Mark Warner actually said...

"Why would anybody go innovate anymore? Why would anybody go and be an entrepreneur?"

"This would be an effort that would not allow to supplement those efforts, but it would be for those companies, particularly foreign companies and others, that are looking at investing in America."

"I'm very supportive of your effort, in terms of these innovation centers and research capabilities."

"I appreciate your service as mayor and as somebody who has been involved in the nitty-gritty of economic development."
