Outrage From Dems Who Once Demanded Trump Target Maduro Is Completely Fake:

Many of the Democrats condemning President Donald Trump’s decision to arrest Nicolas Maduro over the weekend once complained that the president wasn’t tough enough on the Venezuelan dictator.

On Saturday, Trump announced that U.S forces had captured Maduro and his wife on charges of narco-terrorism, drug trafficking, and conspiracy to import cocaine. The furious reaction from Democrats was immediate (and so was the hypocrisy).

Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., was among the loudest critics, with Murphy posting on X: “The invasion of Venezuela has nothing to do with American security. Venezuela is not a security threat to the U.S.. This is about making Trump’s oil industry and Wall Street friends rich. Trump’s foreign policy – the Middle East, Russia, Venezuela – is fundamentally corrupt.”

“Every dictatorship is not a ‘legitimate government.’ That does not give you or any president the constitutional power to invade the country without the consent of Congress and the people,” Murphy posted in a separate X post.

Of course Murphy’s anger was nonexistent just seven years ago, when in 2019 he criticized Trump for apparently not doing enough.

“If Trump cared about consistency, he would make the realist case for intervention in Venezuela (getting rid of Maduro is good for the United States) rather than trying to pretend his Administration all of the sudden cares about toppling anti-Democratic regimes.” --->READ MORE HERE

Schumer Rips Trump for Ending Maduro Regime After Previously Ripping Him For NOT Ending It:

Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) on Sunday blasted President Donald Trump following the capture Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro, saying Trump’s “lawlessness” was pushing America into an endless war “with no discussion.”

But back in 2020, Schumer criticized Trump for not getting rid of Maduro. The New York Democrat said at the time Trump “brags” about everything but fails to deliver.

“Maybe the best metaphor was his claim to bring Democracy to Venezuela,” Schumer said during a Senate speech. “There was a big policy there. It flopped.”

“And the president brags about his Venezuela policy? Give us a break,” he continued. “He hasn’t brought an end to the Maduro regime. The Maduro regime is more powerful today and more entrenched today than when the president began [his first term].”

But his tune seemingly changed this weekend after the Trump administration arrested Maduro and flew him to Schumer’s state to face narco-terrorism charges.

On Sunday morning, Schumer told George Stephanopoulos on ABC’s This Week he had a number of problems with Trump’s Venezuela operation. --->READ MORE HERE
