There's a lot here, but I think these clips get to the heart of the article.

Election Day in November narrowed the field for the special Senate election from 21 to just Loeffler and Warnock. After months of battling Republican U.S. Rep. Doug Collins for conservative voters, Loeffler turned her focus to Warnock.

“.@ReverendWarnock has a long history of anti-Israel extremism,” she wrote in a Tweet. “He defended Jeremiah Wright’s anti-Semitic comments. He embraced the anti-Zionist Black Lives Matter) organization. And he thinks Israel is an ‘oppressive regime’ for fighting back against terrorism.”

. . .

In an op-ed published later in the Jewish Insider, Warnock detailed his formal position on Israel, including support for a two-state solution for Middle East peace, an agreement that would allow Israelis and Palestinians to live in secure sovereign territories as independent nations.

Warnock also wrote that he supports unconditional arms sales to Israel and opposes the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement. A separate position paper by Warnock calls for Jerusalem to become a shared capital after a Middle East peace agreement.

“Claims that I believe Israel is an Apartheid state are patently false,” he wrote in the op-ed. “I do not believe that.”

. . .

On Tuesday, a group of nearly 200 rabbis from Georgia and across the country signed a letter in support of Warnock.

“We stand with Rev. Raphael Warnock against these attacks, and implore other Jewish leaders to stand with us,” they wrote.

2. Her TV ads are just fucking vile.

I have to turn the channel every time they come on, they are so sickening. Perdue's aren't much better. They are all so poorly done, they all look like they were made by a junior high AV club, on top of the disgusting lies and nastiness. I really hope they backfire on these putrid assholes.
