BREAKING: US DECLARES GONZÁLEZ VICTOR IN VENEZUELA ELECTION, REJECTS MADURO'S CLAIM

Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken has issued a statement challenging Venezuela's official election results, declaring opposition candidate Edmundo González Urrutia as the true winner of the July 28 presidential election.

Blinken states that the National Electoral Council's declaration of Maduro's victory is "deeply flawed" and lacks credibility.

He cites opposition-published tally sheets from over 80% of polling stations, indicating González won by an "insurmountable margin," corroborated by independent observers and exit polls.

The U.S. applauds the 12 million Venezuelans who voted despite challenges and rejects Maduro's allegations against opposition leaders.

Blinken calls for the release of those arrested for peaceful participation and urges a peaceful transition.

Tin foil: This is cover for when they steal our election to be able to point to and say, “no, look at what we said about their elections, we would never have bad elections here!”

Tin foil, off.

Sounds suspiciously like an insurrection, or so I am led to believe

What a huge win for the Venezuelan people.

For tin foil hat theories: this actually puts the Dems in the position of having to respect precinct by precinct reviews. If they champion them in Venezuela, why not here?

We are fighting socialism here just like Maria Machado and Gonzales. The socialist state goes after you like the Democrats are doing to Trump. We can’t let Kamala or the Democrats take our guns for sure.

Isn't it dangerous and undemocratic to question election results?

The opposition in the streets all over the country tells you this.

The same goes for the rallies we see several times a week for DJT.

Eyes do not lie.
