An irate Venezuelan politician rushed a television journalist conducting his show on Tuesday (November 20), attacking him for what she claims to be slander.
A supporter of President Hugo Chavez' socialist party, representative Iris Varela stormed onto the set of Gustavo Azocar's television show, slapping him, breaking his glasses, hitting him with a microphone and overturning furniture.
Azocar, who also published a book denouncing several members of the Chavez administration for corruption, said he had invited Varela to defend herself on his show.
"When we presented the book in Caracas -- and there are videos -- I said that if Iris Valera wanted to exercise her right to defend herself that she do it. I think it's a right we all have to defend ourselves," the journalist said after the attack.
Varela, who was at the television studio to appear on another program, later said she was fed up with accusations of corruption made on the show that she says are untrue.
I was so torn by this video. On the one hand, the host showed a real class - he could have just leveled that chick with a good overhand right, but he held back and refused a physical confrontation. On the other hand, women are equal, right? They should get hit equally as hard.
Well, there ya go. the a typical female leftist supporter.
Armed with a great big ole mouth constantly flapping, hands constantly slapping. What a rude mean tramp.
This guy should have decked her.
The woman is a real (trailer)trash. She should feel right at home with likes of Clintons.
She looks like one of those mindless stupid ones without any control.
typical leftist..start swinging when their mind runs outa runway...
“On the one hand, the host showed a real class - he could have just leveled that chick with a good overhand right, but he held back and refused a physical confrontation. On the other hand, women are equal, right? They should get hit equally as hard.”
Women are equal. The reaction would have been much different if the man had stormed the set and beat up a woman.
But under Chavez he’ll probably end up in a reeducation camp.
Much like the loonies we have here on the left. The Soviet Union and their Marxist commie ilk did not die in 89, they just migrated to the West. They are pathetic and YES this b*tch should have been cold-cocked right back!
Agree. I just watched the whole thing. He should have decked the bitch.
She was lucky he is a controlled guy. She was sure asking for it. She just kept smacking at his face over and over. Geez.
Its the Jerry Springero programma.
That b***h is giving us a taste of what Chavez will do to anyone who disagrees with him after the “reform” is approved in the “referendum” on December 2nd.
She must be a real Jerry Springer fan.
She kept pulling her shirt down. Must have been shy about letting anyone see her big red thong with Cheeseface’s picture on it.
This is much more significant than an out of control woman making havoc on this TV show. It’s about the growing power and intimidation by Chavez’s Stalinist state that can steal and overpower with impunity. Many Venezuelans are taking what they have and fleeing the country because he is freezing bank accounts, nationalizing private property, intimidating opponents, and he’s already suspended the constitution. This will get worse before it gets better. We know he has designs on taking over that hemisphere and taking us on. This will not end well for the big fat monkey and many Venezuelans who are caught in his trap.
Gustavo Azocar showed great restraint, good for him, the woman is running high on emotional hormones and stupidity.
“We know he has designs on taking over that hemisphere and taking us on. This will not end well for the big fat monkey and many Venezuelans who are caught in his trap.”
If it weren’t for the human cost it would be kinda cool. We’re seeing history repeat itself in a text book manner. I’ve always wondered how people let animals like Hitler, Stalin, and Pol Pot take power. We are seeing it happen .
Imagine being married to a creature like that. It must be horrible. Just ask Bill Clinton.
