Kamala Harris’s statement on today's military action in Venezuela

Wars for regime change or oil that are sold as strength but turn into chaos, and American families pay the price. The American people do not want this, and they are tired of being lied to...

Kamala Harris 
Donald Trump’s actions in Venezuela do not make America safer,
stronger, or more affordable.
That Maduro is a brutal, illegitimate dictator does not change the fact
that this action was both unlawful and unwise. We’ve seen this movie
before. Wars for regime change or oil that are sold as strength but turn
into chaos, and American families pay the price.
The American people do not want this, and they are tired of being lied to.
This is not about drugs or democracy. It is about oil and Donald Trump’s
desire to play the regional strongman. If he cared about either, he
wouldn’t pardon a convicted drug trafficker or sideline Venezuela’s
legitimate opposition while pursuing deals with Maduro’s cronies.
The President is putting troops at risk, spending billions, destabilizing a
region, and offering no legal authority, no exit plan, and no benefit at
home.
America needs leadership whose priorities are lowering costs for
working families, enforcing the rule of law, strengthening alliances, and
— most importantly — putting the American people first.
