Reporter to Mnuchin: Why Is Maduro Worse than All the Other Dictators Like Erdogan, Duterte, Putin?

They ‘also routinely step on the rule of law and ignore democratic norms, and yet President Trump and this administration can’t seem to bring themselves to criticize them’

EXCERPT:

REPORTER: "This is a pretty strongly worded statement, and you describe President Maduro as a dictator who disregards the rule of law and things like that. I’ll ask you again, because I asked you this last time you guys were up here on this subject: How is what’s happening in Venezuela with President Maduro any different from the situations with dictators in Turkey, in the Philippines, and in Russia that also routinely step on the rule of law and ignore democratic norms? And yet President Trump and his administration can’t seem to bring themselves to criticize them. Why is this dictator worse than all the other dictators?"
