Venezuelan Americans Warn U.S. Voters in Powerful Video: Bernie Is Your Enemy

While some members of the media go to great lengths to argue that U.S. democratic socialists are not the same as Latin American socialists, many Venezuelan-Americans see little difference between the two.

Hundreds of Venezuelan ex-pats that gathered for a “Venezuela Freedom Rally” in Washington, D.C. had a warning for their fellow Americans: Don’t do it!

According to Campus Reform which covered the event, attendees were deeply troubled that so many Americans view socialism favorably and that a self-described “democratic socialist” has a credible chance of becoming the Democratic Party’s presidential nominee in 2020. . .
