Senator Mark Warner was traveling across his home state of Virginia on Monday en route to a meeting of his fellow Democrats. He stopped at Buc-ee’s in Rockingham County because he claims he was hungry. Warner says Buc-ee’s is a must-stop, and he loves the popular roadside gas station and mega-mart. That’s pretty funny when you consider the owner of the beaver-centric joint is a conservative and the store is in a county that is 70 percent Republican.
Check out the video. Hope you like tight shots. (WATCH)

Leftists have to lie to get votes. This is one of the most ridiculous.

The pander is strong with this one.
Posters compared Warner’s video to Democrat Chuck Schumer’s infamous cheese-on-raw-burger-patties grilling photo.
Sure, buddy. You love their s*** so much you had a staffer buy it and had to read the labels on-camera to see what you were talking about. If you actually ate their food regularly, you'd know their jerky is only mid. It's the fudge and brisket that are the standouts.
Next time you do a video, have your buddy Chuck Schumer give you tips for grilling cheeseburgers first so you don't look like such a shallow, pandering phony a**tard on camera.

Dude had to look and read the labels to see which ones they handed him for this propaganda post.
— Hiwattorange (@hiwattorange) September 7, 2026
Yes. Every fan of either of those needs to read the bag because they can't remember which ones they bought.

Just one of the "little" people, right Warner! He had to read the product labels on what he supposedly just bought for the video's dialogue! What a complete phony.

Warner hadn’t seen those jerky packages until seconds before this video was shot.
Commenters say Warner is trying so hard to look like a normal person. Did he take ‘acting human’ lessons from Eric Swalwell?

Wow, he’s just like us normal people. I’m so much more inclined to vote for him now.

You’ll get no argument from us.
This is at least Warner’s second staged video from this particular Buc-ee’s. He shot a longer one there back in April. (WATCH)
Nothing beats a road trip across the Commonwealth than a quick stop at Buc-ee’s in Rockingham County! pic.twitter.com/4clybqT5uD

Bucees doesn't plan to build stores in blue states! Too many F'ing taxes!
— Wes Sirica (@clemson_tiger92) September 8, 2026
Its because of you we cant get more Buc-ee's.
— Matthew (@MTGolfer2) September 8, 2026
Which you never do.
— IroncladOak (@IroncladOak) September 7, 2026
And your philosophical views are why Bucee’s doesn’t expand into blue states much. 🤷♂️
People like you keep them out of Blue states.
— Jeff Koch (@JKMonster66) September 8, 2026
Such a fraud. You despise the people who go there.

Does the emerging commie wing of your party know you visited the pro-conservative juggernaut retailer? I guess now they do.

Warner is an awkward ambassador for Buc-ee’s considering that they’re fixtures in conservative rural areas. Also, the owner recently said that they’re focusing future store construction in business-friendly red states. It's not a good idea for Warner to keep touting Buc-ee’s since it aligns with everything he and his party oppose. The Democratic Socialists in his party are definitely not huge fans.
