Yesterday, the people of Venezuela voted in an election that was dubious from the start and was neither free nor fair.
U.S. Senators Marco Rubio (R-FL), Bill Cassidy (R-LA), John Kennedy (R-LA), Michael Bennet (D-CO), Peter Welch (D-VT), Rick Scott (R-FL), Pete Ricketts (R-NE), John Cornyn (R-TX), Tim Scott (R-SC) as well as U.S. Representatives Carlos Giménez (R-FL), Jenniffer González-Colón (R-PR), María Elvira Salazar (R-FL), Ruben Gallego (D-AZ), Chris Smith (R-NJ), Mario Díaz-Balart (R-FL), and Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) released a joint statement after the criminal and illegitimate Maduro narco-regime claimed victory in this sham presidential election:
“To no one’s surprise, dictator Nicolás Maduro has once again stolen a presidential election. However, what the narco-regime will never steal is the Venezuelan people’s desire to return to democracy and live in freedom after decades of tyranny. We must prioritize uniting the free world in rejecting these sham election results and securing the release of the more than 300 Venezuelans that remain arbitrarily detained in torture centers as political prisoners.
“The Maduro dictatorship is experiencing an internal fracture, and members of the dictatorship know their status quo, which is filled with incompetence, is no longer sustainable. There is massive discontent in the streets of Venezuela, and everyday citizens have stood in support of opposition leaders María Corina Machado and Edmundo Gonzalez. Let there be no doubt: the countries and international organizations backing this fraud of unimaginable proportions must be held accountable, as should members of the narco-regime and its ‘National Electoral Council’.”
