Maduro Ouster a Distraction Because Dems Will Talk About J6 on Tuesday

Saturday on MS NOW, Rep. Marilyn Strickland (D-WA) said the capture of Nicolas Maduro was designed around the fact that Democrats “have a lot of big issues that concern the American people, their health care, the economy, the Epstein files, and we’ll talk about January 6” when Congress reconvenes.

Strickland said: “I think one of your previous speakers mentioned that Donald Trump was transactional, what he wants is access to these oil reserves. At the same time, it’s also a big distraction. Look at the timing. We’re back in session on Tuesday. We’re going to talk about the Affordable Care Act bonuses. We’re going to talk about January 6, the Epstein files, the economy, all of these things that are so important to the American people, and, what a coincidence, this is happening.”

She later added: “[I]It’s no surprise about the timing either. We go back to Congress next week, we have a lot of big issues that concern the American people, their health care, the economy, the Epstein files, and we’ll talk about January 6, which is a little ironic here, because… Maduro, he actually stole two elections. And Donald Trump tried to do it on January 6, but he failed.”
