UN finds a torture den in Venezuela’s detention centers. Where are Ocasio-Cortez’s fake tears at the fence?

American Thinker:

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is one of the few Democrats who’s openly stood up for and defended the socialist Venezuelan regime even as millions of Venezuelans seek to dislodge it from power.

She’s also gone against the grain by stating she’s against horrific prison conditions, even when they involve people she despises such as Paul Manafort, who had been threatened with a stretch on Rikers Island by prosecutors seeking to pressure him to hand over information to arrest President Trump.  She’s rather rightly called that a matter of principle.

Now a report from the United Nations high commissioner of human rights is out, on Venezuela, and it’s profoundly ugly.  According to Bloomberg:

The United Nations called on the Venezuelan government to take “immediate, concrete measures to halt and remedy the grave violations” of economic, social and civil rights, in a report following High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet’s visit to Venezuela last month.

Nicolas Maduro’s regime has used social programs in a discriminatory manner based on political grounds as a tool for social control, the report said. At the same time, the ruling authorities persecute groups and individuals it perceives as threats, including members of the opposition. Security forces often resort to torture or inhuman treatment, including electric shocks, suffocation, beatings and sexual violence to extract confessions.

  2. The zealots on the left never trouble themselves with any inconvenient facts that might raise doubts about their convictions.
    Despite the weight of evidence pointing against their positions they soldier on undeterred. That’s exactly why they’re so easily manipulated by their political leaders and why they’re so confounding to deal with.
    You will never win the day by trying to reason with them, the best hope is to eliminate them from any position of authority.

  3. She’s impressed. She wants a few of them here for us, because public abuse and violence aren’t diminishing our support for the president or our patriotism.
