Democratic strategist and pundit<\/a> David Brock called out members of his party in an op-ed for the Washington Post on Thursday over their response to the capture of Nicol\u00e1s Maduro, as many condemn the Trump administration’s actions.<\/p>\n

“Democrats should say this out loud: The United States is allowed to defend itself. It is allowed to put foreign criminals in a U.S. courtroom. If we Democrats seem like we\u2019re defending a narco-state\u2019s sovereignty over American neighborhoods, we deserve to lose,” Brock wrote.<\/a><\/p>\n

The U.S. carried out strikes in Venezuela on Saturday that led to the capture of Maduro and his wife, who are now facing federal charges<\/a> that include narco-terrorism conspiracy, conspiracy to import cocaine and weapons-related charges.<\/p>\n

“The Biden administration had a $25 million bounty on Venezuelan strongman Nicol\u00e1s Maduro<\/a>. It wanted him gone. So did most Democrats. But that was then,” he added. “After the U.S. captured Maduro, a familiar reflex has kicked in across Democratic politics: oppose first, think later.”<\/p>\n

Some Democrats have argued<\/a> the operation amounted to an impeachable offense.<\/p>\n

“This violation of the United States Constitution is an impeachable offense,” Rep. Dan Goldman, D-N.Y., said in a statement. “I urge my Republican colleagues in the House of Representatives to finally join Democrats in reasserting congressional authority by holding this president accountable for this gross violation of the Constitution.”<\/p>\n

Brock pushed back on Democrats labeling the operation illegal, arguing that the facts “shouldn\u2019t be controversial.”<\/p>\n

“Secretary of State Marco Rubio<\/a> called this ‘a law enforcement operation.’ This was not an invasion. It was not an occupation or a coup. It was an arrest raid executed flawlessly with military force to extract the target. Call it what it is. Do not call it Iraq,” he wrote.<\/p>\n

President Donald Trump<\/a> was pressed on comparisons to Iraq<\/a> during a phone call with MS NOW’s Joe Scarborough on Tuesday, which the host relayed to his audience.<\/p>\n

“When I pressed comparisons with America\u2019s failed occupation of Iraq, the president\u2019s response was very different. I asked him, I said, Mr. President, when you say, ‘we\u2019re going to run everything,’ that obviously causes deep concerns because of the disaster in Iraq. The president\u2019s response: ‘Joe, the difference between Iraq and this is that Bush didn\u2019t keep the oil. We\u2019re going to keep the oil,'” Scarborough said, quoting Trump.<\/p>\n

Brock shut down the Democrats’ argument over congressional approval, which he described as a “loser.” He called out Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., for his response, which he argued “hands Republicans what they want: Democrats sounding more upset about their supposed prerogatives than about American deaths from drug trafficking.”<\/p>\n

“So what is the right posture? It is neither reflexive condemnation nor a blank check. It is strength with limits. It is a simple message voters understand: Fine, arrest the narco boss. Now tell us how it ends,” Brock wrote.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
