As you can probably expect, there’s a wide range of opinions from US lawmakers about the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro.
Republican House member Don Bacon said he was concerned “Russia will use this to justify their illegal and barbaric military actions against Ukraine.”
Democrat Representative Eric Swalwell said, “When I talk to Californians you know what ranks lowest on their priorities? Illegally going to war with Venezuela. Just lower the damn prices.”
Speaker Mike Johnson said it was a “decisive and justified operation that will protect American lives.”
Bernie Sanders said, “60% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck, he should focus on the crises at home.”
And MTG joked, “We are ‘running’ Venezuela now. America First!!!”
However, AOC’s reaction seems to be one of the most viral of all.
