Sen. Warnock calls Trump a 'plague on the American conscience'
Sen. Raphael Warnock, who made history as Georgia's first Black senator, made clear the importance of his state in the 2020 election and what's at stake this November.
"A vote is a kind of prayer for the world we desire for ourselves and our children, and our prayers are stronger when we pray together," Warnock said. "So together we flipped the Senate, held the House and we sent Joe Biden and Kamala Harris to the White House."
The pastor went on to rail against former President Donald Trump, who he said is "a plague on the American conscience."

Warnock said he saw photos of Trump holding up the Bible and said, “He should try reading it.”
"It says, 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' It says, 'In as much as you've done it unto the least of these, you have done it all. So on to me,'" Warnock said.
"So here we are, America. Are you ready?" Warnock added. "Are you ready to stand up in this moral moment? Stand up for the best in the American covenant. Elections are about the character of a country, and we must decide, again, we are the latest generation of Americans who get to decide what kind of country we want to be."
