Sen. Mark Warner (L), Democrat of Virginia, speaks alongside House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (C), Democrat of Maryland, and US Senator Chris Van Hollen (R), Democrat of Maryland, outside of the headquarters of the United States Postal Service in Washington, DC, August 18, 2020.

The group charged with allegedly trying to kidnap Michigan’s governor, also talked about taking similar action against Ralph Northam, the governor of Virginia.

Earlier this year, the president singled out both, while urging his supporters to “liberate” these states.

LIBERATE VIRGINIA, and save your great 2nd Amendment. It is under siege!

Freshly off the final debate in his reelection campaign, Virginia Senator Mark Warner (D) joins us to talk about that and more.
