About this episode

The episode discusses Sen. Mark Warner's contradictory statements regarding voter ID laws and election interference following Trump's address.

After Trump's address on election interference, Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA) scolded CBS for airing it live — then spent the weekend making the media rounds himself. In this breakdown, we catch Warner contradicting himself in real time: telling Margaret Brennan on Face the Nation that China has no proven ability to interfere in U.S. elections, then telling Jonathan Karl on ABC the same day that China "has the capabilities." Warner also calls the SAVE Act's citizenship and photo ID requirements "Jim Crow," then falsely claims Virginia already requires photo ID to vote — a claim Karl corrects him on, on air. We break down the contradictions, the walk-backs, and why Warner dodges the idea of a national voter ID standard.
