Some comeuppance for Univision's Jorge Ramos? Detained in Venezuela by Maduro

Univision's star anchorman, Jorge Ramos, got a taste of what a real dictator is over in Caracas, when, after showing Venezuela's Nicolás Maduro a cell phone video of starving Venezuelans eating out of a garbage truck, found himself and his television crew shoved in a dark room for two and a half hours in detention, only to be released with their expensive television equipment and interview material stolen.

Here's the Washington Post report of what went down:

Journalist Jorge Ramos and his Univision team were detained at Nicolás Maduro's presidential palace in the Venezuelan capital Monday, reportedly because Maduro didn't like the questions the reporters were asking him during an interview.

The group was freed shortly after, said Daniel Coronell, Univision's president for news in the United States.  Coronell said Venezuelan government officials confiscated the journalists' equipment.

Ramos, in a phone interview with Univision after he was released, said the interview with Maduro lasted about 17 minutes.

"He didn't like the things we were asking him about the lack of democracy in Venezuela, about torture, political prisoners, the humanitarian crisis that they were living," he said.

But the breaking point came, Ramos said, after he showed Maduro a video of people eating from a garbage truck.

Here's Marco Rubio's tweet of the actual video:

This is the video that upset the dictator @NicolasMaduro.@jorgeramosnews recorded it on his cell phone in the streets of Caracas. When he played it for Maduro during the interview the dictator got angry & detained him & his crew in a dark room for over 2 hours. https://t.co/SwM6AKCeX2— Marco Rubio (@marcorubio) February 26, 2019

Democrat Socialist Jorge Ramos and his fellow democrat socialists were detained at Nicolás Maduro’s presidential palace in the Venezuelan capital Monday, reportedly because Maduro didn’t like the questions the democrat socialists were asking him during an interview.

Good. Unfortunately, it won’t change Ramos’ opinion of maduro or Trump.

Ramos was on Hannity today and he began by profusely thanking Hannity for some helpful calls he made, if I understood it correctly. will try to find the video, because he is usually hostile when he’s on the show. very different today.
