CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY JANUARY 9, 2026
HYPOCRISY IS SO BLATANT IN WASHINGTON THAT WHEN ANYONE CALLS IT OUT THERE IS A COLLECTIVE YAWN.
THE LATEST EXAMPLE IS WHAT DEMOCRATS ARE SAYING ABOUT THE ARREST OF VENEZUELA’S ILLEGITIMATE PRESIDENT AND NARCO TRAFFICKER NICOLAS MADURO.
AMONG THE MOST NOTABLE FLIPPERS IS SENATE MINORITY LEADER CHUCK SCHUMER OF NEW YORK. NEAR THE END OF PRESIDENT TRUMP’S FIRST TERM, SCHUMER CRITICIZED THE PRESIDENT FOR FAILING TO END THE REGIME AND BRING DEMOCRACY TO VENEZUELA. THIS WEEK, FOLLOWING THE SUCCESFUL CAPTURE OF MADURO, SCHUMER CLAIMED THE PRESIDENT IS “FANNING THE FLAMES OF WAR” AND CAUSING “RECKLESS REGIME CHANGE CHAOS.”
TELL THAT TO THE VENEZUELANS WHO HAVE BEEN CELEBRATING MADURO’S REMOVAL.
ANOTHER FLIPPER IS SENATOR CHRIS MURPHY OF CONNECTICUT, WHO CLAIMED THE MOTIVATION BEHIND MADURO’S REMOVAL WAS TO BENEFIT THE OIL COMPANIES AND WALL STREET. IN 2019, MURPHY CRITICIZED TRUMP FOR FAILING TO INTERVENE IN VENEZUELA AS HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSES, PROTESTS AND AN ECONOMIC COLLAPSE GRIPPED THE COUNTRY.
AS USUAL, PENNSYLVANIA DEMOCRAT SENATOR JOHN FETTERMAN WAS ON THE RIGHT SIDE, PRAISING THE PRESIDENT AND DECRYING THE ATTITUDE OF HIS DEMOCRAT COLLEAGUES
AH, HYPOCRISY. I’M CAL THOMAS.
