Joe Biden’s Old Tweet Claiming Trump “Admires Thugs and Dictators Like Nicolas Maduro” Comes Back to Haunt Him
This didn’t age well.
An old tweet from Joe Biden claiming Trump “admires thugs and dictators like Nicolas Maduro” surfaced on Saturday after President Trump captured the Venezuelan leader following precision military strikes on the South American country.
During the 2020 election cycle, Joe Biden said if he were elected President, he would “stand with the Venezuelan people for democracy” as he criticized Trump for reportedly being open to meeting with Maduro.
“Trump talks tough on Venezuela, but admires thugs and dictators like Nicolas Maduro,” Joe Biden said in response to June 2020 report claiming Trump is “open to meeting with” Maduro.
“As President, I will stand with the Venezuelan people and for democracy,” Biden said.

We know how that turned out.
Of course, Joe Biden did nothing to stand with the Venezuelan people.
President Trump ordered military strikes on Venezuela and captured Nicolas Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores very early Saturday morning.
Maduro and his wife were indicted on four counts, including a narco-terrorism conspiracy charge.
Trump later posted a humiliating photo of a blindfolded Maduro aboard USS Iwo Jima.
President Trump also posted video of the military operation in Venezuela.
WATCH:
During remarks on the military operation on Saturday, President Trump told reporters that the US will “run Venezuela” until they have a peaceful transfer of power.
