Sen. Warnock Gets Schooled After Trying to Tell Christians What the Bible Says About Helping the Poor

Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-GA) got schooled after he tried to tell Christians what the Bible says about helping the poor in his defense of not voting for President Donald Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill (OBBB).

In a clip posted on Monday on X, Warnock spoke at the US Capitol and went on a lengthy diatribe against Republicans, accusing them of being like the fictional character Robin Hood, but in reverse.

"We're taking away health care from kids and then burdening them with the debt," Warnock said. "We are engaged in Robinhood in reverse, this body of stealing from the poor in order to give to the rich. This massive transfer of wealth from the bottom to the top. This is socialism for the rich."

Why the One Big Beautiful Bill Must Pass—Despite Its Ugly Parts

The Democrat senator and reverend, then, took a swipe at the opposition, who are of faith, claiming they weren't reading the same book as he was when he tried to claim Scripture supports the use of the government to aid the poor.

"But, if I'm honest, there are days when I have to ask people of my faith tradition as a Christian, 'Are we reading the same book?'" Warnock explained. "The book I know says I was hungry, and you fed me. I was sick, I was in prison, and you visited me; I was a stranger, and you welcomed me…."

"The book that I love says learn to do good, seek justice, rescue the oppressed, defend the orphan, plead for the widow," he added. "Speak out, judge righteously, defend the rights of the poor and the needy."

"And for those of us who have a vote at this moment, from my colleagues who are swinging on a moral dilemma, I hear the Prophet Micah say, 'He has already told you what is good,'" Warnock continued. "And what does the Lord require? Is that you do justice, love kindness, and walk humbly with your God."

When the clip surfaced, it went as well as you can imagine, as one person after another absolutely torched the senator for missing the part about the Bible calling on the church to help people, not the government.

"The book he reads says to be willing and joyful givers," one person wrote in response. "The book he reads says to give of yourself, not by force. The book he reads says taking care of the poor and the hungry is the job of the church, not the job of the government."

Another added:

We are reading the same book, but with different interpretations. You seem to read it in an exegesis perspective, while I think eisegesis is correct. Yes, 'when I was hungry...' means we help. It does not mean we take it as a dependent. If someone shows up and is in need, I would bring them in, feed them, let them get some rest, and maybe even help them get on their feet. But no, they cannot 'move in.' They have to be working towards self-sustainment.
In the case of illegal immigration, well, they came in, invited their friends, wrecked the house, ate all my food, and drove me into poverty while contributing almost nothing. Oh, and they shot my dog!

A third person wrote, "The 'book' also says this: 'If a man doesn't work, he doesn't eat.' 2 Thess 3:10."

Another person wrote, "Nice try, Pastor Politician. The Bible also says, 'Thou shalt not lie'—maybe start there. Using Scripture to push open borders and endless welfare is manipulation, not faith. Christ wasn't a socialist, Senator."

The Democratic senator from Georgia is all for allowing illegal aliens to stay in our country after former President Joe Biden's policies encouraged the invasion of illegals at our southern border, as RedState's Mike Miller reported.
