Mark Moran, a former contestant on the HBO Max series "FBoy Island" and previously a Wall Street banker, is challenging longtime Senate Intelligence Committee ranking member Mark R. Warner, D-Va., whom he calls an "oligarch" who is no longer serving his constituents.

Warner is the former richest and now fourth-richest senator, with a net worth upwards of $200 million, and is running for his fourth term despite a snippet unearthed by Moran showing him pledging to serve only two.

"Since the establishment is already mad at me, here's another truth: Virginia Democrats are completely wrong on the Second Amendment," Moran said on X after invoking the ire of Virginia's top Senate Democrat for opposing her politically charged redistricting effort.

Moran said the Founding Fathers crafted the Second Amendment to protect the U.S. from tyranny.

The Falls Church native's comments irritated a handful of other Democratic figures within a few hours of his post, including Democratic strategist Adam Parkhomenko - the founder of "Ready For Hillary" when the former first lady was eyeing the White House in the mid-2010s.

"Go be a p---- in someone else's party. We're not doing that anymore," Parkhomenko said on X in response to Moran.

Moran had called his fellow Democrats' cartographical creativity "extremely anti-democratic and that it is a reactionary policy to Donald Trump that was created by DC consultants."

"In every local Democratic committee I've been in, when this issue comes up, nobody can defend it, it's just 'well this is what the party says is best' - NO. The Democratic Party loses because of reactionary maneuvers and because it doesn't have a big bold vision for the future," he said.

"I can't hold my tongue any longer despite what this will do to me with the Dems in Virginia."

He posited a plan to tax the data centers to create a free-college fund.

"This year is the 250th anniversary of our country; now is the time for a peaceful revolution against the billionaires, the tech oligarchs, the data centers and all the other big money interests," he said in a statement obtained by the Post.
