Raphael Warnock

Georgia U.S. Sen. Raphael Warnock said he is deeply disappointed as he watches Republicans rush to redraw maps and eliminate seats held by Black lawmakers.

“It is a betrayal of the highest in the American ideals,” the Atlanta Democrat said during a recent interview on the “Politically Georgia” podcast. “And the same politicians who will be lining up, some of them wanting to come to my church in January and sing praises to Martin Luther King Jr. and remember him, are dismembering his legacy in real time.”
