Kamala Harris blasts Trump admin’s capture of Nicolas Maduro as ‘unlawful and unwise’
NY Post ^ | 01/04/2026 | Sophia Compton, Fox News

Former Vice President Kamala Harris on Saturday evening condemned the Trump administration’s capture of Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro and his wife, calling the operation both “unlawful” and “unwise.”

In a lengthy post on X, Harris acknowledged that Maduro is a “brutal” and “illegitimate” dictator but said that President Donald Trump’s actions in Venezuela “do not make America safer, stronger, or more affordable.”

“Donald Trump’s actions in Venezuela do not make America safer, stronger, or more affordable,” Harris wrote. “That Maduro is a brutal, illegitimate dictator does not change the fact that this action was both unlawful and unwise. We’ve seen this movie before.

“Wars for regime change or oil that are sold as strength but turn into chaos, and American families pay the price.”

Harris made the remarks hours after the Trump administration confirmed that Maduro and his wife were captured and transported out of Venezuela as part of “Operation Absolute Resolve.”

The former vice president also accused the administration of being motivated by oil interests rather than efforts to combat drug trafficking or promote democracy.

“The American people do not want this, and they are tired of being lied to. This is not about drugs or democracy. It is about oil and Donald Trump’s desire to play the regional strongman,” Harris said. “If he cared about either, he wouldn’t pardon a convicted drug trafficker or sideline Venezuela’s legitimate opposition while pursuing deals with Maduro’s cronies.”

Harris, who has been rumored as a potential Democratic contender in the 2028 presidential race, additionally accused the president of endangering U.S. troops and destabilizing the region.

Unlawful? We’re in a war in which laws don’t apply.

Venezuela real power holders did not disappear with the capture of Nicolás Maduro. Speaking with Steve Bannon, Oscar Ramirez explained that while Maduro’s removal is historic, the regime itself remains intact through two men who still control the military, justice system, and cartel networks inside the country.

Remember Pres Trump saying something about a second wave? .I trust what Oscar is saying.

The job is not finished.

This is why Chucky and shifty and co. are going to try and block Trump from unraveling the global election fraud .

Saying that Kamala can tell the difference between wise and unwise assumes facts not in evidence.

Maduro might be ready to roll over on the whole dominion thing if he thinks it will get him a deal.

Kamala: “The raid on Maduro was unlawful and unwise, because it was not wise and it was not lawful.”

Kamala is without any doubt what so ever, on the take. She receives cartel money in her off shore treasury

“Maduro might be ready to roll over on the whole dominion thing if he thinks it will get him a deal.”

The Southern district of NY will not let any of that see the light of day.

there are about 3/4 of million VZ refugees in the US, with about half of them in Florida. Should they return to VZ, with American ideals and values, that will make America safer. All told, there are about 8 million refugees, largely in western nations, and those values carried home will also make America safer. Freeing up half a million residences will also make America, specifically Florida, a little more affordable. It’s a win-win.
