Loeffler Shared Pulpit to Praise Raphael Warnock, the Election Runoff Rival She Now Calls a Dangerous Radical
Less than a year ago, the Georgia GOP senator shared a pulpit to laud the work of her Democratic runoff rival, who she now calls a Marxist.

A glance at Sen. Kelly Loeffler’s Twitter page shows exactly what she wants voters to think about her Democratic rival Rev. Raphael Warnock ahead of Georgia’s runoff election on Jan. 5. Her posts condemn him as the “most radical and dangerous candidate in America” who “has espoused radical views from the pulpit.” It’s strange, then, that, less than a year ago, she shared that pulpit with Warnock in order to praise his work and that of his church. According to Judd Legum’s Popular Information newsletter, Loeffler called Warnock’s church a “sacred place” in her January address and, while standing right next to her future rival, said she was “surrounded by men and women who advance the cause of freedom.”
2. Loeffler visited the church, which she now claims is a platform for Warnock's extremism, for a MLK Day event.
