There’s good news in Washington despite the growing partisan fight over President Trump’s foolish declaration of a national emergency to build an $8 billion border wall: Democratic Party leaders are solidly backing Trump’s decision to oust Venezuela’s fraudulently elected dictator Nicolás Maduro.
As difficult as it is to support anything coming from Trump, one of the most untruthful and divisive U.S. leaders in history, the president has been right in taking the bold step of recognizing Venezuela’s National Assembly head Juan Guaidó as that country’s legitimate president. And Democratic leaders are doing the right thing in supporting Trump on this.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi — the most powerful figure in the Democratic Party — met with Guaidó’s ambassador to the United States, Carlos Vecchio, on Jan 13 and reiterated her support for the Guaidó government.
