Why are Democrats finally publicly condemning trump’s illegal invasion of venezuela?

Ben Meiselas 0:00
Democrats are finally hitting back hard at Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans. And these Democrats, I'm about to highlight, are not mincing words that Donald Trump engaged in an unlawful invasion of Venezuela. That Donald Trump has turned his back to the United States people who Donald Trump has defrauded, promising on making things more affordable on day one, but making things. Way less affordable, destroying the economy in the United States, and now engaged in this imperialistic adventurism to try to show off to Vladimir Putin like the bootlicker that he is. Let's go through what went down here. Democratic Congress member Eric Swalwell, who's running for governor of California, brutally mocked Donald Trump live on CNN.

And he said, Donald Trump doesn't. Don't even know how to run a casino. He bankrupts company after company. And now Donald Trump says that he wants to operate and occupy himself a country of 28 million people. Donald Trump couldn't run a freaking social media company. You think he's gonna be able to run Venezuela? And we see Donald Trump screwing up over and over again already. He's already thrown the opportunity. Opposition leader Maria Carina Machado under the bus. Take a look at what Democratic Congress member Eric Swalwell had to say. Here, play this clip.
Eric Swalwell 1:23
Agree with them. Well, I I do. And you know, I talk to Californians all over the state, and going into Venezuela and quote, running that country ranks at about two hundredth on their priorities. They're not focused on Venezuela. They're focused on the cost in Ventura and Vallejo, the rent in Los Angeles, and the grocery prices in Pasadena. And they have no faith that Donald Trump can run a country who couldn't run a casino and now he's going to run a A country in South America while we watch as he fails to run a country in North America, that doesn't add up. And neither does this whole concept that we're going to get the oil from Venezuela and that it'll pay for itself essentially. We heard that over 20 years ago from George Bush that we'd get the oil from Iraq, and that cost us three trillion dollars.

Next up I'll show you what Democratic Congress member my friend Roe Connor had to say right here, where he goes, We're not an empire. What the hell are you doing, Donald? Here, play this clip.
Ro Khanna 2:23
Venezuela. The other thing I think people misunderstand about the American people is there's a morality uh to our uh our our uh foreign policy and our values. And we don't like to just go take another country's oil. Like that's not who we are as a people. And this is going to offend a lot of Americans. Like that's not what America does. We're not an empire. We don't go marching into countries and just take their stuff. We're the country that fights for freedom. And I think people who are just looking at this uh from a legalistic perspective or saying he's not listening to Americans are missing the fundamental morality that most Americans have.

what did congressman eric swalwell say on cnn about trump’s ability to run a country?

Next up, Democratic Congress member Dan Goldman said the following. Let's play it.
Dan Goldman 3:06
But Donald Trump in his uh address today revealed what I think is the reason, and it is oil. And it is that Donald Trump promised oil executives that if they gave him a billion dollars for his campaign, that he would do right by them. And they gave about 500 million. And this is a massive gift that is in violation of international law and is essentially just co-op. An entire country's natural resources for the benefit of U.S. companies when we have so many things that we need to deal with here at home. None of this affects grocery prices or health care or wages or prices of rent. None of this has anything to do with helping those issues which are central to the American people. We are now venturing. entering Donald Trump is taking us into another uh amorphous uh r shapeless and and unknown chart uncharted territory now with uh taking over another country.
Ben Meiselas 4:11
