It's curious how this neoliberal activist that went on TYT and other media to make the "progressive" case for a Trump-led right-wing coup in Venezuela never mentions she has lived in the US *since 1986* -- over a decade before Chávez won his first election
It's common for rich, right-wing elites to lie about when they left Latin American countries that *later* had leftist governments.

Marco Rubio has built his entire career on this blatant lie.
It's qwhite noteworthy how racist the Venezuelan rich elite is. This is the "diaspora" that the wife of Venezuela's Trump-appointed right-wing coup leader met with in NY

This is NOT what Venezuela looks like. It's the elite whose families came from Europe
Venezuela's US-backed, light-skinned elite opposition has used flagrant racism to demonize Chavismo, which is overwhelmingly popular among poor and working-class dark-skinned Venezuelans.

The right-wing opposition often depicts Chávez and Maduro as apes
