Both Venezuela strongman Nicolas Maduro and opposition claim election win

Venezuela’s President Nicolás Maduro and his political opponents both claimed to have won the presidential election, as the United States and multiple regional nations voiced skepticism about official results handing victory to the strongman leader. Opposition leader María Corina Machado said in a news conference that their own records showed their candidate Edmundo González Urrutia had received 70% of the vote against Maduro’s 30%. #CNN #News

Maduro just followed the playbook used by Daniel Ortega in Nicaragua, Vladimir Putin in Russia and many more dictators.

Blinken has no credibility after what he did in 2020.

[surendramumgai]

The presidential election in Venezuela is fairer than in the US...

[larryp]

Kinda like what happened in America in 2020 🤔

[colt-sslw]

Blinken telling the world how all the ballots should be counted but refused to have that done in the 2020 election in the U.S.A.

[hinthegroove]

So many politicians throughout the world are now using the same tactics as in America.
The question is: will the people go with them…

[ricardocarvalho]

You still question whether there was corruption with Maduro there? 😂😂😂😂

[noahlcastello]

THRERE WERE NO WITNESSES BECAUSE HE DIDN'T ALOWED.

[LearnMadSkillsSigma]

Blinken, working for an installed POTUS, is pointing out Venezuelan Elections may not be fair. WOW. What a revelation.

[thekingofkingsrp]

Sounds like the democratic party playbook.

[susanstandard]

Serious concerns of the Venezuela vote? That’s rich!

[venchergaming]
