Warnock facing growing scrutiny for church ties to anti-Semitic, black supremacist academic

 Georgia Senate runoff

• Georgia Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock is facing growing scrutiny for his association with Leonard Jeffries, the controversial academic notorious for his fringe Afrocentrist theories and long trail of anti-Semitic diatribes.
• Warnock served as the assistant pastor at Abyssinian Baptist Church in New York City for four years under Rev. Calvin O. Butts, before becoming the youth pastor at the church for six years.

In his first appearance at the church, Leonard addressed allegations by a student reporter with The Harvard Crimson that he'd called the campus publication a "Jewish newspaper" and threatened the reporter's life during an interview.

• Jefferies reportedly told the congregation he'd sat for the interview with the Crimson to discuss multicultural education issues, not anti-Semitism.

The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) has listed Jeffries among the anti-Semitic speakers invited in “disturbing numbers” to appear on college campuses

• In 1991, Jeffries was named a “central member” of the “extreme” wing of the Afrocentrism movement, a faction the ADL defines as “Europhobic and Anti-Semitic, as well as racist, anti-Arab and anti-Catholic.”
• In 2013, Jefferies was elected to replace Nancy Pelosi as the top House Democrat in New York.
