Senator John Fetterman criticized fellow Democrats for failing to "acknowledge" that the capture of Venezuela's authoritarian President Nicolas Maduro was a positive development for the South American country.
In a social media publication, Fetterman recalled that "less than a year ago, President Biden upped the Maduro bounty to $25,000,000."
Removing Maduro was positive for Venezuela. As a Democrat, I don't understand why we can't acknowledge a good development for Venezuelans—and how deft our military's execution of that plan was," Fetterman added.
The senator is among the Democrats who have questioned the overall response of the party. Axios reported that some in the more centrist wing of the party have suggested in private that colleagues should be celebrating Maduro's capture rather than denouncing it

Welcome to the new trial. Just a thought.
A federal judge has finally pulled the plug on the lavish lifestyle of the woman prosecutors say sat at the center of the massive Minnesota fraud scandal that drained a staggering quarter-billion dollars from a program meant to feed hungry children.
Aimee Bock, the 44-year-old ringleader behind the Feeding Our Future non-profit, She was found guilty on federal charges of bribery, wire fraud, and conspiracy in relation to the largest COVID-19 fraud scandal in America.
The ringleader of the Minnesota fraud scheme who once wrapped herself in the language of compassion and community service, has now been ordered to surrender her Porsche, diamond jewelry, designer handbags, electronics and millions of dollars tied to the fraud. The ruling marks a dramatic reversal for someone Aimee Bock, who allegedly turned pandemic relief into a personal ATM.
The Minnesota fraud case investigators say at least $250 million was siphoned off by Aimee Bock through a network of nonprofits and shell organizations that flourished during a period when oversight was loosened and urgency trumped verification. Officials warn the final price tag could climb even higher as financial records continue to be untangled.
The Bock.... Stopped here.
