TERRELL: Warnock ‘uses the religious cloth as an excuse to justify his conduct’

Leo Terrell appeared on Newsmax Tuesday to discuss the upcoming Senate runoff in Georgia, the candidates and their undying support for President Trump. 

“I think the fact that Kelly and David are supporting the $2000 is an indication that they’re Trump republicans, Lyndsay,” he said. “They put people first.”

“I urge conservative republicans, the Old Guard, to get on board. This is a historic time. People have lost their homes, their jobs, democrats have shut down states and this is a needed shot in the arm. And I will submit to you that the support by Kelly and David Perdue is an indication that they are in lockstep with Donald J. Trump. And I’ll tell you right now, I hope Mitch McConnell jumps on board as well.” 

Terrell warned that the left will destroy American values and electing Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue to the Senate is the only way to protect them. 

“Donald Trump should say the following. Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue are essential, necessary, to not only preserve the Trump legacy but to maintain American values. The left, if they get in power in the Senate, will destroy the best things about America. They will destroy it and take it too far left,” he said. “Lyndsay, the fundamental reason why I left the democratic party and voted republican and voted for Trump is because he puts American values first. Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue put American values first. They protect the police, they believe in school choice, they believe in the right to bear arms and they believe in the right of freedom of religion,” he added. 

Terrell blasted House leadership for failing to unite behind the president in this critical time, and urged leaders to stand with him to maintain control of the country. 

“This is why I’m disappointed, like the president, with the House leadership. There should be unanimous support behind Donald J. Trump. He’s not a lame duck president. This man works 24/7. He cares about this country 24/7 and that’s why I have gravitated towards republican,” he said. “I am a Trump republican, not a republican, a Trump republican. And I think that the House leadership and the Senate leadership – you hear me Mitch? – you get behind the president, we have to support Kelly and David, we win the Senate and we maintain control of this country by keeping Joe Biden, AOC and Chuck Schumer in check.”

Throughout the last several weeks, videos have surfaced of Raphael Warnock attacking police officers, members of service and other groups – even hosting Fidel Castro at his parish. 

“When I was there last week in Georgia, I hammered this guy. He got a pass, Lyndsay, in the November election but his words have come back to haunt him. His attack against military and God, the fact that he has thrown police officers under the bus. Look at those brave Nashville police officers that risked their lives,” he said. “He has a total disregard for police officers.”

Terrell urged that Raphael Warnock is a danger to not only the state of Georgia, but to the country as a whole.

“He is so far left he is a danger to the Senate and he’s a danger to the state of Georgia,” he said. “And I’ll tell you right now, he plays the race card, which is insulting to me because it’s his own words that are being used against him. He tried to use that against Kelly, it doesn’t work. There’s a tremendous amount of support among people of all color for Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue,” he added.  

“It’s a combination of everything but it’s a situation that Raphael Warnock has gotten a pass because he happens to be a preacher and he uses the religious cloth as an excuse to justify his conduct,” he continued. 

When asked about his thoughts on Stacey Abrams’ sister making a federal judgement, Terrell called it an “embarrassment” and said she should have recused herself. 

“I’ve been a lawyer. This judge, who happens to be the sister of Stacey Abrams, should have recused herself and this, Lindsey, is where politics and law intervene and you know what? It’s wrong,”  he said. 

“Those voter rolls should be purged because what you have are potential voters that can vote in multiple states. The county election bureau made a decision, it should be respected by this federal judge but politics is in play and the fact that she’s Stacey Abrams’ sister, to me, is an embarrassment on the federal judiciary.”
