FLASHBACK: Protesters Asked If They'd Trade Trump for Maduro, & They Said 'Yes' (Watch)

Linkedin Share

Socialism has failed so badly in Venezuela that people are forced to fend for meals from garbage trucks.

They also look for drinking water from sewers.

When the government runs amok and guns are stripped from the citizenry, these are the kinds of results people can expect.

When asked if they would trade President Trump for dictator Nicolas Maduro, some people actually said, “yes.”

Think about that for a second. How uninformed can a person be?

From Daily Caller:

Hundreds of protesters descended on D.C. at Lafayette Square near the White House on Saturday to show their support for Venezuela’s embattled socialist dictator Nicolas Maduro.

The “Hands Off Venezuela” protesters are not only against any sort of intervention in Venezuela, but many actually believe Maduro is a good leader.

WATCH:

Freshman Democrat Ilhan Omar seems to be upsetting more and more people by the day.

Of course, the main reason deals with her anti-Semitism which is absolutely blatant at this point. More on that below.

First, check out the fiery exchange Omar had with Elliot Abrams, the Trump administration’s special envoy to Venezuela, who was fed up with the Congresswoman’s “ridiculous” questions…

The Trump administration’s new special envoy for Venezuela, Elliott Abrams, clashed Wednesday with freshman Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., during a House hearing on the Caracas crisis after the congresswoman tried to turn focus to Abrams’ history in Latin America while asking him point-blank whether he’d support “genocide” if it served American interests.

Abrams fired back, calling the line of questioning “ridiculous” and refusing to respond to the personal “attack.”

The questioning was the latest moment in the spotlight for Omar, who earlier this week apologized for tweets considered anti-Semitic — and who previously criticized what she described as a “US backed coup” in Venezuela, though many countries beyond the U.S. have recognized Juan Guaido, the opposition head of the National Assembly, as the interim president over Nicolás Maduro.

WATCH:

Omar showed no shame after responding to a series of tweets from journalist Glenn Greenwald.

LOOK:

Enter Omar with the anti-Semitic stereotype:

If not blatantly obvious to the untrained eye, here’s the problem with her tweet:

“It’s all about the Benjamins baby,” Rep. Omar said, a reference to Jewish people and money. A typical antisemitic stereotype.

She then retweeted a “hook-nosed” tweet:
