Sean Penn on the Death of Hugo Chavez: "I Lost a Friend"

Despite his criticisms of the United States, Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez did have supporters in Hollywood, including Sean Penn, who mourned Chavez's death Tuesday.

Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez dead at 58

"Today the people of the United States lost a friend it never knew it had," Penn said in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter. "And poor people around the world lost a champion. I lost a friend I was blessed to have. My thoughts are with the family of President Chavez and the people of Venezuela."

Chavez, 58, died Tuesday after a battle with an undisclosed type of pelvic cancer, ABC News reports. Although he was a polarizing leader who befriended some of the world's dictators, he remained popular in his country as a champion of the poor. Always outspoken, Chavez criticized oil companies and the Catholic Church. He also often criticized the United States' treatment of Latin America and at different times called President George W. Bush a "liar," a "murderer" and, during a 2006 speech before the UN General Assembly, "the devil."

A longtime supporter of the late president, Penn first met Chavez in Venezuela in 2007. Penn joined Chavez at an election rally in August 2012 and attended a candlelight vigil for Chavez in Bolivia in December. "He's one of the most important forces we've had on this planet, and I'll wish him nothing but that great strength he has shown over and over again," Penn said at the vigil. "I do it in love, and I do it in gratitude."

Hell ain’t half filled, so there is hope for Penn to join his commie buddy Hugo.

In fact, why don’t we just give Penn a new award for “Stupid of the Year”, the “Hugo”?

It's breathtaking to see such naivete and ignorance freely admitted.

“the Hugo”

I like that. Penn has my vote. However, given the direction
this world is headed and the shear number of worthy of
candidates future selections should prove to be quite
contentious.

Chavez had supporters among the godless communists inhabiting Hollywood? I'm shocked. No...really.

Of course the stupid and worthless would support communism.

Everyone gets the same few resources regardless of whether they can earn it.
