The Biden White House criticized Venezuela’s President Nicolas Maduro on Tuesday for barring the leading opposition candidate from his country’s upcoming elections — after Democrats tried to do the same to Donald Trump.

Maria Corina Machado, 56, won the opposition primary in Venezuela last year and has been favored in the polls to beat Maduro in the July elections, possibly putting an end to the authoritarian rule of Hugo Chávez’s successor.

But the Maduro regime blocked the Democratic Unitary Platform (PUD) opposition coalition from registering its candidate by midnight early Tuesday. Machado’s chosen successor, Dr. Corina Yoris, was also blocked.

It’s probably best to question every single sentence of this report. Particularly the “expected to win” stuff.

The people chose Chavez and then they chose Maduro. They were largely bribed to do so.

So what?

[Redmen4ever]

Maduro just trying to defend his democracy. Like Nicaragua, Russia and the U.S. Democrats.

Don’t do as I do, do as I say.

"The outright, blatant, Hypocrisy of these people."

And then they have the audacity to act as if no one notices.

[Thank You Rush]

Is there anyone running that administration? The ones pulling the strings from the WH don’t have a clue what country they are working for. First they lecture Bibi and now it’s Venezuela? They need a mass firing. Put someone in charge who knows what’s going on and that sure wouldn’t be the president or any of the leftover obozo or Clinton faces...

hmmm.....lack of self-awareness it seems........

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Ditto! It HAD to be the Bee.

[metmom]

Democrats, the personification of nhypocrisy.

Sounds like the Campaign Staff didn’t get in touch with the Neocon Wing of the White House. Otherwise the Neocons would understand that Venezuela is a supplier of BIG OIL and thus is needed to try to hold down gasoline prices before November.

“The people chose Chavez and then they chose Maduro. They were largely bribed to do so.”

Can you say student loan forgiveness?

[citizen]

Well, if this isn’t the pot calling the kettle black!

[mrmeyer]

You can’t make this shit up.

[Reverend Wright]

They are just mocking us now.

[USA-FRANCE]

Indeed, the White House is so hypocritical here that it’s more like a willful blatant provocation.

Irony thick as Biden’s skull.

Dear Lord, look in the mirror, you insurrectionists.
