[Breitbart] Georgia Senate Democrat candidate Raphael Warnock has praised the controversial Rev. Jeremiah Wright on many occasions and praised Marxism as a way to "teach the black church."During the 2008 presidential election, Warnock appeared on Fox News to defend Wright after it was discovered that then-presidential candidate Barack Obama had close ties to the reverend. Warnock hopes to unseat Sen. Kelly Loeffler (R-GA) during the January Senate runoff election.
During his March 2008 appearance on Fox News, he told host Greta Van Susteren that Wright’s legacy as a pastor was "social transformation that’s been the hallmark of Rev. Jeremiah Wright’s ministry."
He added that this legacy of "social transformation" was "why we are happy to honor" Wright. Warnock defended Wright’s "God Damn America" sermon as a form of "truth-telling," which makes the United States "uncomfortable."
The Democrat chided the media for the "constant playing over and over again of the same sound bites outside of context." He also praised Wright as a "preacher and a prophet."
