Our elite military once again executed its mission with extraordinary precision and professionalism, achieving its objectives with minimal loss of life. They remain the most capable, best-trained, and bravest fighting force anywhere in the world.
President Trump demonstrated decisive leadership by taking action to protect the American homeland from the growing threats of narco-terrorism and the deadly flow of illicit drugs destabilizing our region.
Predictably, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries attacked President Trump even after a successful operation that removed a brutal dictator and drug lord from power.
Yet even some Democrats—particularly those in Florida who have witnessed firsthand the suffering of millions displaced from Venezuela—understand the truth: this operation was not only successful, it was necessary.
Congratulations to the brave men and women of the United States military, President Trump, his national security team, and the people of Venezuela. They now have a chance to reject socialism and embrace liberty.
