¶ Walker Attacked Warnock For Being A Pro-Choice Pastor
[AUDIO] Walker Said Warnock Was Going Against “Some Of The Things” Martin Luther King Fought About And Criticized His Support For Abortion.
“Walker: Well, I'm totally shocked. First of all, he's a pastor in Martin Luther King's church, who believes in what Martin Luther King fought about but some of the things he seems to be going against. You know, one of the first things that shocked me is his way of saying that he believes in abortion. He talks about there's no room for a doctor, a mother and the government in the hospital. But what about the unborn child? I told someone, do anyone think about the 10 commandments anymore? Thou shall not kill and you never know who is being born and every life is important. Let’s go back to the 10 commandment and every man should be treated fairly, that’s what it talks about in the bible. The things this Senator Warnock voted for, now he has a record that he is going along with all these terrible things.” [Great America Show with Lou Dobbs, GA, 03/07/22]; 220307_EEA_482
