Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) slammed the U.S. operation that captured Venezuela's authoritarian President Nicolas Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, saying it is not aimed at countering drug-trafficking.

“It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month. It’s about oil and regime change. And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from Epstein + skyrocketing healthcare costs,” she claimed in a social media publication.
