Senator Mark Warner has been a staple in Virginia politics for two decades. He has built a long career in the purple state by claiming to be a “common sense” Democrat. But the party is leaving him, lurching to the left and forcing so-called moderates to decide if they want to be “woke” like their voter base. Apparently, Warner has chosen to embrace the anti-police stance of his party.
His campaign website shows two versions of the same image. At the top of the website, it’s a background. Further down, it’s a primary image. It’s clear he’s wearing a leather jacket that does not have a badge on it in the image at the bottom, but in the top version a Virginia State Police badge can be seen when the image is enlarged. On desktop view, the top image cuts off, which is likely why the campaign missed it. Why would he have an association with law enforcement digitally removed from a campaign image?
Hey @MarkWarnerVA, are you that ashamed of the Virginia State Police that you photoshopped off their logo from your jacket on your campaign website? First defunding the police as Governor, now this? pic.twitter.com/69Zxcmnwcp

“It’s sad that Mark is so ashamed of the police,” Republican Senate candidate Daniel Gade told the Daily Caller News Foundation.
“First he defunded them by $50 million dollars as Governor and now he is photoshopping them out of his campaign. Mark says he wants police reform, but voted against it because it was ‘token legislation.’ He clearly just wants to airbrush the police away.”
Democrats have been pushing to defund police ever since the mantra of Black Lives Matter became a driving force behind the left’s policies. While many Democrats like Warner and presidential candidate Joe Biden have attempted to distance themselves from such concepts, they are still cognizant of their base’s desires. They want no association with law enforcement out of fear that they will be “canceled” by the radical progressives controlling the party today.
It is unconscionable for a United States Senator like Mark Warner to be so against law enforcement that he would have a police emblem photoshopped out of a campaign image. But that’s the state of the Democratic Party today.
COVID-19 may take down an independent news outlet
Nobody said running a media site would be easy. We could use some help keeping this site afloat.
Colleagues have called me the worst fundraiser ever. My skills are squarely rooted on the journalistic side of running a news outlet. Paying the bills has never been my forte, but we’ve survived. We have ads on the site that help, but since the site’s inception this has been a labor of love that otherwise doesn’t bring in the level of revenue necessary to justify it.
When I left a nice, corporate career in 2017, I did so knowing I wouldn’t make nearly as much money. But what we do at NOQ Report to deliver the truth and fight the progressive mainstream media narrative that has plagued this nation is too important for me to sacrifice it for the sake of wealth. We know we’ll never make a ton of money this way, and we’re okay with that.
Things have become harder with the coronavirus lockdowns. Both ad money and donations that have kept us afloat for a while have dropped dramatically. We thought we could weather the storm, but the so-called “surge” or “2nd-wave” that mainstream media and Democrats are pushing has put our prospects in jeopardy. In short, we are now in desperate need of financial assistance.
The best way NOQ Report readers can help is to donate. Our Giving Fuel page makes it easy to donate one-time or monthly. Alternatively, you can donate through PayPal as well. We need approximately $11,500 to stay afloat for the rest of 2020, but more would be wonderful and any amount that brings us closer to our goal is greatly appreciated.
The second way to help is to become a partner. We’ve strongly considered seeking angel investors in the past but because we were paying the bills, it didn’t seem necessary. Now, we’re struggling to pay the bills. This shouldn’t be the case as our traffic the last year has been going up dramatically. June, 2018, we had 11,678 visitors. A year later in June, 2019, we were up to 116,194. In June, 2020, we had 614,192. We’re heading in the right direction and we believe we’re ready talk to patriotic investors who want to not only “get in on the action” but more importantly who want to help America hear the truth. Interested investors should contact me directly with the contact button above.
Election year or not, coronavirus lockdowns or not, anarchic riots or not, the need for truthful journalism endures. But in these times, we need as many conservative media voices as possible. Please help keep NOQ Report going.
American Conservative Movement
Join fellow patriots as we form a grassroots movement to advance the cause of conservatism. The coronavirus crisis has prompted many, even some conservatives, to promote authoritarianism. It’s understandable to some extent now, but it must not be allowed to embed itself in American life. We currently have 8000+ patriots with us in a very short time. If you are interested, please join us to receive updates.
