Venezuelan leader María Corina Machado dedicates Nobel Prize to Trump amid ongoing political turmoil.
As Robert reported earlier today, Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado won the Nobel Peace Prize. My personal opinion is that if couldn’t have been Donald Trump, this was the next best choice. Machado is the face of the movement that is looking communism in the eye in Latin America and telling it to take a hike — something that will eventually benefit every one of us here in the U.S. if it’s successful. She’s worked tirelessly at taking down the country’s illegitimate narco-terrorist regime for years.
They call her Venezuela’s « Iron Lady. » She’s rallied millions to fight, and she’s beloved by her fellow countrymen and people around the world. For those of you who don’t know, Nicolás Maduro banned her from running for president, so she threw her support behind Edmundo González for the 2024 election. He was the voice. She was the architect. They had the support of their country.
González won in a landslide, but as you can see, Maduro is still el presidente and González lives in exile in Europe. Machado lives in Venezuela in hiding because of nonstop threats on her life.
This is why I try to emphasize to everyone that if the U.S. intervenes, it’s not nation-building or a « forever war. » It’s getting rid of the dictator who harms even our country so the rightful people can take over and implement their own plan to honor their own citizens’ wishes. There’s no « building » at all. We’re just handing them a little muscle to help them reclaim something that Maduro and his thugs hold hostage at the moment, but I’ll write much more on that later, and I’m working on a bigger profile on Machado, both of which should be available here next week.
González and Machado are both very pro-freedom and democracy, and extremely pro-United States, and would become some of our greatest allies.
Earlier this year, Secretary of State Marco Rubio had this to say about Machado:
María Corina Machado, the Venezuelan Iron Lady, is the personification of resilience, tenacity, and patriotism. Undeterred by formidable challenges, María Corina has never backed down from her mission of fighting for a free, fair, and democratic Venezuela. Machado’s guiding principle has remained the same since I first met her over a decade ago—to leave for her children Ana Corina, Ricardo, Henrique, and the children of Venezuela, a country free of tyranny. The phrase ‘hasta el final’ encapsulates her enduring legacy. Over the past year, her resolve has faced unprecedented challenges as she has bravely confronted the Maduro regime’s efforts to undermine the will of the Venezuelan people.
A woman of faith who valiantly marches the streets of her homeland armed with the holy rosary and supported by countless courageous Venezuelans, Machado has stood firm against it all, defending the land of Bolívar. Her principled leadership is a beacon of hope, making our region and our world a better place.
