you can sometimes wear the colors of the state and behave like a thug.”
