White House Slams Venezuela for Trying to Exclude Leading Opposition Candidate from 2024 Election Ballot
Breitbart ^ | 03/26/2024 | JOEL B. POLLAK

The Biden White House criticized Venezuela’s President Nicolas Maduro on Tuesday for barring the leading opposition candidate from his country’s upcoming elections — after Democrats tried to do the same to Donald Trump.

Maria Corina Machado, 56, won the opposition primary in Venezuela last year and has been favored in the polls to beat Maduro in the July elections, possibly putting an end to the authoritarian rule of Hugo Chávez’s successor.

But the Maduro regime blocked the Democratic Unitary Platform (PUD) opposition coalition from registering its candidate by midnight early Tuesday. Machado’s chosen successor, Dr. Corina Yoris, was also blocked.

This whole crowing about “democracy” while trying to imprison the leading opposition candidate was bound to fail.

Just because it’s someone in Washington wagging their finger doesn’t mean others need to pay attention.

Apparently the DNC/commies believe that they have the exclusive patent on trying to get rid of opposition candidates

I thought this was a Bee article when I first saw the headline. But we would never do such a thing, as to try to stop a political opponent from running. 🙄

To be a leftist is to have no values, no conscience and one who wears hypocrisy as a badge of honor!

What happened to mind your own business about someone else’s election?

The US cannot even conduct one honest election. Nobody to advise others.

Hilarious they have sibling rivalry with other lowly banana republics.

Remember the Arab Spring election with the blue paint on a finger to show “I voted”? While in Georgia, Chicago and Michigan people voted 5 or 6 times even after being in a cemetery underground.
