"It looks weak": Some Democrats want their party to shut up and clap for Maduro's capture
"Nuance is dead in politics."
"Maduro is bad, glad he is gone ... You can't have it both ways,"
"As Democrats we can't just condemn what happened ... I wish the Democratic Party would be a little bit more measured on this."
"What happened to when they had the election and Maduro stole the election? There were Democrats condemning that,"
Party leaders criticized the Trump administration for bypassing Congress and failing to inform lawmakers about an operation to capture Maduro that struck several military targets in Venezuela's capital. Many rank-and-file Democrats, backed by polling opposing prolonged intervention, objected to Trump's comment that the U.S. would temporarily "run" the country. Some centrist and vulnerable Democrats pushed back, arguing that nuance matters, that Maduro's removal can be seen as a win, and that the party should acknowledge prior condemnation of Venezuela's sham elections while responding in a measured way.
