NAACP Statement in Support Senator Warnock's amendment for Medicaid Expansion

The NAACP supports Senator Warnock's amendment to expand the ACA and close the healthcare coverage gap.

The ACA was designed to ensure that people at all levels of income have affordable healthcare coverage. But as of today – 10 years since the ACA was passed into law – there are still millions who don't have coverage or access to an affordable plan.

It shouldn't matter who you are, what you look like, or where you live. Healthcare access is a right for all. We support Senator Warnock and his efforts to help finish what the passing of the ACA started. It would be shameful for Congress not to take this opportunity to make sure that every American has access to an affordable plan.

Capitol rioter pleads guilty for threatening to kill Georgia Sen. Raphael Warnock

A New York City Proud Boy pleaded guilty for threatening to slice "a throat" and assassinate freshman Sen. Raphael Warnock, R-Ga., before and during the Capitol insurrection.

The Queens man, Eduard Florea, 41, admitted to his own guilt by video on Monday from a federal jail in Brooklyn, and is now facing up to fifteen years in prison for one count of transmitting threats to injure and another count of possessing ammunition after a previous conviction.

Court documents show Florea's increasingly violent rhetoric leading up to the swearing in of Warnock, who in a momentous Georgia runoff election last year established himself as the state's first black senator in U.S. history.

"Warnock is going to have a hard time casting votes for communist policies when he's swinging with the fish," Florea wrote on Parlor, a microblog popular with conservatives, on Jan. 5, just ahead of the fatal riot he participated in a day later.

"Dead men can't pass [expletive] laws," he added that day, also mentioning "definitely slicing a throat" during the coming insurgency.

Florea is set to be sentenced on November 29, according to federal prosecutors.

"With today's guilty plea, Florea admits to threatening the life of a successful candidate for the U.S. Senate and to urging others to take up arms to unleash violence at the Capitol," Jacquelyn M. Kasulis, the acting U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of New York, said in a statement. "This office is deeply committed to protecting our democratic institutions and to using all available tools to preserve the public safety, uphold the rule of law and support the peaceful transfer of power."

"The President re-affirmed his commitment to re-authorizing the John Lewis Voting Rights Act and his strong belief that every eligible voter should be able to vote and have their vote counted."

Rev. Raphael Warnock falsely accused of running over his ex-wife's foot

Georgia senate candidate Reverend Raphael Warnock has been falsely accused by his now ex wife, Ouleye Ndoye of running over her foot with his car in an incident back in March of 2020. The two were in the middle of divorce preceedings and were having an argument about his wife being allowed to take their children to West Africa for a funeral when Ndoye claims the incident happened.

His Republican challenger Sen. Kelley Loeffler, right wing pundits like Tucker Carlson, and other Republicans are trying to use this against Warnock although the incident report from Atlanta Police Department shows no injuries to Ndoye. Medical examiners also determined Warnock's estranged wife's foot was ok. Investigators wrote that she was hesitant to show her foot at first but once she did, they too saw no signs that her foot was ran over.

Warnock also addressed the incident and said that Loeffler is attacking his family close to the election and he is going to instead focus on Georgians and their needs.

"I'm going to stay focused on my family which includes their mother and I'm going to stay focused on the people of Georgia who during a pandemic are still waiting on relief all these months later while politicians including Kelly Loeffler are busy playing games."

Warnock never faced any type of charges related to this incident.
