The political crisis in Venezuela is back in headlines after incumbent dictator Nicolas Maduro ‘won’ Venezuela’s recent election — an unverified result that the vast majority of Venezuelans and Americans believe to be illegitimate. As protests worsen in the region, Sean and Rachel are
joined by Rachel’s sister, Latin America expert Leah Compos to discuss the long history of political corruption in Venezuela and how the social media platform, X, is playing a major role in revealing exploitation in the country that many around the world aren’t aware of.
They also share their fascinating conversation with Venezuelan-American journalist, activist, and former Miss Venezuela, Carmen Maria Montiel from earlier this week, where she provides more valuable insight on this issue and draws alarming parallels between the erosion of democratic norms in Venezuela and concerning trends in the U.S.
