The United States Secretary of State joined just about everyone else in accusing the Maduro government in Venezuela of rigging the presidential election this week.
Blinkin was very clear, in diplomaticspeak at least, that the results were cooked. Almost everybody around the world agrees–exit polls showed that the opposition would score a massive victory, there are videos of thugs assaulting voters and stealing ballot boxes, and early returns were showing a massive loss for Maduro.
US Sec of State Blinken:
« We have serious concerns that the results announced do not reflect the will or the votes of the Venezuelan people. The international community is watching this very closely and will respond accordingly. »

Then, the government declared that Maduro won. It was obviously not true, and Venezuelans are now expressing their unhappiness in the only way possible: tearing down Maduro posters and billboards, and filling the streets.
Everybody knows the election was cooked, except one person: Kamala Harris.
The United States stands with the people of Venezuela who expressed their voice in today’s historic presidential election. The will of the Venezuelan people must be respected. Despite the many challenges, we will continue to work toward a more democratic, prosperous, and secure…— Vice President Kamala Harris (@VP) July 28, 2024
Nothing about the obvious vote rigging, just an anodyne statement about standing with the Venezuelan people after their « will » was expressed in the election. In fact, it sure looks like she is endorsing the win Maduro claimed.
Thousands continue to protest across Venezuela over the election results, accusing Socialist President Maduro of rigging the results after the opposition was projected to win by a landslide.

Venezuela is a communist hellhole and has seen over 6 million people pick up stakes and leave to escape the economic and political disaster that Chavez and now Maduro have created.
