Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn, suggested Wednesday the United States could be partly to blame for the ongoing turmoil in Venezuela, saying the policies of the Trump administration had "kind of helped lead the devastation."
Appearing on Democracy Now, a news program broadcast on PBS, among other outlets, Omar was asked to weigh in on what the host described as a "US-supported coup attempt" against Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro.
"A lot of the policies that we have put in place has kind of helped lead the devastation in Venezuela and we have sort of set the stage for where we are arriving today," Omar said. "This particular bullying and the use of sanctions to eventually intervene and make regime change really does not help the people of countries like Venezuela and it certainly does not help and is not in the interest of the United States."

Just let her keep talking.
She should stick to doing things she knows, like her brother.
Everything is the fault of America.
Some America did something. Or something.
Really a fine job of picking politicians there, Minnesota Democrats.
Of course, you have a long history.........
Now the Moslem extremist is an apologist for the Marxists of Venezuela. Her “true” colors are now emerging.
None dare call her a traitor, but I will!
It really believes the bile that it spews.
It’s dangerous and it doesn’t belong in our Congress.
It doesn’t belong in America.
How about we kind of kick her ass out of Congress?
Kind of; sort of . That sounds to me like someone pushing BS, and Ilhan Omar is full of it.
Uh, would those be Obama’s policies?
Taking guns away from the Venezuelan citizens in 2012 has led to the military being in control in 2019. The democrats want to do the same thing to us. If we allow this to happen, we need to give a big middle finger to the founding fathers and our whole revolutionary war.
Dumber than a bag of rocks.

I’ll bet her constituency thinks she’s doing great!
Did someone say something.

did somebody do something ?
I’m with you. I’m even more surprised that parts of Minneapolis don’t have burning tires in the street since that somalian cop was just convicted of murder. But, time will tell. Maybe they haven’t been told about it yet.
But, something tells me that somewhere, they have people in that neighborhood that is telling them to lay low, especially now, and not show their true colors, lest they all start getting sent back.
Mentally Ilhan kind of, sort of doesn’t know what she’s talking about. Venezuela’s problems come from taking a leftward turn away from US.
One thing that does intrigue me is, why would you want to hold citizenship in a country you hate so much?
Since when is our enemy concerned about "the interests of the United States".
#EnemyWithinTheGates.
Tell this pinko beyotch to look for Russian influence in Venezuela.
