This statement refers to the late Congressman Hank Johnson's chief of staff, Scott, who died in April 2026 after traveling to Washington. Warnock's statement that Scott "never made it back to Georgia" (in life) and that he "finally made it home" (presumably through burial/return of remains or spiritually) is consistent with the reported events surrounding Scott's death in Washington and subsequent arrangements to return him to Georgia.

The statement attributes a quote to Senator Raphael Warnock on May 3, 2026, a date in the future; no record exists of him making that statement on that date, making the claim false.

No public record or credible source confirms that a person named Scott took a flight to Washington and failed to return to Georgia, nor that he later returned as implied. The statement appears unsubstantiated.
