Democrats Georgia Republican Senate candidate Herschel Walker launched a seven-figure, statewide ad blitz on Monday highlighting Democratic senator Raphael Warnock’s evictions of tenants at his low-income housing complex and domestic violence allegations by his ex-wife.
One tenant featured in the ad , a Vietnam war veteran, slammed Warnock for taking a $7,000-a-month, tax-free housing allowance from Ebenezer Baptist Church—where Warnock serves as senior pastor and CEO—even as the church’s apartment complex tried to boot residents for owing as little as $28.50 in late rent, according to additional interview footage provided to the Washington Free Beacon by Walker’s campaign.
The TV campaign comes just eight days before polls close in the competitive runoff election, which will determine if the Senate remains evenly split between the parties or if Democrats eke out a one-point majority. Walker has taken aim at the evictions and living conditions at Warnock’s church-owned apartment complex, which has tried to eject multiple residents throughout the pandemic and has been hit with housing code violations for rats, mold, and overflowing garbage, the Free Beacon first reported.
Walker has also highlighted allegations that Warnock hit his ex-wife with his car and left her “financially strapped” by failing to reimburse childcare expenses, even as the pastor’s salary nearly doubled since joining the Senate.
“He ain’t even want you in the building where he’s the senior pastor,” said Phillip White, a 69-year-old Vietnam War veteran, who was interviewed for the ad. “And they pay [Warnock] $7,000 a month.”
Warnock denied that the building was attempting to evict residents, despite court filings that showed the building has tried to oust over a dozen tenants since the start of the pandemic and Fulton County marshals carried out writs of possession on at least two occasions, the Free Beacon first reported .

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
