When the leader of your party is at historic lows and you’ve got nothing to run on, simply stir up some racial tension…
Via Daily Caller:
ATLANTA — “We are indeed the swing vote,” says the Rev. Raphael Warnock, the senior pastor of Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta.
It’s Wednesday night, less than a week before the election here that could determine which party controls the U.S. Senate, and nearly a hundred people have poured into a small gathering room at the historic church made famous by its former pastors, Martin Luther King Jr. and his father.
After singing and dancing to praise and worship music, the energetic, sharply-dressed Warnock preaches about Ephesians 3:20 and Matthew 19:20. Then he gets to politics.
“We’ve been talking about all the power that’s been sitting on the sidelines of our electoral system, as the demographics of our state are changing,” he tells his congregation, who are sitting on plastic chairs and taking notes in their Bibles. “Everybody’s talking about all the power voters of color have.”
“That’s right,” someone in the congregation shouts out loud.
“Amen,” a few other people say in agreement. One woman in attendance has with her a campaign sign for Jason Carter, the Democratic candidate for governor.
