“Raphael Warnock "believes in no cash bail" and "letting people out of prison that are going to make us prisoners in our own home.”

PolitiFact rated this: Mostly False

PolitiFact says: Warnock does not support eliminating cash bail, but does back ending it for nonviolent offenders. He does not support widespread releases of prison inmates, but he backed a law that reduces sentences for some offenders.

Herschel Walker, U.S. Senate candidate, R-Ga.

“Raphael Warnock "called police thugs, then cut their funding.”

PolitiFact rated this: Mostly False

PolitiFact says: Warnock used the word “thugs” in a 2015 sermon. He was specifically referring to police in Ferguson, Missouri, not police generally. And as a senator, he voted for multiple bills that expanded police resources.
