US Kidnaps Venezuelan President Maduro – We watched every corporate politician's reaction

Plus, why is Marco Rubio running Venezuela now?

This weekend the Trump Administration, with neocon Marco Rubio at its helm, illegally kidnapped the president of a sovereign nation, killing at least 80 civilians in the mission. Corporate media, however, pronounces that sentence very differently:

“Extraordinary breaking news out of Venezuela! The US captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, with no US servicemen casualties in the operation.”

Why do NBC, ABC, CNN, and CBS News all seem to be covering for the Trump administration? How is Marco Rubio justifying his hostile takeover of the Venezuelan government? Are Congressional Democrats giving any opposition to the regime change operation? And can Republicans go two sentences without accidentally spilling that it isn’t drugs but oil for US corporations that ignited this war?

We analyze all this, and more, on this week’s extended Monday Mourning. To watch the full episode on oil, regime change, and who the US plans to install as the head of Venezuela next, subscribe here:
