Democrats Crash Out Over the Arrest of Communist Dictator Nicolas Maduro

Rapid Response

Democrats are so unhinged that they’re elevating Nicolas Maduro — a violent communist dictator indicted by the U.S. with leading a drug-trafficking operation targeting Americans.
 


 

Democrats are bending over backwards to defend a narcoterrorist — and they’re not even pretending otherwise:

  • Senate Democrat Leader Chuck Schumer refused to say it's a "good thing" Nicolas Maduro is in U.S. custody.
  • House Democrat Leader Hakeem Jeffries: "There’s been no evidence…to justify the actions that were taken."
  • House Democrat Whip Katherine Clark: "The American people deserve better."
  • California Rep. Ro Khanna: "We need to have a reckoning in this country about our values."
  • Connecticut Senator Chris Murphy: "It has nothing to do with American national security...Venezuela is not a security threat to the United States."
  • Connecticut Rep. Jim Himes pettily complained about not getting a phone call: "Still haven't gotten a phone call."
  • Vermont Rep. Becca Balint: "Look, I’m angry... this was not necessary."

It may be a new year, but Democrats' hatred for President Trump still overcomes their desire to put Americans first.
