Atlanta, GA — Independent fact-checkers found “no proof” for Kelly Loeffler’s false claim that Reverend Warnock welcomed Fidel Castro to his church. 

Here’s the truth on Loeffler’s false attack: 

• “We found no evidence that Warnock celebrated or welcomed Castro or that he was involved in arranging his appearance.” [Politifact] 
• “Warnock, now the pastor of a church in Atlanta, was the youth pastor at a New York City church when Castro spoke there in 1995.” [Politifact] 
• “The Rev. Raphael Warnock, then the youth pastor at Abyssinian, was not on the dais.” [Politifact]
