Senate Democrats are facing brutal criticism for their shameless flip-flop on Venezuela policy after President Trump's stunning capture of dictator Nicolás Maduro exposed their rank hypocrisy for all to see.
The same Democratic senators who spent years demanding "stronger action" against the socialist regime are now clutching their pearls and warning about the "dangerous consequences" of U.S. military involvement—all because it was Trump who actually had the backbone to get the job done.
"This is politics at its worst," one GOP source told reporters, highlighting how Democrats can't stand to see Trump succeed where previous administrations failed miserably.
The political theater reached new lows as news broke across social media platforms. The Washington Times reported that Trump fired back at critics, calling GOP senators who opposed the Venezuela operation "real losers" - showing the President won't tolerate weakness even from his own party when American interests are at stake.
"Trump calls GOP senators who criticized Venezuela operation 'real losers,'" The Washington Times posted, demonstrating that Trump's America First approach doesn't play favorites with establishment politicians.
Meanwhile, international outlets are reporting mounting pressure on Congress as Al Majalla English noted: "The U.S. Senate faces pressure from President Donald Trump before voting on a bill limiting presidential war powers against Venezuela following Nicolás Maduro's arrest."
What's particularly galling is how these same Democrats who criticized Trump's "isolationist" policies are now arguing he's being too aggressive. You can't make this stuff up, folks.
The stunning hypocrisy reveals everything Americans need to know about the Democrat party - they don't actually care about results or protecting democracy. They only care about opposing Trump, even when he delivers the kind of decisive leadership they claimed to want.
While Trump celebrates a major foreign policy victory that previous administrations could never achieve, Democrats are busy moving the goalposts and proving once again that they put party politics above American success.
How long will voters tolerate this blatant political opportunism from the left?
