'Vomitivo': Brazil's Lula hails and welcomes Venezuela's Maduro, calling him just a victim of bad press

It's good times for Venezuela's vile communist dictator, Nicolas Maduro.

Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva met his Venezuelan counterpart Nicolas Maduro on Monday and called out US sanctions against Venezuela as "extremely exaggerated."

Maduro, who is seen as a controversial leader internationally, met Lula on his visit to Brazil. Maduro was greeted by Lula with a hug and back-slap in the presidential palace of Brasilia. 

Effectively now, Venezuela has been welcomed back into the community of civilized democratic nations, or at least, the community of BRICs and non-aligned nations, no longer a pariah state.

Joe Biden sent out some of the first signals that the coast was clear for it when he dumped Venezuela's democrats and sought out the detested regime to pump oil for him.

Now Lula, who leads Brazil, one of the pillars of the BRICS nations, has gone to town with it, calling it "the start of Maduro's return," or, more likely, given translation issues, Maduro's comeback.

"Venezuela has always been an exceptional partner for Brazil. But because of the political situation and the mistakes that were made, President Maduro spent eight years without coming to Brazil," Lula said at a press conference.

How the hugs have flowed.

What Lula meant by 'mistakes' involved his predecessor, Jair Bolsonaro, who kept the brutal dictator the hell out of Brazil.

He's fixed that. 

As for Maduro's actual record, which is that of literally running a death squad regime characterized by its extrajudicial killings (that's from the U.N.), as well as driving tens of millions of people out of it based on hunger, poverty, drug dealing, and gangster rule, all built on a foundation of fraudulent elections, well, actually, that was just bad press:

And Turkey was a big surprise too, Erdogen got lucky to find all those votes after the election was over.

Let’s just talk about two items.

1. The jailing of political opponents and supreme court justices.

2. 120% inflation.

Not to mention the Venezuela media and religious institutions.

Great job, right Lula.
