At least one House Democrat broke ranks to praise President Donald Trump after U.S. forces captured Venezuelan strongman Nicolás Maduro in a surprise overnight operation.
Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla., hailed Maduro’s removal as overdue justice for Venezuelans who fled his regime, while warning that the mission must lead to lasting change.
“The capture of the brutal, illegitimate ruler of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, who oppressed Venezuela’s people is welcome news for my friends and neighbors who fled his violent, lawless, and disastrous rule. However, cutting off the head of a snake is fruitless if it just regrows,” Wasserman Schultz wrote on X.
