And he spoke of his "dismay" at the negative messages coming from the platform of the People's national Movement (PNM).Here's what Warner had to say on the matter:
"I have watched in dismay at his unwarranted attacks on that icon Makandal Daaga, whose only sin was that he fought for a better Trinidad and Tobago for our children and our children’s children.
"I have listened to Patrick Manning’s satanic verses attacking Suruj Rambachan and Ramesh Lawrence Maharaj based on a discredited Scott Drug Report of more than 20 years ago.
"I have listened, in horror, his minion ministers have followed their leader with the most vicious slurs and insults against opponents on public platforms...
"It is not a pretty sight to look at and listen to government Ministers Marlene MacDonald and Christine Kangaloo - prominent among others - spewing hatred and venom from the platform; with the Maximum Leader sitting beside them, beaming as a proud father.
"Such insults as unholy alliance, misfits and “Mamapools”, lunatics, diabolical monster, was the edification the lady ministers offered to the nation and the world on Wednesday night.
"Think of how repulsed conscious young people must be at what is coming out of the mouths of the frontline PNM speakers.
"So cocooned is Manning by his vanity, he does not realize how much the society has changed and how idealistic are a majority of our young people.
"Our young people are concerned about Manning's assault on the environment.
"Our young people are concerned about Manning’s his attempt to impose his taste in music on the society.
"Our young people are concerned about the language coming from their elders at PNM meetings.
"Our young people are concerned about a member of Manning’s government lecturing them about patriotism with a $2 Million Flag.
"They are concerned about the fact that while Patrick Manning splurges hundreds of millions of dollars on entertaining foreign delegates coming here for billion dollar conferences, he is yet to show appreciation to the national cricket team, or to the triumphant CARICOM champions with a function at the Prime Minister’s mansion.
"Our young people are concerned about the political slush fund operated by the Minister of Culture and Community Development from which tens of millions of dollars were surreptitiously given to handpicked insiders for studies at prestigious overseas institutions.
"We are all concerned ah having to exist on rationed water while the Prime Minister’s pool remains filled to the brim. No water crisis there.
"Manning is conducting a divisive campaign of intimidation, fear, and smear, directed at the primal instincts of persons locked into dependency on government stipends.
"To banish the old age pension to which senior citizens are entitled and to replace it with a government grant, is the most repugnant demonstration of the Patrick Manning Regime’s paternalistic methods of keeping large numbers of voters dependent on and captive of the regime.
"It is an act of extreme cruelty against our elderly in their golden years.
"We are all are all living in fear behind locked doors an closed windows while the Prime Minister is insulated from the terror of rampant crime and daily murders and robberies.
"The world is waiting for the Prime Minister to deal with a number of matters that are burning issues to the people of Trinidad and Tobago.
"Crime, corruption, and Patrick Manning’s failed leadership are the key issues in this election.
"The Prime Minister must come clean on the documented wholesale corruption in a number of special purpose state companies.
