Warnock’s Georgia win means politics of envy, grievance beat hope, prosperity message – here’s how

Liz Peek Articles

To someone who loves this country, it is almost inconceivable that Georgia voters have elected to send Rafael Warnock to the United States Senate. Democrat Warnock, a Black preacher who has thundered from the pulpit that “America must repent for its worship of whiteness,” has edged out Republican Sen. Kelly Loeffler to win one of two Senate seats up for grabs in run-off elections. The other race, between Democrat Jon Ossoff and Republican incumbent Sen. David Perdue, is as yet too close to call.

The politics of envy and grievance – of class warfare and racial hostilities — have won out over messages of hope, prosperity and opportunity for all. How could this happen?

Simply put, Republicans did not turn out in the numbers needed to beat an energized Democrat campaign. A campaign that was funded by massive contributions from liberals across the nation, spurred by dreams of a progressive future; a future driven by the prospect that taking control of the senate would allow them, as Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said, to “change the world.”

The liberal media will be quick to blame President Trump, and indeed he bears some responsibility. Though he made two trips to the Peach State to stump for the GOP candidates, and just the night before the vote held an energizing rally for thousands of supporters, he also muddied the waters with ongoing charges of election fraud and by picking fights with Georgia officials.

Weeks ago angry Trump backers in Georgia began a #BoycottTheVote campaign; local polling done in late December showed “Out of 691 registered voters polled in the survey of 800 Georgians, 78 said they were not likely to vote. Of those 78, the split broke 32% Republican to 25% Democrat.” Those disaffected Republicans were somehow convinced that not voting in the senate races would punish those who had “stolen” the presidential race from Donald Trump in November.

Instead, that voter boycott will punish the nation.

Also, in the run-up to the election, the release of a phone call in which Trump exhorted Georgia Secretary of State to “find” 11,780 votes to give him the state likely turned off a number of Republican voters fed up with our mercurial president. Exit polls indicate that 63% of self-described “moderates” voted for Warnock, whose agenda does not promise moderation.

The contest became a referendum on President Trump, whipping up the same anger that drove President-elect Joe Biden to win on November 3. This did not have to happen.

The race in Georgia should have been a referendum on the Democrats’ agenda. Voters should have chosen between GOP policies that have built our country up, creating jobs and opportunities, versus Democrat policies that aim to punish successful Americans. Policies that protect traditional rights and freedoms versus those that allow a censorious mob to decide what Americans can or cannot say. Policies that aim to make all neighborhoods safe, including those populated largely by minorities, versus attempts to defund the police and let criminals out of jail.

Democrats appealed to the 32% of the electorate that is Black in Georgia, running on righting the purported racism that has in their view held back progress for that segment of the nation. Exit polls show 92% of Blacks voted for Warnock, pastor of the storied Atlanta church once co-pastored alongside his father by Martin Luther King, Jr.

Those voters shrugged off allegations of domestic abuse made by Warnock’s wife and a history of lauding the controversial Black minister Rev. Jeremiah Wright,  whose infamous “God Damn America” sermon rattled the first campaign of President Obama, who attended Wright’s church.

Instead, they warmed to Warnock’s alarms about police brutality and promises of criminal justice reform. Warnock hewed closely to the platform of President-elect Joe Biden, with vague promises about investing in infrastructure, investing in climate and in education; if voters wonder where the money will come from to fund these initiatives, a visit to his campaign website will not satisfy their curiosity. There is, understandably, no mention of taxes.

In reviewing the Georgia election, critics will rightly award the liberal media a starring role. The press acted as apologists for both Rafael Warnock and Jon Ossoff, instead of reporters.

For example, after an ad from Kelly Loeffler highlighted Warnock’s domestic abuse issues, a “fact-check” from a CBS affiliate ran with a story titled “Warnock’s character questioned in dredged up bodycam of dispute with ex-wife.” The term “dredged up” suggests that the footage of the dispute with his ex-wife was from the distant past, and that resurfacing it was somehow underhanded. Not so, on either count. The video is from March, and the confrontation involved the police.

Other news outfits “explained” Warnock’s endorsement of Jeremiah Wright and other disturbing messages, which the Democrat senator-elect calls “truth-telling.” An admiring piece in the New York Times, for instance, notes that Loeffler’s campaign used his “sermons to try and paint him as a ‘radical’ — and their claims have often been labeled by fact checkers as misleading.” That, even as the Times acknowledges that Warnock has written that white churches “had been active and complicit participants “in slavery, segregation and other manifestations of white supremacy.”

Georgia’s Senate runoff contests were viewed by left and right as critical to the future direction of the country. Republicans see Democrat control of the senate possibly leading to fundamental and damaging changes in our nation. Given the chance, Democrats may push to change the Electoral College, pack the Supreme Court, allow Puerto Rico and Washington D.C. to become states and other measures that would guarantee one-party rule and pave a progressive pathway to the future.

