Trump: No regrets about video attacking Rep. Omar 02:02
(CNN)Rep. Ilhan Omar, who has previously criticized American intervention in other countries, argued this week that the United States was partly to blame for the devastation in Venezuela -- eliciting pushback Thursday from Vice President Mike Pence.
The freshman Minnesota Democrat's comments come as protests continue to rack Venezuela, with National Assembly and opposition leader Juan Guaido trying unsuccessfully to instigate a military uprising against embattled President Nicolás Maduro on Wednesday. Maduro has repeatedly blamed attempts to overthrow him on the United States, with the White House recognizing Guaido as the country's interim president and looking for ways to support him economically.
"A lot of the policies that we have put in place has kind of helped lead the devastation in Venezuela, and we've sort of set the stage for where we're arriving today," Omar said Wednesday on "Democracy Now!," which airs on PBS. "This particular bullying and the use of sanctions to eventually intervene and make regime change really does not help the people of countries like Venezuela, and it certainly does not help and is not in the interest of the United States."
