Venezuela’s Top Court Ratifies Maduro’s Victory After Reviewing Supposed “Fraud Evidence”

You can be against Maduro and support the Democrat and Republican agenda to overthrow him. You can whine about him sending the cops to shoot protesters. You can look at the behavior of Venezuelans on the streets of New York, and see how nice and friendly the Venezuelans are, and you can keep asking yourself over and over: “Why would this guy need to kill people who are rioting in the streets???”

But it’s just dumb to claim he somehow didn’t win the election. He’s been winning elections for a long time.

You might want to consider the fact that millions of anti-Maduro people left Venezuela and entered the US in the last two years, something that also caused a massive reduction in crime, and ask yourself if that is likely to be good or bad for his election results.

Venezuela’s Supreme Justice Tribunal on Thursday ratified President Nicolas Maduro’s victory in the July 28 presidential election, sealing institutional backing for the ruling party as the disputed contest fades from international headlines.

Since the vote and deadly anti-government protests which followed, Maduro’s administration has conducted what the opposition, human rights groups and unions have characterized as a crackdown on dissent.

The actions have included arrests of opposition figures and protesters, an investigation into opposition leaders for allegedly inciting the military to commit crimes, the passage of a law tightening rules on NGOs, and forced resignations of state employees allegedly espousing pro-opposition views.

The supreme tribunal has reviewed material from the electoral authority and agrees that Maduro won the election, court president Caryslia Rodriguez said, adding the decision cannot be appealed.

The supreme court has no constitutional right to carry out any electoral functions, making its ruling null, the opposition has said.

Yeah, I’m sure they’re going to keep saying that.

But the pro-Maduro protests were much bigger than the riots.

People love this guy.

If you want to invade the country and overthrow the government because you agree with the Republican and Democrat parties and think he’s bad for Israel or whatever, it’s your right to think that.

But it’s just goofy to claim he lost the election.
