Sen. Murphy Blasts 'Warmonger Neocons' Cheerleading Us Into War
Sen. Chris Murphy made an appearance on this Sunday's State of the Union on CNN, and was asked about an op-ed he wrote back in 2019 calling for democratic elections in Venezuela by host Dana Bash, and Murphy proceeded to take apart her concern trolling both siderism along with any pretense that what the Trump administration just did with destabilizing the country by removing Maduro by force remotely resembled what he was writing about in that article.
Murphy also took a whack at his fellow member of the US Senate, Tom Cotton, who couldn't even explain who's running Venezuela right now while telling Bash over and over again how wonderful it was that they ousted him.
BASH: You know, there are -- there's no question that Maduro was a destabilizing force, not just in Venezuela and the region. And there are people celebrating in the streets all over South America and Venezuelan expats abroad.
So is it fair to say that there is some benefit in Maduro not being in power?
MURPHY: But what changes? I mean, you just heard Senator Cotton effectively not be able to explain who's running the country now.
Delcy Rodriguez is a very powerful figure in her own right, handpicked by Maduro. Russia and China still provide enormous support to that country. What changes? Why would Venezuela stop its export of drugs, its harassment of U.S. interests in the region?
