Rep. Omar believes US 'bullying' has contributed to Venezuela chaos
Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn, suggested Wednesday that the United States could be partly to blame for the ongoing turmoil in Venezuela, saying the policies of the Trump administration had "kind of helped lead the devastation." Appearing on "Democracy Now," a news program broadcast on PBS, Omar was asked to weigh in on what the host described as a "U.S.-supported coup attempt" against Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. "A lot of the policies that we have put in place [have] kind of helped lead the devastation in Venezuela and we have sort of set the stage for where we are arriving today," she said. "This particular bullying and the use of sanctions to eventually intervene and make regime change really does not help the people of countries like Venezuela and it certainly does not help and is not in the interest of the United States."