Georgia voters have made a terrible choice. If Jon Ossoff beats David Perdue, handing control of the Senate to New York Democrat Chuck Schumer and, consequently, all three branches of our government to Democrats, the damage will be complete.

As for President Trump, his reputation and his extraordinary support among Republicans, as well as his chances of running in 2024, have been dealt a serious blow.

Liz Peek: Liberal lies have created this moment – Trump can do this to secure his legacy

For four years, Democrats and their handmaidens in the liberal media have lied their heads off, spinning false narratives aimed at undermining President Trump.

With all of the documented and fact checked lies from tRump, this is a satire page, right?

Why not use your gift of writing to bring people together. The curtain has been lifted and we see clearly his tantrums have escalated to violence. Why not write on how we can solve problems together instead of continuing this lie that Americans that don’t vote my party are evil.

All of the non Republicans in the government TOGETHER could not tell as many lies as Mr. Trump – starting with the crown size at the Inauguration.

There's nothing more incredible than a Trump supporter who claims to be concerned about honesty.

So ridiculous.

Ah, you spent your entire column burying the lede:
"But now, to maintain his powerful voice and leadership, he needs to concede. The Left is using his refusal to admit defeat as more proof that he is undermining our democracy. He cannot allow this to be his legacy; his presidency has been so much bigger than that.

Trump should confound the Left, as he has done on so many occasions, by calling off the shaky legal battles and by stepping aside. If only for now."

No wonder you can only find work at Fox News.

You are truly deranged,

Liz Peek, you are so full of shit. Your opinions are only yours and create division you pos entitled white Trumper. F u!

You have got to be smoking something! Trump being a lowlife whiny pissant created his own downfall!

You are an idiot. You should be ashamed of trying to prolong this countries horror of the last 4 years. These are times the 1st amendment should be abolished. HE LOST!!!! QUIT BEING A SORE LOSER AND ACT LIKE AN ADULT. And, people like you are only fueling his demented state.

www.foxnews.com/opinion/obama-warning-biden-americans-worried-liz-peek

Produce the exact evidence that Obama ever said this. Better yet, stop writing altogether. You truly are grotesque.

You are interviewing with a media resource that has been defrauding the public of many truthful facts for "decades." You should focus on all the fraud covered up by the legal industry, in this country, in the hands of people like Donald J. Trump, Barack Obama and George Wl Bush and their "Friends and Affiliations" employed in the very unethical media industry.

Imagine still thinking the Russia investigation was a witch-hunt.

Go read the REPUBLICAN SENATE report.

Russia tried to help Trump win, because Trump is owned (literally owned) by Russian money. He has a negative net worth.

After the damage done to our democracy, after the murder and mayhem committed by RightWing nuts who actually BELIEVE the vitriol and lies and disinformation spouted by the likes of Liz Peek, she proves that she has no allegiance to the USA, no allegiance to our society (and free elections) and is strictly sycophant of extremist RightWing groups and their propaganda Network, Fox (who supply her with money, thereby giving Liz Peek her "cause" for spreading lies). She's the worst.

Oh honey! Trump is the congenital liar. And remember, in the U.S. a business states it’s rules…No Shirt No Shoes No Service. Don’t follow the rules? Goodbye.

This Peek woman is very very sick.

This election is not over: the China-Hunter-Biden scandal only grows, polls are narrowing – 100+ million people yet to vote. Plus, Joe stepped in it again last night.

Here's hoping the investigations into the insurrectionist conspiracy find media outlets like Fox — and bigmouth disinformation spreader like Liz Peek — financially culpable. Hit them in the pocketbook, where it really hurts them.

Good god but you are a stupid vile sack of shit.

I love your articles. Love the truth. Article on Fox said go to twitter or facebook. I have banned myself from the Democratic control of twitter. I tried other ways posted to contact you and express my gratitude for your fairness. All other channels to contact you seem to be blocked. So… Thankyou and keep fighting for Liberty and Justice!

Why was your own son investigated after being abruptly turfed out of the National Security Council? Takes nepotism and corruption to know it so well.

Does this person get paid to spread this bullshit,Its Fake News.

The polls are narrowing? LOL electoral-vote.com/

The fuck

all over face book biden gaffe re lincoln saying he has new eye computer he was looking up and dint read reply right with all the gadgetry the white house have they should be able to confirm its true or not even if a slight suspicion trump could say biden and his team were corrupt want another debate but biden to be checked by independent electrocis bods and to be screened come on man u know it makes sense je

why didnt trump ask biden why he and obuma didnt setthe record straight when the media nd the nad four said it was trump that did the cages ask trump just ask that at a press gathering or the lady that does the daily white house chat

