Ebenezer Baptist Church, where Democratic Georgia Sen. Raphael Warnock is senior pastor, moved to evict poor, low-income tenants from a building it owns while Warnock publicly railed against evictions, according to The Washington Free Beacon.
Columbia Tower at MLK Village in downtown Atlanta, of which the church is 99% owner, is a 501(c)3) non-profit intended to house the mentally disabled and chronically homeless, according to a grant application. However, the church’s business partner Columbia Residential filed a dozen eviction lawsuits against low-income residents throughout the pandemic over past-due rent amounts as low as $28.55 and successfully evicted two tenants, according to The Washington Free Beacon.
“They treat me like a piece of shit. They’re not compassionate at all,” Columbia Tower resident Phillip White, a 69-year-old African American told The Washington Free Beacon. He received an eviction notice Sept. 20 for failing to pay $192 in rent; the building previously tried to evict him over $179 in past-due rent in 2021. more
Rafael apparently thinks greenbacks matter more than black lives. What a surprise!
Right. In a pig’s butt.
I smell democracy and it’s ilk.
A Democrat “pastor” is a lying hypocrite.
Gee, never saw THAT before /s
…s’ok, his skin will get him a pass for now, but he’s gonna find out Someone will settle this with him that won’t be impressed by his Blackness, since He GAVE it to him…
“Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows’ houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation.”
Matthew 23:14
“1 Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! saith the Lord.
2 Therefore thus saith the Lord God of Israel against the pastors that feed my people; Ye have scattered my flock, and driven them away, and have not visited them: behold, I will visit upon you the evil of your doings, saith the Lord.”
Jeremiah 23:1-2
…maybe he should sit down in one of the many quiet rooms that his $7,000+ “parsonage allowance” doubtlessly buys and actually READ the bible.
Because right now, it doesn’t too much look like he does that. “By their fruits ye shall know them”, and all that.
Just sayin’…
For such a little state, Georgia has caused me more consternation and woe than just about any other.
2 years ago the nation was counting on Georgia to just win one of the two senate seats, just one, that was all that was needed to derail the Biden agenda, and they couldn’t get it done. Both seats were winnable but pig-headed Trump supporters pissed off at Kemp and Raffensburger for not sufficiently backing the “steal the vote” narrative stayed home in protest. And as a result, Biden got a free hand to reign pain and destruction on the populace.
And now, this truly evil man, a racist and a socialist, is going to get re-elected because the Georgia GOP’ers could not find a single capable candidate who did not impregnate 4 different women and never stuck around to support any of them.
Too many times to count, the Republicans are just too stupid to be trusted with any power or influence.
