Another told the outlet, &#8220;I wish the Democratic Party would be a little bit more measured on this.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>CNN&#8217;s John Berman asked Van Hollen, &#8220;What do you think of this criticism apparently coming from a Democrat?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/trump-issues-direct-warning-venezuelas-new-leader-delcy-rodriguez-following-maduro-capture\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>TRUMP ISSUES DIRECT WARNING TO VENEZUELA&#8217;S NEW LEADER DELCY RODR\u00cdGUEZ FOLLOWING MADURO CAPTURE<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I wish they would come out, you know, on the record. We can have a healthy debate. I think the American people, whether they agree with you or disagree with you, they want to know where you stand. And so those Democrats really should come out and on the record. Let\u2019s have a debate. This is not a win for the American people, running Venezuela and talking about putting American lives at risk to go into Colombia or Cuba or wherever it may be, is not in our interests,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>Van Hollen pointed to Marjorie Taylor <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/media\/greene-hits-trump-over-venezuela-strikes-argues-action-doesnt-serve-american-people\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Greene&#8217;s criticism of Trump&#8217;s actions<\/a> in Venezuela. Greene called out Trump on Sunday and said he should be focused on domestic policy.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I mean, Donald Trump has been talking about putting a health care plan on the table for over 15 years. He hasn\u2018t done so. Instead, what he\u2019s doing is going after foreign leaders, cozying up to some, going after others. We should be focused on these issues here at home,&#8221; Van Hollen added.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/maduros-capture-beginning-end-cubas-regime-house-intelligence-chair-says\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>MADURO&#8217;S CAPTURE IS &#8216;BEGINNING OF THE END&#8217; FOR CUBA&#8217;S REGIME, HOUSE INTELLIGENCE CHAIR SAYS<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Another centrist Democrat in the House said the party&#8217;s general response to the strikes and Maduro capture made them look &#8220;weak,&#8221; according to Axios.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If you don&#8217;t acknowledge when there is a win for our country, then you lose all credibility,&#8221; the lawmaker told the outlet.<\/p>\n<p>Democrats also spoke to Axios about the party&#8217;s criticism of the country&#8217;s fraudulent elections in 2024, when Maduro claimed victory and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/world\/venezuelan-president-nicolas-maduro-claims-election-victory-refuses-publish-results\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">refused to publish the results.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/media\"><strong>CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTURE<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What happened to when they had the election and Maduro stole the election?
