Democrats have been losing their minds over President Donald Trump’s actions in Venezuela to capture and arrest the dictator Nicolás Maduro, who was wanted in the United States and had been under indictment for five years.
We saw Democrats calling it illegal and claiming that Trump needed Congressional approval to effect Maduro’s arrest. Their hypocrisy is something else, given the actions taken by Democrats like Barack Obama in the past.
Do they recall how many civilians Barack Obama in foreign countries reportedly took out with his drone actions, which led to some referring to him as the Droner-in-Chief?
Obama embraced the US drone programme, overseeing more strikes in his first year than Bush carried out during his entire presidency. A total of 563 strikes, largely by drones, targeted Pakistan, Somalia and Yemen during Obama’s two terms, compared to 57 strikes under Bush. Between 384 and 807 civilians were killed in those countries, according to reports logged by the Bureau.
Do they recall Obama’s actions in Libya that went on for months without Congressional approval? They even had ABC questioning his actions. Can anyone forget this?
