Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA) said on Tuesday’s “Morning Joe” that he is hopeful the uniformed military will “save us” from President Donald Trump and what he called “his lame people,” including Secretary of War Pete Hegseth.

MIKA BRZEZINSKI, HOST: Joining us now, one of the lawmakers who will meet with Admiral Bradley tomorrow, Vice Chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, Democratic Senator Mark Warner of Virginia. Senator, thank you for coming on the show. What are some of the questions that you will want answers to from Admiral Bradley tomorrow? SEN. MARK WARNER (D-VA): I’m gonna want to get answers on what did Pete Exeth order? Why haven’t we seen the whole unedited video? If there’s nothing inappropriate here, you could have cleared this up without the Admiral coming in. He’s got a great reputation. I respect him. I want to get the truth, and I’m not sure we’ve had the truth from Hegseth yet. Remember, this is an administration that has treated the uniformed military with unprecedented disrespect when they were all brought to get a pep rally in front of Hegseth and Trump. This is an administration that’s fired, you know, uniformed generals from the head of the NSA, the head of the Defense Intelligence Agency, and I think in many ways the uniformed military may help save us from this president and his lame people like Hegseth, because I think their commitment is to the Constitution and obviously not to Trump, and I expect Bradley to adhere to that.
