NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Fox News analyst and broadcaster Mark Levin reacted to the US military strike in Venezuela on Saturday, January 3. The news analyst took to X to clap back at the Democratic representatives who condemned the strikes in a series of fiery posts.

Levin argued that the removal of Nicolas Maduro from Venezuela did not violate international law and also called out Democrats for defending totalitarian regimes against America’s security and interests, while calling them “pure evil.”

Mark Levin calls out ‘buffoonish Democrats’

Since the capture of Nicolas Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores, Mark Levin launched an online attack defending President Trump’s decision.

In one of his posts, Levin questioned how many refugees from Venezuela, Iran, Russia, and Qatar had Joe Rogan, Tucker Carlson, Steve Bannon, and the “rest of the Woke Reich cabal” interviewed.

He argued that the anti-Trump podcasters and reporters were busy interviewing each other, as he called them bigots, conspiracy nuts, comics, and “phony historians.”

In another post, featuring a news article talking about the military action in Venezuela, Levin stated that the “buffoonish Democrats” were lining up to support Maduro.

“Although they will use word salads to pretend they are not. Keep a list, although it might require several pages of paper,” he wrote. 

The Fox News broadcaster called Democrats “situational constitutionalists,” noting that they hated Maduro’s indictment sheet and its author. He further slammed them for wanting to twist the framers’ words to defend their own anti-constitutional ideology and politics. 

Mark Levin thanks Donald Trump for freeing Venezuela

Soon after the news of the Venezuelan strike broke out, Mark Levin took to X to praise the Trump administration’s actions. He wrote that Venezuelans were “free” due to Donald Trump’s efforts.



Levin congratulated and thanked the president, and commander-in-chief, the secretaries of war and state, the DNI, and the CIA for being the “greatest on earth.”

“We Americans could not be prouder of you all! What a stunning and extraordinary military operation,” he added.

Levin also reshared a post by Fox News, which featured an article talking about Thomas Massie and Marjorie Taylor Greene’s critiques of the Venezuelan strikes. Levin clarified that Trump had acted constitutionally, adding that “presidents make wars.”

He also added that there was precedent, as he listed Noriega and Panama as examples. However, he claimed that any clarification would not matter to Massie or Greene or most Democrats, for that matter.
