Democrats are losing their minds over President Donald Trump's efforts in Venezuela to capture and arrest dictator Nicolas Maduro, who was wanted in the United States and under indictment for five years.
We saw Democrats calling it illegal and saying Trump needed congressional approval to arrest Maduro. Their hypocrisy is something else considering the actions taken by Democrats like Barack Obama in the past.

Do they remember how many civilians Barack Obama has reportedly killed in foreign countries with his drone actionswhat led some to call him the Chief Droneer?
Obama accepted the US drone programoverseeing more strikes in his first year than Bush did in his entire presidency. In just two terms, Obama carried out 563 strikes, mostly using drones, in Pakistan, Somalia and Yemen, compared with 57 strikes under Bush. According to the Bureau, between 384 and 807 civilians were killed in these countries.
Do they remember Obama's actions in Libya, which continued for months without congressional approval? They even had ABC questioning his actions. Can anyone forget this?
Obama and Clinton did not seek congressional authorization to wage the eight-month war in Libya.
“We came, we saw, he died,” they laughed, violating the War Powers Resolution.

Schumer: Back in December, I went to SCIF three times and asked the administration, are you pushing for regime change? Are you going to start military operations in Venezuela? Venezuelan territory? And they assured me that they do not pursue these goals. Clearly they are not being honest with the American people.
Wait, what, Chuck? What did you just say? Did he just talk about what was said in SCIF?
And you wonder why they didn't tell you? It was incredibly important for operational safety to be able to pull this off, to keep it close to the vest. And if you are talking about what was said in SCIF, then there is a problem.
People immediately announced this.
Nothing says you take national security seriously like making public conversations you say you had at SCIF. https://t.co/LDFR7Q95fE

Schumer reveals secret conversations, claiming he should have said more in those secret conversations. https://t.co/M5p85qGBLM

The Democrats are not only incredibly hypocritical, but they have no support here.
