Shortened title.
Full title: As Venezuelans starve, and Chavista elites buy yachts with their food aid, Omar and Ocasio-Cortez say the problem is U.S. sanctions
The crazy left in Congress, such as Rep. Ilhan Omar and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, have been quick to blame U.S. sanctions for Venezuela's starvation and misery. After all, what better way to Blame America First?
Well, now we got some news about just who's about to get sanctioned and why from today's Wall Street Journal:
The U.S. is preparing measures ranging from criminal charges to sanctions against people it believes to be involved in Venezuela’s military-run emergency food program, according to U.S. officials, part of an effort to target what they describe as a large-scale money-laundering operation run by the government.
Here are the revolting details:
Through the alleged money-laundering networks, some of these people amassed large sums in overseas accounts, as well as U.S. real estate, yachts and airplanes, according to a senior U.S. Treasury official. Venezuela’s economy has collapsed in recent years, causing widespread malnutrition and hyperinflation.

Aid money being redirected? And the Clinton Foundation isn’t involved? They are slipping.

Naturally it not their mismanagement and theft of the resources is the problem it’s always somehow the fault of the US.
A few years ago, she was wiping her ass with a stick, and now she’s an expert on global politics
See tag.
Without American food aid the elites would have smaller yachts and smaller estates and smaller foreign bank accounts. Withdrawal of aid is grossly unfair to the kleptocrats in Venezuela.
Well hell then you skank..why dont you and your queer friends donate 20% of what you pilfer from your lemming followers to help them? Lying sack of..
Time to reverse suffrage and take the vote away from women.
Sorry to the ladys on here, but its got so bad that many..not all, but the majority of women, havent a clue or foresight on matters to act on them...domestic or foreign.
Trump should send Omar and Ocasio-Cortez to Venezuela to find out what’s going on then pull their passports
