Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Refuses to Denounce Venezuelan Dictator Maduro

EXCERPT:

OCASIO-CORTEZ: "Yeah, so I think that this is absolutely a complex issue. I think it’s important that we approach this very carefully. One, I am I’m myself, just like anyone else who is absolutely concerned with the humanitarian crises that’s happening, and I think it’s important that any solution that we have centers the Venezuelan people and centers the democracy of Venezuelan people first. I am very concerned about U.S. interventionism in Venezuela and I oppose it, especially when we talk about a figure like this U.S. special envoy Elliott Abrams here. I think it’s — he’s pled guilty to several crimes related to Iran-Contra and I don’t think that we should be — you know, I am generally opposed to U.S. interventionism as a principle, but particularly under this administration and under his leadership I think it’s a profound mistake."
