Seven years ago, US Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard wrote in 2019 on Twitter: "The United States needs to stay out of Venezuela. Let the Venezuelan people determine their future. We don't other countries to choose our leaders—so we have to stop trying to choose theirs."

Now as director of National Intelligence in the Trump administration, Tulsi Gabbard is a key part of the US overthrow of the Venezuelan government and the kidnapping of the Venezuelan president and his wife and the deaths of at least 40 persons in Venezuela.

During her 2018 Congressional reelection campaign, she warned of “regime change wars:” “Every dollar spent on interventionist regime change wars is a dollar not spent on education, healthcare, infrastructure, and a myriad of other needs desperately needed right here at home.”

“We are spending trillions of dollars on unnecessary interventionist wars that do not serve the interests of the American people—money that should be spent on investing in infrastructure, affordable housing, education, healthcare, and other priorities here at home,”
