A damning report was revealed Tuesday depicting incumbent Georgia Democrat Senator Raphael Warnock's hypocrisy. The report depicts Warnock threatening to evict poor residents from low-income housing owned by his church. A number of proverbial rocks had to be turned over to find Warnock hiding beneath shell organizations that kept his name out of view.
The report was written by Andrew Kerr of the Washington Free Beacon and detailed the threatened evictions in the Columbia Tower at MLK Village in Atlanta and that Warnock's church provided him with a sumptuous housing allowance of $7,417 monthly.
Beginning in early 2020, twelve eviction lawsuits were filed against residents of Columbia Tower at MLK Village. Warnock's church owns 99 percent of this housing for poor people where the rent is merely $125 a month and the building received more than $15,000,000 in taxpayer funding.
The building is described as a home for people with "mental disabilities" and also for those struggling with homelessness.
Warnock is the senior pastor at Ebenezer Baptist Church and draws a salary along with the housing allowance. In other words, he's doing rather well for a simple pastor.
The report discusses the 12 eviction lawsuits from 2020 and this is where the hypocrisy comes in. It was at this time when pastor Warnock was criticizing Republicans for opposing a rent and mortgage payment moratorium while he was busy trying to evict his own tenants.
Unemployment benefits have expired, rent is due today, and many Georgia families are at risk of eviction in the middle of a pandemic.Yeah, he's 'reverend' alright. He's as reverend as the white hater race hustler Reverend Al Sharpton
My opponents are supposed to be serving the people in Washington, but they're clearly only concerned with serving their own interests

As Kerr noted, less than three weeks after tweeting his attack that Republicans were not in favor of a rent moratorium, a lawsuit was filed over past-due rent in the amount of $28.55.
Meanwhile, the church had the finances available to cover the pittance of past-due rents owed in the 12 lawsuits, which amounted to $4,900. The Ebenezer Baptist Church ended 2021 with $1,000,000 on hand.
Ebenezer Baptist Church owns the building through a network of shell organizations connected to the Ebenezer Building Foundation, a 501(c)(3) charity that delegates all management duties to the church and identifies Warnock as its principal officer in its IRS Form 990 filings.Residents were reportedly unaware that the church even owned the building — which appears to be by design due to the aforementioned shell organizations that covered up multiple layers before Warnock's name appeared in an official capacity:

“They treat me like a piece of shit. They’re not compassionate at all,” Vietnam veteran and Columbia Tower resident Phillip White, 69, explained, saying that the building had moved to evict him twice. The first time he paid the back rent — $179 — plus $325 in fees.

So here is where Warnock's political opponent, Herschel Walker, comes in.
Walker responded to Kerr's report with on Twitter, “I have never known a preacher that likes abortion even after birth, won’t pay his child support and evicts poor people to the street. I will pay the $4500 in past due rents listed in this news article to keep @ReverendWarnock from evicting these people.”
And not mentioned is that Warnock ran over his ex-wife's foot with his vehicle and claimed he didn't.
