acknowledges the unvarnished truth - that Maduro was a thuggish dictatorial strongman - with every intention of clinging power by whatever means necessary, despite the demonstrated will of the people.

In fact - I think it somewhat difficult to hold any sort of informed discussion over the situation - without stumbling over those basic facts. Sorry if that doesn't meet the 'standards' of certain critics.

Does that equate to apology or endorsement of illegal unilateral actions by the administration? Not in my book! And - reading fairly carefully - apparently not in the mouths of Jefferies or Schumer either.
