Sen. Chris Murphy ADMITS Involvement in a Coup in Venezuela

"Our Venezuela policy over the last year and a half has been an unmitigated disaster and if we aren't honest about that then we can't self-correct...

All we did was play all our cards on day one and it didn't work and it's just been an embarrassing mistake after mistake.

First, we thought that getting Guaido to declare himself president would be enough to topple the regime. Then, we thought putting aid on the border would be enough.

Then, we tried to sort of construct a kind of coup in April of last year and it blew up in our face when all the generals that were supposed to break with maduro decided to stick with him in the end."

- Senator Chris Murphy (D-Conn), August 2020
