Rev. Raphael Warnock, a Democrat running for Senate in Georgia, called Republican senators “gangsters” and “thugs” and accused them of “killing children” after they voted to pass over a billion dollars in tax cuts.

Warnock made the comments in late 2017, after the GOP, along with the Trump administration, made sweeping changes to the tax code, resulting in around $1 trillion in across-the-board tax cuts, a move that financial experts contend boosted the economy and may have prevented major, lasting declines following a series of coronavirus pandemic-related lockdowns.
