"Things actually appear to have gotten worse not better [in Venezuela], and that has to be the focus, she told anchor Boris Sanchez. We need a transition to democracy. We need to make sure that there is prosperity and liberty that is restored to Venezuela. And that just doesn't appear to be on Donald Trump's priority list. She said Venezuelans who are promoting Maduro's ouster are now having the police search their cars and cell phones."
"The capture of the brutal, illegitimate ruler of Venezuela is welcome news for my friends and neighbors who fled his violent, lawless, and disastrous rule, she wrote. However, cutting off the head of a snake is fruitless if it just regrows. She continued, Venezuelans deserve the promise of democracy and the rule of law, not a state of endless violence and spiraling disorder. My hope is it offers a passage to true democracy and liberation."
Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz initially celebrated the capture of Nicolas Maduro but quickly shifted from elation to cautious optimism and growing concern about U.S. policy toward Venezuela. She criticized President Donald Trump for appearing to allow Maduro's cronies to lead the country and for not prioritizing democracy. Wasserman Schultz emphasized the need for a transition to democracy, restoration of prosperity and liberty, and protection of Venezuelans facing police searches of their cars and phones authorized by interim leader Delcy Rodriguez. She warned that replacing one autocratic leader without restoring rule of law risks renewed violence and disorder.