Let's face it Joe Biden is a LIAR & a criminal, Period! Poll 95% say Trump won the debate. Bottom line is Joe ['THE BIG GUY'] Biden flip flops, lies & sells out Americans to enrich himself besides being a crooked & corrupt crime family. PERIOD! Joe was an absolute mess in this last debate! Biden was lying, flip flopping, stuttering, slurring & a forgetful mess. He looked terrible. Sounded terrible. Mic drops where when Trump calls Joe 'THE BIG GUY' & Trump says “They spent 48M on me & found no collusion …nothing. I can spend $1 million on you Joe and find plenty.” LOVE IT WTG TRUMP!! Lt. Tony Bobulinksi confirmed 'THE BIG GUY IS JOE BIDEN & HE GETS 10% [Tony Bobulinski: "There’s no question "H" stands for Hunter & the "Big Guy" is Joe Biden"] & Hunter gets 20%. Tony also said that the Chinese involvement in the deal was for "political or influence investment" on their part, and that "Hunter wanted to use the company as his personal piggy bank by just taking money out of it as soon as it came from the Chinese." Biden's are as corrupt as Clintons, PERIOD!

Thank you LP. We need more American’s with your insight.

tRump can't even fundraise as well as Biden – people hate him – except Russian-loving bimbos like you with their heads so far up 45's ass they can't see anything but his polyps. Is that why right wing bimbo Trump horndogs always wear sphincter-colored lip color? Will Putin let you work at his pool house along with 45 and his baby mama sex worker in January? Probably not – after all you're not "an elite" – you're insignificant, irrelevant and inconsequential – just another fading bleached blonde liar. Please make sure to attend his upcoming rally – increase the viral spread! BTW your roots are showing – you even lie about your hair color – looks kind of like the color of a bleached dog turd on a hot August afternoon. Ugly – inside and out.

You claim Obama/Biden separated families. Lie. Prove it.

The left-wing intolerance visible in newsrooms & on social media is born on our increasingly intolerant campuses. My generation has given in to the often outrageous demands of young people – too scared of being mobbed on social media.
This must stop. Stop donating to your school if you don’t like their policies – and tell them why. If you are a college administrator or trustee- speak your mind. We have all been enablers, and it’s time to push back.

Noticed your chat with Harris. Looks like you are oblivious to Trump’s loss with the Supreme Court. It’s FOLLOW THE MONEY stupid. When Deutsche Bank calls in Donnie’s debts he’ll be buying Melania’s dresses from Walmart. The man is a crook and has been for decades. Enjoy!

You’re just riding on trumps gravy train, where are you going to be when he goes to Jail?

peek, 20 in 69. oh those Young people. moron.

I'm astonished that you would sell yourself to foxnews to spread false information and promote unrest in our country. Shame upon you and your family Liz Peek.

You are a complete and total nut job.

Ridden with Biden 2020 . I read your recent article about Bidden as read it I said to myself gee it sounds like you work for Fox news. Icloiked up to the top of article and saw with I wad right. Please sop supporting Trump who constantly lies.

Fringe nutball Liz peek is always good for a laugh….sorry Liz…trump is out with the trash in November but you’re always great for a laugh…not that you have any readers 😁😁

Put up a picture of monuments to get a rise out of her base that puts statutes over people’s lives. You are the worst propagandist on FOX. Not the biggest because you all are full of shit. I mean literally you are the worst at your job.

UNREAL that BLM ran all the vendors selling Trump stuff off the streets & kept people away from the rally. PLUS Obama NEVER EVER IN 8 YRS MENTIONED JUNETEENTH?? Trump is spot on, he has done more for Blacks in 3 yrs than Biden in 47 yrs or 24 yrs of BHO, Bush & Clinton inleadership. But Just WOW Trump said he was "average" at Tulsa rally, he was far beyond avg. Trump is back baby making us PROUD & LOUD while also making us laugh, ie West Pt. ramp & throwing water glass. There is TRUTH & IRON IN HIS WORDS OF WISDOM, loved making burning, stomping & desecration of our Flag a crime & serving time in prison. It also should include statues & monuments. #Trump2020 #MAGA #KAG

Well stated.

Be interesting to see in the next few months how many left of center are still silent…and what happens when it’s cold out and the time has changed…

Liz Peek, the greedy, money-grubbing minion of Faux News — the Only Corporate-Owned Propaganda Network in the USA, and a supporter of Tea Party Republicans — opines about radicalism "on the left". If it wasn't so disgusting, it'd be funny.

Three generations of brainwashing is paying off for the liberals. Where were we when our kids were being taught to be so intolerant and ignorant of any valurs.

Liz Peek: another: Faux News, uber-wealthy blonde (bottle or not) clone who spouts racist, entitled B.S., and gets her wilfully ignorant audience to swallow it with a spoonful of class warfare. Yeeeeech!!

You are absolutely right!

Liz Peek and her husband Jeff Peek, former CEO of CIT Group, have three children. In October 2019, their son Andrew Peek, Donald Trump's Europe and Russia adviser, was abruptly removed from his position as Head of European and Russian Affairs at the NSC and is currently under federal investigation.
You are part of spys family and traitors. Never the least you keep a good disguise.

omg honey, you are sooooo stupid

Thanks Liz Peek!
