Former GOP Congressman Joe Walsh: "Maduro will buy himself a sweetheart pardon from Trump"
"MAGA, remember when Donald Trump told you he would lower the cost of groceries? Lol, right. Remember when he said he would only go after criminal immigrants? Really bad call. Remember when he said his administration would release the Epstein files? Yeah, you fell for that one, too. Hard. And remember when he said he’d be the anti-war President? The President of Peace? The 'America First' President? Well, I’ve got some bad news for you…" Walsh wrote, adding, "We just usurped a nation’s sovereignty to take over their natural resources, and according to Trump, 'We are going to run Venezuela.'"
"I have no sympathy for Maduro. But what we just did in Venezuela is immoral, unconstitutional, and illegal. And it makes us no different than any other dictatorial regime that invades another sovereign nation," he added. "Don’t kid yourself: this has nothing to do with drugs. Trump issued a full and complete pardon to former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández last month, leading to his release from a U.S. federal prison where he was serving a 45-year sentence for drug trafficking."

"And that’s probably how this will end too: Maduro will buy himself a sweetheart pardon from Trump. Book it," Walsh wrote.
He added, "MAGA, it’s time to grow the f--- up. You allowed this utterly corrupt, dangerous, lawless madman to return to the White House, knowing exactly who and what he is. You did that. Own it. But it’s not too late. We have one opportunity to fix this: help us put maximum pressure on Congress to do its fucking job. Because right now, we don’t have a functioning Legislative Branch. And until and unless we do, the America we knew is gone. Maybe for good."
