Vice President Kamala Harris was slammed on X after she posted a message saying that the will of the Venezuelan people must be respected as the opposition had been claiming irregularities after incumbent president Nicholas Maduro was declared the winner.
“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 future for the people of Venezuela,” Kamala Harris who will be contesting the presidential election from the Democratic party against Donald Trump this November said.
The message struck as unclear to many as it was not clear whether she was supporting Maduro.
Social media was up in arms and asked why she felt the need to make the post while she did not make one on the Golan missile strike. “US politicians like Kamala Harris think they can decide for Venezuelans. That’s why Venezuela has a revolution. They no longer want to take orders from the US empire. The people have voted for socialism and independence against fascism and colonialism,” one wrote.

“The United States people do not stand with you,” another reply said. “Kamala Harris – the Dem nominee who received zero votes – is lecturing Venezuela about “democracy”? This is hilarious,” another wrote.
“You’re absolutely pathetic. It has been 24 hours since 12 innocent little children were killed by Hezbollah, and you haven’t said a single f**king word. Embarrassing. Go on and keep yapping about the “dire” fake crisis in Gaza while at it,” a user wrote.
“You stay silent on the blatant election fraud? Shameful!” one said. Another chimed in that Kamala Harris’s stand is not clear.
“Why are we hearing this from you? Are you the president now?” one wrote.
“Kamala isn’t talking to the people of Venezuela, she’s talking to the thousands of Venezuelan illegal immigrants currently in America that were freed from prisons and institutions. She’s counting on their vote in November,” another wrote.
While Kamala made the post earlier, US secretary of state Antony Blinken made US’s official position on Venezuela election clear that US is concerned that the result announced does not reflect the will of the Venezuelan people. “We’ve seen the announcement just a short while ago by the Venezuelan electoral commission. We have serious concerns that the result announced does not reflect the will or the votes of the Venezuelan people,” Blinken said.
