Beware the Reprobates

Crooks, shysters, perverts and reprobates of all stripes have been involved in politics for centuries. What's incredible is how often voters fail to conduct due diligence, to delve into a person's past before voting for him or her. Often, it's the desire to vote the party line because of antipathy toward the opposite party. Sometimes, it's due to a gullible, naive mindset, i.e., easily getting swayed by the silver tongue and pie-in-the-sky promises.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, undoubtedly one of the nation's best governors, barely won his 2018 race against former Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum, beating him by less than 1 percent. If Gillum had been a good candidate and upstanding citizen, that close margin would be understandable. But as recent events prove, Gillum is a bad egg.

Last March, police responded to a report of drug use at a South Florida hotel. They walked into a room where a drunken Gillum was with a gay male escort, and crystal meth was being used. Recently Gillum checked himself into a rehab clinic. Imagine if he had won the governorship.

Additionally, there have been untold scoundrels whose crooked and immoral dealings took place while they were already in office.  In the 1990s, the late Congressman Dan Rostenkowski of Illinois served 17 months in prison for mail fraud. He was one of numerous members and employees of the U.S. House arrested or indicted in the House Post Office scandal, which involved embezzlement and mail fraud.

In 2017, former New York Congressman Chris Collins, a Republican from Erie County, was sentenced to 26 months in prison for insider trading, wire fraud and lying to the FBI.

And then there's the infamous Anthony Weiner, the disgraced New York Congressman and former husband of Huma Abadin, an aide to Hillary Clinton. Weiner resigned from Congress in 2011 after it was revealed that he was sending explicit photos of himself to an adult woman. While Weiner was running for mayor of New York a few months later, details surfaced that he had sent more explicit photos under the alias “Carlos Danger" -- some of them to underaged females.

In 2017, Weiner was sentenced to 21 months in prison and a $10,000 fine for "sexting," or transferring obscene material to a minor. Even beyond this mess, there seems to be evidence that Huma was bringing home sensitive material from then Secretary of State Clinton on a laptop and / or thumb drives. Whether and to what extent that data was hacked will probably never be known.

The FBI reportedly found some of Huma's emails on a laptop she shared with Weiner, and which Weiner used to access porn sites. It has been well established for decades that porn sites are chock-full of viruses and malware -- indeed, the porn is often nothing more than a ruse or lure used to enter the computers of unwitting and randy rubes on the other end.

Which brings us to the Georgia runoff election on Tuesday. One of the Democrat candidates, the "Rev." Raphael Warnock, is a degenerate hypocrite. He's blatantly anti-semitic, has abused his wife (according to her televised statements that are being ignored by the corrupt media), and reportedly ran a summer camp in which children were abused back in the early 2000's. Additionally, the late Fidel Castro, one of the most cruel and vile dictators in world history, received a standing ovation in 1995 at the Harlem church where Warnock served as a youth pastor.

Warnock is the Rev. Jeremiah Wright on steroids. He's so evil, he ought not to be within 10 points of incumbent Sen. Kelly Loeffler. Alarmingly, Warnock is ahead of Loeffler by 1 to 2 percentage points in three polls less than 48 hours before the polls open in the Peach State. I cannot say for sure whether a large number of black Georgians approve of Warnock's far-left policies, hatred of Jews, and apparently abusive behavior toward his wife and the mother of his children. Or are they unaware of it because the disgraceful and hyper-partisan news media is covering up the truth about this scumbag?

Our nation is on the verge of committing what could be a suicidal act: Should Warnock and his Democrat counterpart Jon Ossoff win their races, their party will have complete control of the federal government. Once that happens, Democrats will eliminate the Senate filibuster, stack the Supreme Court with leftist justices, admit D.C. and Puerto Rico as states (thus giving the Senate four more Democrat senators), and have free rein to ramrod catastrophic policies down our throats, including the green new deal and socialized medicine. Eventually, the Democrats will see to it that the Electoral College falls by the wayside, and it goes without saying, they'll go after the First and Second Amendments with a vengeance. The Bible and conservative talk radio will soon be canceled out as "hate speech."

A reprobate politician is bad enough when he turns out to be a lying, self-serving and corrupt narcissist who doesn't serve his constituents well. But if, on top of that, if he helps eliminate all checks and balances and lock in corrupt one-party rule that will unleash American totalitarianism, such a politician is pure evil, the Manchurian candidate writ large. That describes Raphael Warnock to a T.

I pray that Georgians don't throw away our liberty. We're literally standing at the precipice.

Maybe Ossoff isn't concerned because Warnock isn't an anti-Semite. His relationship with the local synagogue and rabbi seems to suggest otherwise.

[T-Mo]

Yes, he is.
Not sure if Warnock's anti-Semitism concerns him, though.

Isn't Ossoff himself a Jew?
