It’s outrageous that CBS spent eight minutes and 22 seconds praising Senator Raphael Warnock (D-GA) on Monday’s morning show, while completely ignoring the part six of the Twitter Files which were made public on Friday. This negligence is concerning, especially when you consider all of the problematic claims against Warnock.
It’s clear that Warnock has a history of aggressive behavior against his ex-wife, unpaid child support, improper behavior at a church camp he had assisted in running, and evictions from residences owned by the church he serves. Additionally, he has been accused of being a slumlord and renting out substandard living spaces.
Clearly, CBS is willing to turn a blind eye to Warnock’s misdeeds in order to push a left-wing agenda. It’s deeply concerning that they are willing to ignore the allegations against Warnock in order to promote a certain political point of view.
Furthermore, the fact that they are pushing Warnock as a potential presidential candidate in 2024 is even more troubling. Warnock’s alleged misdeeds should disqualify him from any political office, let alone the highest office in the land.
It’s time for CBS to stop ignoring the truth and start reporting the full story. It’s also time for the American people to hold Warnock accountable for his alleged misdeeds. We need to make sure that people like Warnock are not given a platform to push their agenda.
“Coming up, newly reelected Senator Raphael Warnock, the Georgia Democrat, is here to talk about the long — there he is — hello, Senator — to talk about the long campaign to beat Herschel Walker and what’s coming next for him. He’ll share after the break,” boasted co-host, Democratic donor, and Obama family friend Gayle King in a tease.
King returned for the second half-hour by gushing over Warnock’s “victory cement[ing] Democrats’ control of the U.S. Senate” and then gave her congratulations before asking whether he had heard from Republican Herschel Walker.
When Warnock said he hadn’t, King fretted that the races were close as if to suggest Georgians should have elected him in landslides: “We’ll talk about your goals in a second. But the races seemed to be closer than people expected considering your opponent, considering the times. What do you say about that, and Stacey Abrams did not win the gubernatorial seat?”
Since Warnock didn’t take the bait and admitted that they were “hard fought”, King then joined Warnock in going hard to the left in asking him if “voter suppression” is “still an issue, though, in Georgia.”
Oh, absolutely,” Warnock replied.
King barely gave credence to the other side: “Cause some people could say, look, he won that’s no longer an argument.”
Warnock was given room to run, insisting that people “should not assume that because I won that voter suppression is not an issue in Georgia” when the story should be he won in spite of it because Georgia Republicans “shortened the runoff” and tried to take away early voting on the Saturday after Thanksgiving.
Socialist co-host Tony Dokoupil gently pushed back by wondering “what do you say to” Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, who called him an election denialist for insisting the vote was suppressed.
Of course, Warnock wiggled out: “[T]he fact that people have had to overcome barriers doesn’t mean those barriers don’t exist. We literally saw college students and seniors in lines that were hours and hours and hours long. Maybe he’s happy with that. I’m not.”
The pack of talking heads had jack to say about Warnock’s abuse allegations, financial history, or the fact that he’s a slumlord disguised as a ‘reverend’.
I’m not surprised, I just don’t want to let them continue to slide.
