No, Rev. Warnock did NOT welcome and celebrate Fidel Castro.
No, Rev. Warnock is NOT hiding information about an arrest or a child abuse scandal...

Earlier, you saw the video below that contained false claims targeting the Georgia Senate candidate that seek to hurt his reputation ahead of the upcoming election. Below are corrections from reputable and independent fact-checkers:
- When Rev, Warnock was a junior employee in New York, the leaders of the church he worked at in 1995 invited Fidel Castro to speak but Rev. Warnock had no input into or control over the invitation as he was a junior staff member.
- Police mistakenly arrested Rev. Warnick for obstruction of justice after he insisted that lawyers be present when police interviewed teens in connection with a child abuse case. The prosecutor dismissed the charge, telling the judge “there was some miscommunication...”. Misinformation is often shared about candidates before important elections to change voter preferences.
The claim that Rev. Warnock is hiding information about an arrest is false. He is not hiding information.
The claim that he personally celebrated Castro in his church is also false.

The pictures below of President-Elect Biden were deceptively edited and framed to mislead social media users and imply improper behavior. These photos are not accurate: the originals show Mr. Biden with members of his family and close friends, or posing for pictures at campaign events...

There is no evidence to support the claim in the post that President-elect Biden is a pedophile. That claim is false. In his more than 40 years of public life, Biden has never been accused of or investigated for any sort of sex crimes involving children. In fact, he is a staunch defender of the protection of children’s rights.

The voting process and count in Fulton County, Georgia have been reviewed, verified and were accurate. There were never 132,000 “likely ineligible” votes cast... See more
Earlier you were shown the post below with the false claim that 132,000 voters in Fulton county were likely ineligible to vote. That misleading claim was based on a list of change of address requests from two years ago. Many voters move to a new address in the same county and remain eligible to vote there. Regina Waller, a spokesperson for Fulton County said that “These claims are simply false and baseless.” An official from the Republican Secretary of State’s office said: “There’s no evidence that these people voted... illegitimately at all.” The votes were recounted and reviewed twice, and no irregularities were found.

The coronavirus vaccines currently being considered for approval cannot and will not alter human genes. They are biologically incapable of doing so. The vaccines are composed of a completely different kind of material, and can “never, ever, enter the genome,” Dr. Kirsty Short, a research fellow at the University of Queensland’s School of Chemistry and Molecular Biosciences, told the press in an interview on November 27...

A post you previously saw from the “Disruptive Physician” has been identified as misinformation meant to mislead social media users. The person who tweeted it has no expertise in this field. The coronavirus vaccines being considered have been extensively tested in trials and are incapable of altering human DNA.

No, Bill Gates did not say that a coronavirus vaccine could be deadly. In fact, Mr. Gates said “'I feel very confident that the COVID-19 vaccine is safe”...
See more
You were previously shown a post containing false claims, which has been debunked. In the interview, Gates was talking about vaccine safety and the potential for all possible side effects, and gave a hypothetical figure to illustrate the number of people who could possibly be affected by them worldwide. Bill Gates never said the vaccine could kill one million people.
