Harris posted her thoughts to X late Saturday, which included the familiar left-wing trope that ‘Maduro is a bad guy … but here’s why he should have been allowed to roam free.’
“Donald Trump’s actions in Venezuela do not make America safer, stronger, or more affordable,” she said, though obviously having a narco-terrorist dictator from our hemisphere now in custody undoubtedly does make us safer – and not to mention showcasing the capabilities of our government and kick-butt military.
“That Maduro is a brutal, illegitimate dictator does not change the fact that this action was both unlawful and unwise,” the former vice president continued. “We’ve seen this movie before. Wars for regime change or oil that are sold as strength but turn into chaos, and American families pay the price.”
“The American people do not want this, and they are tired of being lied to.”
Harris went on to claim that Trump had somehow put U.S. troops at risk—even though the operation resulted in zero American casualties—and alleged there was no exit plan following Nicolás Maduro’s capture
That criticism is especially rich coming from her after she spent years defending the Biden-Harris administration’s catastrophic Afghanistan withdrawal. That fiasco—marked by the absence of a coherent plan—left 13 U.S. service members dead and dozens more wounded. Lectures about troop safety and exit strategies ring hollow from an official who helped preside over one of the worst foreign-policy failures in modern American history.
