DEMOCRATS FRET OVER VENEZUELA: Venezuela is in political chaos after opposition leader Juan Guaido temporarily assumed presidential powers in a bid to unseat dictator Nicolas Maduro, whose powerful loyalists went on the offensive Thursday in support of the embattled leader ... President Trump on Wednesday announced the United States officially recognizes Guaidó as the country's interim president, escalating tension with Maduro. Guaido has disappeared from view since being sworn in before tens of thousands of cheering supporters to uphold the constitution and rid Venezuela of Maduro's dictatorship, and his whereabouts remained shrouded in mystery.
U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders, a Vermont independent and self-described Democratic socialist, acknowledged Thursday that the "economy is a disaster" in Venezuela -- but he cautioned against U.S. involvement in that county's affairs and condemned what he called "inappropriate" past interventions. Meanwhile, far-left Minnesota Democratic freshman Rep. Ilhan Omar tweeted Thursday, without evidence, that President Trump has personally engaged in "efforts to install a far right opposition [that] will only incite violence and further destabilize the region" and that "a US backed coup in Venezuela is not a solution to the dire issues they face."
