McCarthy claimed that health care and college tuition reform risk collapsing the U.S. economy.
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy has suggested that the chaos engulfing Venezuela is a direct result of progressive policies similar to those advocated by U.S. politicians such as Sen. Bernie Sanders and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
In January, a power struggle emerged as the 35-year-old leader of the opposition controlled National Assembly, Juan Guaido, declared President Nicolas Maduro's regime illegitimate. Arguing that Maduro’s last election victory was invalid, Guaido declared himself interim president and called for new elections to be held.
“All of America should watch what is happening in Venezuela,” McCarthy told Hannity. “There is about 50,000 people a day who pass over that border to Colombia to buy the essentials from milk to toilet paper… They do not have electricity. The hospitals do not have electricity. They do not have running water. Babies are being born and put in cardboard boxes.
As oil prices began to fall—beginning around a year after Chavez died in 2013—his successor Maduro was left facing huge gaps in the national budget which have resulted in hyperinflation, power shortages and a lack of essential goods. “They want to promise you free health care,” McCarthy said. “They want to promise you what's happening in Venezuela today, and that's why people are leaving.”
