Senator Raphael Warnock criticized former President Donald Trump, saying he is “not worthy of the office that he seeks” in an upcoming election.
When asked about Trump’s support among white evangelical Christians, Warnock suggested Trump focuses more on himself than Christian values of helping the hungry, sick, and vulnerable.
CNN’s Jake Tapper said, “Before we go on, I know you’re about to go preach. You are one of only two ordained ministers in the United States Senate. The other way, incidentally, is my next guest, Senator Lankford of Oklahoma. I wonder what you make of Donald Trump’s deep support among white conservative Evangelical Christians. Does it surprise you at all?”
Warnock identified as a “Matthew 25 Christian” whose faith calls him to expand Medicaid and address issues like seniors struggling to afford prescription drugs and food.
He implied there is a clear choice in upcoming elections between his priorities of assisting those in need versus Trump, suggesting Trump falls short of being worthy of office from his perspective as a man of faith.
Warnock said, “What I think Donald Trump is focused on himself. And I think that as a Christian, you know, I’m a Matthew 25 Christian where Jesus said I was hungry and you fed me. I was sick and you attended to me and so that’s why I think it’s important that we expand Medicaid and Georgia, that we deal with the fact that there are seniors who are having to choose between prescription drugs and buying groceries that’s my north star.”
“That’s what informs my faith and my politics and I think that the binder that there is a clear choice in the days ahead as we move through this election Donald Trump is not worthy of the office that he seeks,” he said.
