Democratic strategist James Carville claimed Tuesday that the U.S. would be “ripe for invasion” if it were legitimate to invade a “corrupt” regime while discussing the Trump administration’s actions in Venezuela and the capture of Nicol\u00e1s Maduro.<\/p>\n

“Look, if it was legitimate to invade a corrupt and an attempted authoritarian nation, then we better get troops on San Francisco and Boston \u2014 and all up and down the east and West Coast \u2014 because we would be ripe for invasion if somebody wanted to overturn a massively corrupt regime, which is, in my opinion, which we have here right this minute. And I think it\u2019s unfolding right in front of us,” Carville told MS NOW’s Ari Melber.<\/p>\n

Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, were captured in Venezuela on Saturday and indicted Monday in the Southern District of New York on federal charges<\/a> including narco-terrorism conspiracy, conspiracy to import cocaine, and weapons-related offenses.<\/p>\n

Carville argued that Democrats needed to speak out about who would benefit from the U.S. actions in Venezuela.<\/p>\n

“I think we should certainly hammer who benefits from this operation. We\u2019re doing all this. Who\u2019s going to be a winner? Is a deputy sheriff in some rural Iowa going to be the winner here? Is a dental hygienist in western Montana going to be the winner here? I don\u2019t think so. You\u2019re not there. There are no shoe clerks in this poker game, and you\u2019re not \u2014 you\u2019re not in it. It\u2019s not going to affect your life. In fact, it could very well adversely affect your life because we\u2019re saying international order doesn\u2019t matter,” he said.<\/p>\n

The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Fox News Digital.<\/p>\n

The Democratic strategist also spoke to Melber about Americans\u2019 views of the actions in Venezuela. A Reuters\/Ipsos survey<\/a> found that 34% of Americans disapproved of the military action, 33% approved, and 33% said they were unsure.<\/p>\n

Carville said American citizens were not involved in the operation and noted that President Donald Trump told reporters he gave notice of his actions to major oil companies, according to The Hill<\/a>.<\/p>\n

However, The Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday that Chevron and other energy companies did not receive<\/a> prior notice, citing people familiar with the matter.<\/p>\n

“Anybody that thought of voting for Donald Trump because he cared about their lives or cared about the cost of living, or their wages or their health care or anything else \u2014 you\u2019re not part of this deal, junior. You just stay out on the outside, look in, and the whole company is going to cut their deals, and that\u2019s just what\u2019s going to happen. And people are just two thirds of the country that doesn\u2019t like this or are on the verge not liking it. It\u2019s pretty clear,” Carville said.<\/p>\n

Democrats have argued that Trump lacks the legal authority to take military action in Venezuela without congressional approval. Secretary of State Marco Rubio defended the operation Sunday, arguing that congressional approval<\/a> was not necessary.<\/p>\n

“This is not an operation that requires congressional approval. In fact, this is an operation akin to what virtually every single president for the last 40 years has conducted. The difference is that when it\u2019s Donald Trump, you know, all these Democrats go bonkers,” Rubio told NBC’s Kristen Welker on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Trump announced Tuesday that interim authorities in Venezuela would turn over between 30 million and 50 million barrels of “high-quality” sanctioned oil to the U.S.<\/a><\/p>\n

Trump said the oil would be sold at market price, and he would control the proceeds to ensure it is “used to benefit the people of Venezuela and the United States!”\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
