CNN’s Scott Jennings is on a roll right now. On social media, the conservative stalwart is slapping down liberal idiocy that’s been coming down like the missiles that struck Caracas a few hours ago over our justified military action in Venezuela: Delta Force captured Nicolas Maduro and his wife. It was a massive military operation to snag the quasi-dictator over narcotics charges, among other things.
Democrats have been going bananas over this action, which isn’t unprecedented: Bush 41 toppled Manuel Noriega in Panama. It’s been an epic tour of ‘I told you so’ and ‘Gee, you’re really stupid’ from Jennings on Twitter.

Scott Jennings (@ScottJenningsKY) ~ Guy using al Qaeda’s lawyer has thoughts.

Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani (@NYCMayor) ~ I was briefed this morning on the U.S. military capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, as well as their planned imprisonment in federal custody here in New York City.
Unilaterally attacking a sovereign nation is an act of war and a violation of federal and international law.
This blatant pursuit of regime change doesn’t just affect those abroad, it directly impacts New Yorkers, including tens of thousands of Venezuelans who call this city home. My focus is their safety and the safety of every New Yorker, and my administration will continue to monitor the situation and issue relevant guidance.

The best tweet by far regarding this event: “Maduro: the only illegal alien Dems *don’t* want to bring to the US.”
