With a Straight Face, Mike Johnson Says U.S. Ouster of Maduro ‘Is Not a Regime Change’
"Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) claimed that the U.S. overthrow of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro “is not a regime change.”
On Saturday, U.S. forces invaded Venezuela and captured Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores. Two days later, they appeared before a federal judge in New York, where they pleaded not guilty to drug trafficking charges.
Venezuelan Vice President Delcy Rodriguez has been sworn in as interim president and has demanded Maduro’s return. Meanwhile, the Trump administration has claimed it is in charge of Venezuela."
