American Thinker: For years, Democrats have fallen over themselves to defend Latin American communist dictatorships. Who can forget Rep. Maxine Waters’s apology to the Castro regime for the U.S. on her pilgrimage to Cuba or Rep. Jim McGovern’s secret collaborations with Colombia’s Marxist FARC terrorists or New York mayor Bill de Blasio’s “help” to the Nicaraguan Sandinistas or Sen. Bernie Sanders’s open praise for Hugo Chávez’s Venezuela? And don’t forget Joe Kennedy’s Dial Joe-4-Oil, which was a gusher of propaganda praise for Venezuela’s oppressive socialist regime.
They’ve always gotten away with it. Until now.
They suddenly are realizing that the Maduro-lovers and Trump-resisters in their ranks, who happen to be some of their biggest “it” girls with the loudest voices — Rep. Ilhan Omar, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rep. Tulsi Gabbard — have supported Venezuela’s detested Maduro regime in recent weeks … and it’s not just them. Other Democrats are also in their tree – think of old dinosaurs such as Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, who was all worried about the U.S. invading Venezuela, and Silent Ted Deutch representing south Florida in Congress. Supporting a socialist regime just seems to come natural in the Democratic Party. And for that, they’re all kissing the purple swing state of Florida goodbye for the Democrats in 2020. MORE HERE
We need to start calling it what it is. They start out calling it socialism because it sounds hip and nicer. But in reality – socialism is nothing but communism. And it kills any economy and society that allows it to flourish. In Venezuela, unless you are in the political class that brought about this catastrophe, you can no longer feed yourself or your children and they are starving to death before your eyes.
Who was it who said that if the Democrats said what they really believe, they’d never win another election?
If it weren’t for the Democrats, AOL and Pelosi in particular, Trump would be facing a real challenge in getting reelected in 2020.
The observable party of the left is chaos, socialism [Communism], and poverty with starvation. Karl Marx would be very pleased with where they are.
Hey! It’s a box of democrap presidential candidates! 😆
A person with any intergrity could never support a monster like Castro, Stalin or Maduro. Which explains obama’s integrity.
