Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla., came out in support of President Trump’s military operation in Venezuela that led to the capture of Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro.Many Democrats in Congress have come out against the strikes that led to Maduro’s capture.
“The capture of the brutal, illegitimate ruler of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, who oppressed Venezuela’s people is welcome news for my friends and neighbors who fled his violent, lawless, and disastrous rule. However, cutting off the head of a snake is fruitless if it just regrows,” Wasserman Schultz wrote on X.
“Venezuelans deserve the promise of democracy and the rule of law, not a state of endless violence and spiraling disorder. My hope is it offers a passage to true democracy and liberation. This action offers beleaguered Venezuelans a chance to seat their true, democratically elected president, Edmundo González,” she added.
Wasserman Schultz’s home state of Florida has a large population of Venezuelans.
