Jan 26, 2019 -“A US backed coup in Venezuela is not a solution to the dire issues they face,” Omar tweeted on Jan. 24. "Trump's efforts to install a far right opposition will only incite violence and further destabilize the region.

For the record, Guaido is not “far right.” He is the leader of a legitimate party opposed to the corrupt, tyrannical Maduro regime and the elected president of Venezuela's legislature. To describe him and his political backing as “far right” is to reveal a deep and willful ignorance.

Feb 1, 2019 - Rep. Lee Zeldin's Twitter attack against Rep. Ilhan Omar...   Zeldin denied it had anything to do with Omar’s religion or gender. “Congressman Zeldin is referring to empowering/elevating pro-BDS, anti-Israel, pro-Maduro, etc., including asking for leniency for ISIS fighters,” spokeswoman Katie Vincentz wrote in an email, referring to the boycott, divestment and sanction movement and socialist Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. Zeldin tagged Omar in the tweet with the anti-Semitic voicemail because he wanted to know “if his pro BDS, anti Israel colleague disagreed with it,” Vincentz continued. She has urged against a “U.S. backed coup in Venezuela” but has not supported Maduro.

Bernie Sanders' soft spot for Latin America's leftist strongmen.
https://slate.com/news-and.../bernie-sanders-maduro-castro-latin-america-socialism.html

Sanders Has a Soft Spot for Latin American Strongmen ... And it could hurt him in the election. From left: Daniel Ortega, Bernie Sanders, Nicolás Maduro, and Fidel Castro.

 Tuesday, as part of the rollout of his second run for the Democratic presidential nomination, Bernie Sanders spoke with Univision’s Jorge Ramos. After asking Sanders about his domestic platform, Ramos used the last couple of minutes to inquire about Venezuela. “Do you consider Juan Guaidó the legitimate president of Venezuela?” he asked. It’s a relevant question, not only because Venezuela’s catastrophe seems to worsen every day and will likely become a complex diplomatic challenge in the months ahead for the United States and the rest of the Americas, but also because the U.S. president whom Sanders hopes to unseat would be more than happy to make next year’s election a referendum on socialism.

 his reply to Ramos’ question, Sanders declined to endorse Guaidó and then continued guardedly: “I think there are serious questions about the recent election,” he said, referring to last year’s tragic sham process in which Maduro stole a second term. “I think the United States has to work with the international community to make sure that there is a free and fair election in Venezuela.” Still, Ramos dug further. “Is Nicolás Maduro a dictator?” he asked. “Should he go?” Sanders declined to portray Maduro as an authoritarian leader (despite ample evidence to the contrary) and instead settled on describing the Venezuelan strongman’s actions as “very abusive.”

... This isn’t the first time Sanders has chosen to tiptoe around Latin America’s despotic leftist regimes. In the ’80s, Sanders traveled to Nicaragua. Upon his return, he repeatedly defended the Sandinistas and their leader, Daniel Ortega. ... Sanders’ enthusiasm for both Ortega and the Castro regime in Cuba came back to haunt him during the 2016 presidential campaign. Three years ago, during a primary debate against Hillary Clinton hosted by Univision and the Washington Post in Miami, Sanders was shown a video shot in 1985 while he was mayor of Burlington, Vermont, in which he spoke about Nicaragua and enthusiastically described how Fidel Castro had “totally transformed” Cuban society, providing education and health care. After Univision anchor María Elena Salinas followed up, Sanders acknowledged Cuba as an “authoritarian, undemocratic country” but then proceeded to praise the Castro regime, again, for its “advances in health care” (a dubious claim at best).
