Well stated piece in the National Review that starts off showing Warnock's tweet (same one in the OP), following with:
I've noticed several news accounts refer to how Warnock deleted the tweet due to pressure from the right (i.e., Sen Raphael Warnock Deletes Easter Tweet After Backlash From Religious Right), but this something that all Christians, regardless of mere political leanings, should be outspoken over

the down side with doing that is that creates just that much more of a disconnect from the Jewish roots of the faith, which i sometimes wonder if that did not make it a little easier for Christians to later persecute Jews.
My brethren, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism. James 2:1
If anyone thinks himself to be religious, and yet does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this man’s religion is worthless James 1:26
This you know, my beloved brethren. But everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger; James 1:19

And, this year, I have officially ended the annual "Easter Egg Hunt" at our Church. I never liked it, but I inherited it, and it wasn't "the hill I wanted to die on".
I proposed, however, that this would be our last year, and I was pleasantly surprised at the general agreement, and no apparent opposition.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

We have had, at other churches, a Halloween alternative that involved no witches or goblins, because I don't believe in cheating the kids out of a good time 'just because'.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Just in general, I don't see any way that it can be a good idea for somebody to simultaneously be a pastor and a politician at a high level. Both are full time jobs well beyond 40 hours, to say the least. Also, politics pretty much requires the sort of compromises with the world that are likely to bring reproach on the gospel, even if unintentionally. (This isn't to say that a pastor shouldn't be on a local school board or something like that; I wouldn't see why that would be a problem.)"I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion. I am angry when the same men who say, "Save OUR children" bellow "Build more and bigger bombers." That's right! Blast the children in other nations into eternity, or limbless misery as they lay crippled from "OUR" bombers! This does not jell." - Leonard Ravenhill
