Soros-linked group that advocates defunding the police campaigns for Democratic Georgia Senate candidate Raphael Warnock

“There is so much at stake, in Georgia and our country as a whole,” a webpage for the GA WAFP with several events listed this week reads. “Join us in calling to make sure everyone in Georgia votes in the runoff election for Rev. Warnock.”

The organization, which lists Warnock as one of its endorsed candidates on their website and has been backed by Hungarian billionaire George Soros in the past, supports what it refers to as the “People’s Charter,” which demands that government “shift resources away from policing, jails and detention centers, endless wars and agencies that separate families” and instead direct those resources to “schools, housing, healthcare and jobs, to enable all people — especially Black and brown people, immigrants, and Indigenous people — to thrive.”

The charter has been signed by some of the most liberal members of Congress, including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rep. Rashida Tlaib, Rep. Ilhan Omar, and Rep. Ayanna Pressley.

“We’ve always said that electing Joe Biden was a doorway, not a destination,” National Director of WFP Maurice Mitchell said earlier this year. “The People’s Charter is that destination.”

“The only way to stop police violence is to defund the police and instead create, uplift and fund the community services that keep Black people safe, healthy and free,” the organization tweeted in August.

“We need to reimagine policing and reimagine the relationships between law enforcement and communities,” Warnock said on the campaign trail over the summer. “We certainly need to demilitarize the police so we can rebuild the trust between the police and the community.”

Warnock’s opponent responded to the phone bank events by accusing him of pushing policies that will make Georgia “less safe.”

“Raphael Warnock has a history of attacking our police officers, calling them gangsters, thugs, bullies, and a threat to our children, so it’s disgusting — but not surprising — that he now wants to defund them and make every Georgia family, community, and neighborhood less safe,” Stephen Lawson, the communications director for Warnock’s opponent, Sen. Kelly Loeffler, told the Washington Examiner.

The Working Families Party did not immediately respond to a request for comment from the Washington Examiner.

The Warnock campaign told the Washington Examiner that “Rev. Warnock does not support defunding the police” and pointed out that Warnock has praised police in the past, including during a sermon in 2014 when he said, “Thank God for our men and women in uniform.”

Warnock has been highly criticized over the past couple of weeks for comments that have resurfaced from his time as a pastor at various churches across the country.

Earlier this week, Warnock was slammed by military veteran and Arkansas Sen. Tom Cotton, who told him to drop out of the race after a video surfaced of the reverend saying that “nobody can serve God and the military.”

Warnock’s team vehemently denied wrongdoing saying that the comment was part of a sermon was based on a biblical verse, and the reverend was “speaking about the need to commit to moral life before pursuing other priorities.”

Last week, Warnock was slammed by his political opponents over a video from 2016 showing him calling on the public to “repent” for supporting Donald Trump as well as the “worship of whiteness.”

Warnock has also drawn criticism for his time as a pastor at a Harlem church that hosted and praised Cuban dictator Fidel Castro.

The reverend is set to square off against Loeffler in January in a runoff election that will play a significant role in determining which political party controls the Senate for the next two years.

Polling released this week suggests the race is essentially a dead heat.
