Kamala is clearly salty.
Former Vice President Kamala Harris launched a fresh political attack on President Donald Trump late Saturday, sharply criticizing his administration’s high-profile operation involving Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro.
Harris responded after U.S. officials confirmed that Maduro and his wife were taken into American custody and removed from Venezuela as part of a coordinated federal operation. While acknowledging that Maduro is widely viewed as a brutal and illegitimate ruler, Harris argued that President Trump’s actions were legally questionable and strategically risky.
In a lengthy social media post, Harris claimed the operation would not make the United States safer or improve economic conditions for American families. She warned that bold foreign policy moves, even against hostile regimes, can lead to long-term instability if not carefully managed.
“We’ve seen this before,” Harris wrote, suggesting that past interventions promoted as strength often resulted in chaos abroad and higher costs at home. She argued that American families ultimately bear the burden when foreign conflicts escalate.
The statement was issued only hours after the Trump administration announced that Maduro and his wife had been removed from Venezuela during a mission officials referred to as “Operation Absolute Resolve.” U.S. authorities have for years alleged that Maduro’s government is deeply involved in corruption, drug trafficking, and widespread human rights violations.
Harris also accused the Trump administration of acting out of economic self-interest rather than a genuine effort to restore democracy or combat international crime. She claimed the American public is increasingly skeptical of overseas interventions that lack transparency.
According to Harris, the operation risks destabilizing the region and placing U.S. personnel in harm’s way. She further argued that the administration has failed to clearly explain the legal authority behind the move, the long-term plan, or how it directly benefits Americans at home.
“Americans want leadership that focuses on lowering costs, enforcing the law, strengthening alliances, and putting the country first,” Harris said, drawing a contrast between her priorities and President Trump’s approach.
Maduro and his wife reportedly arrived late Saturday at a federal detention facility in Brooklyn after being processed by authorities in New York.
Earlier in the day, President Trump defended the operation, stating that the United States would oversee Venezuela’s governance “until a safe, proper, and orderly transition can take place.”
As political reactions continue, Harris’s comments represent her most direct criticism yet of President Trump’s foreign policy decision-making—while supporters of the president argue the move reflects decisive leadership against one of the hemisphere’s most notorious regimes.
