Minnesota Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar is facing a social media backlash after accusing President Trump of backing a “coup” in the socialist-led country of Venezuela even though Nicolas Maduro’s government is considered largely illegitimate by much of the international community.
“A US backed coup in Venezuela is not a solution to the dire issues they face,” Omar tweeted. “Trump’s efforts to install a far right opposition will only incite violence and further destabilize the region. We Must support Mexico, Uruguay, & the Vatican’s efforts to facilitate a peaceful dialogue.”

Yascha Mounk noted “the opposition in not far right,” also saying “the idea that there is no violence at the moment, or that it’s the result of US policy rather than Nicolas Maduro, is absurd.”
* The opposition is not far-right
* The idea that there is no violence at the moment, or that it's the result of US policy rather than Nicolas Maduro, is absurd
As the vastly differing stances by Sanders and Omar show, the left of the Dems is much less united than people think. https://t.co/T2ch125uWC
