Warnock said, “There is a kind of spiritual heaviness in the country as people see a deepening and widening gap between what they want from their government and everything as basic as the safety of their children when they drop them off at school for health care. And as that gap widens, I think a kind of skepticism and frustration sets in.”
“And people are tempted to turn on each other, rather than toward each other. And that creates the kind of environment where strongmen emerge, promising to solve all our problems at one stroke. We have to resist that and recognize that the path to our own wholeness and well-being is to affirm the humanity of our neighbors.”

If a Republican, especially me, made these statements, it would be front page news. He finished by saying he was now going to his church to preach, and while I think that’s fine, I say, ‘What happened to the separation of church and state?’ It’ll be the first thing they’ll use against us but, really, it’s something that’s never bothered me too much.”
In response to his attack, Warnock said in an Instagram video, “Mr. President, my faith is not a weapon, it’s a bridge, and I invite you to a Bible study. Maybe you’ll meet the Jesus I know. In the meantime, I’ll keep fighting for the people.”
