Former Sen. John Warner, who represented Virginia in the US Senate for three decades, has died, a former staff member told CNN. He was 94.

Warner died peacefully on Tuesday evening of heart failure, surrounded by his wife Jeanne Warner and other family members, the former staff member said. Warner served in the US Navy during World War II and the Marines during the Korean War. He later served as secretary of the Navy and as a Republican US senator from 1979 through 2009.

Didn’t endorse Oliver North for Senate in 1994.

Supported every Democrat bill for years. Endorsed every democrat he could.

Warner was Elizabeth Taylor’s 6th husband, 7th marriage (Richard Burton x2 just prior to Warner). Liz Taylor was Warner’s 2nd of 3 wives.

The classic country club Republican whose determination to defeat Oliver North was a decisive event in making Va a rat state.

Elizabeth Taylor’s, one time DH. Thanks!
Thought it was he who had THAT honor. Senators, as
well as Hollywood, have certainly changed their
stripes.

Oliver North should not have run. Republican primary voters are guilty of going for the flash. Didn’t work in November. Same thing happened with the son of former treasury sec. Bill Simon in calif. We’re guilty. VA. was definitely more red than Warner in those days. A good OMB guy-Miller- should have won the nomination.

I recall the Fairfax County Victory Party in 1994. When Jahn Wah-nah came up to speak. . . .90% of the audience turned their back on him. . ..

Somebody post just how much this Warner moron did to screw up our US Navy- in just 2 years. Oh, and as Chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee. Take a look at that photo with Liz Taylor-— what an alcoholic washed out idiot. Everything about him yells— deception and deceit. And no conservative— he’s very much like Romney.

John Warner, famous for marrying Liz Taylor. What did he do as a Senator? Typical arsehole RINO
