U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said the United States has ‘serious concerns’ about the announced result of Venezuela’s hotly contested presidential election that authorities say was won by incumbent Nicolas Maduro.
Speaking in Tokyo on Monday shortly after the announcement was made, Blinken said the U.S. was concerned that the result reflected neither the will nor the votes of the Venezuelan people. He called for election officials to publish the full results transparently and immediately and said the U.S. and the international community would respond accordingly.
It’s more that we’ve got a long history of Sec of States going on record saying things that are categorically untrue. Could ABC News find us a slightly more trustworthy source? Perhaps an unnamed Iraq informant code-named Curveball? Or an FBI informant with Neo-Nazi ties looking to rat on a civil rights icon? Bill Clinton talking about a blowjob? Literally anyone more trustworthy.
