Exclusive – Sen. Kelly Loeffler: Church Camp’s ‘Disgusting’ Child Abuse Allegation Should Disqualify WarnockAshley Oliver 28 Dec 2020
ATLANTA — Sen. Kelly Loeffler (R-GA) described a report about mistreatment of children at a church camp that her opponent, Democrat Rev. Raphael Warnock, oversaw in the early 2000s as “disgusting†and said “it should be disqualifying†for his Senate candidacy, providing her remarks in an exclusive interview Monday with Breitbart News.
“What we’ve learned today is really very sad. It’s disgusting, should be disqualifying for serving in the U.S. Senate,†Loeffler said shortly after the Washington Free Beacon published report of one of the camp’s attendees recounting his experience there.
The attendee, Anthony Washington, who was 12 years old at the time, said he received a financial settlement after filing a lawsuit against the camp alleging child abuse, including an instance of counselors pouring urine on him and punishing him by forcing him to sleep outside.
Warnock, who is seeking to unseat Loeffler in Georgia’s January 5 Senate runoff election, served as senior pastor of Baltimore’s Douglas Memorial Community Church, which ran Camp Farthest Out, from about 2001 to 2005. The camp was suspected of child abuse in 2002, and according to a 2002 report by the Baltimore Sun, Warnock was arrested for interfering with a state trooper who was questioning the camp’s counselors on the matter.
Warnock said in his recent debate with Loeffler that he was “trying to make sure that young people who were being questioned by law enforcement had the benefit of counsel,†although the state trooper had said in a police report that counselors being questioned had consented to the interviews after being told they could leave at any time and had no obligation to answer the questions.
