Marjorie Taylor Greene Rips Trump Striking Venezuela
"I'm 100% for strong safe secure borders and stopping narco terrorists and cartels from trafficking deadly drugs and human trafficking into America. Fentanyl is responsible for over 70% of U.S. drug overdose deaths and fentanyl comes from Mexican cartels made with chemical precursors from China and trafficked across the U.S. Mexico border. Mexican cartels are primarily and overwhelmingly responsible for killing Americans with deadly drugs."
"If U.S. military action and regime change in Venezuela was really about saving American lives from deadly drugs then why hasn't the Trump admin taken action against Mexican cartels? And if prosecuting narco terrorists is a high priority then why did President Trump pardon the former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez who was convicted and sentenced for 45 years for trafficking hundreds of tons of cocaine into America? Ironically cocaine is the same drug that Venezuela primarily traffics into the U.S."
"The next obvious observation is that by removing Maduro this is a clear move for control over Venezuelan oil supplies that will ensure stability for the next obvious regime change war in Iran. And of course why is it ok for America to militarily invade, bomb, and arrest a foreign leader but Russia is evil for invading Ukraine and China is bad for aggression against Taiwan? Is it only ok if we do it? (I'm not endorsing Russia or China)"
Marjorie Taylor Greene criticized the administration's strike on Venezuela, arguing the action contradicts stated goals to combat narco-terrorism. She emphasized support for strong borders and stopping cartels that traffic fentanyl and people. She noted fentanyl causes over 70% of U.S. drug overdose deaths and attributes its production to Mexican cartels using precursors from China. She questioned why military action targeted Venezuela instead of Mexican cartels and why President Trump pardoned Juan Orlando Hernandez, convicted for massive cocaine trafficking. She asserted removing Maduro serves oil-control and broader regime-change objectives and criticized perceived double standards in U.S. use of force.
