"We can safely discount democracy as a reason for affecting regime change in Venezuela. We're not going to go kill Nicolas Maduro because we don't like the way he's treating his people. It's possible we're mad that he doesn't allow gay marriage. That is a distinct possibility, but no one will say that out loud, Carlson said in the clip, adding: Not defending the regime, just saying."
"One of the most conservative countries in North or South or Central America. Only El Salvador really comes close, which is much smaller, of course. And by the way, the U.S.-backed opposition leader who would take Maduro's place if he were taken out is, of course, pretty eager to get gay marriage in Venezuela. So to those of you who thought this whole project was globo-homo? Not crazy, actually."
Tucker Carlson and Col. Douglas Macgregor discussed potential U.S. regime change in Venezuela during an October podcast. Carlson claimed that a motive for removing Nicolas Maduro could be to legalize gay marriage in Venezuela. Carlson praised Maduro for making Venezuela socially conservative, comparing it to El Salvador. Macgregor questioned installing opposition leader Maria Corina Machado, calling it nonsensical. Nathan Livingstone posted a clip of the conversation online, which went viral. Macgregor previously faced criticism for commentary during the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The resurfaced clip generated bipartisan mockery.
