Medea Benjamin on Maduro, Venezuela, Trump

Medea Benjamin, co-founder of Code Pink, discusses the kidnapping of Venezuela’s President Maduro by the Trump administration with Mark Dunlea of Hudson Mohawk Magazine. ON Tuesday, Medea interrupted a presentation by the American ambassador to the Organization of American States (OAS) to challenge their claim that this was purely a law enforcement action rather than regime change and seizure of oil. Medea expects a close but losing vote along party lines on Thursday when the Senate votes on a War Powers Resolution seeking to rein in Trump and restore constitutional rules.
