"He didn't like the things we were asking, about the lack of democracy in
Venezuela, the torture of political prisoners, about the humanitarian
crisis that they are living," Ramos told the network upon his release.
Univision said earlier Monday that Ramos and his crew were "arbitrarily
detained at the Miraflores Palace" because Maduro "didn't like the

Ramos' daughter, Paola Ramos, tweeted that the news anchor told her he was
safe, and that 15 minutes into his interview, "Maduro stopped him & then
forced him & his team into a dark room for 2.5 hours" before he was
"released without any of his belongings."
Ramos, according to a tweet from Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., was seemingly
able to call Univision to explain what was happening "when the phone was
taken from him & the call ended."

During a visit to the Colombia border city of Cucuta last week, Rubio
warned Venezuelan soldiers that they would commit a "crime against
humanity" if they blocked the entry of U.S. aid being channeled through
rivals of Maduro.
"This is an arrogant regime that feels invulnerable & is now acting with
total impunity," Rubio tweeted in response to Ramos and his team's
detainment.

Maduro, who began his second term as president in January, is not
recognized by the U.S. or dozens of other countries as the legitimate
president of Venezuela.
The U.S. and other nations have demanded Maduro step down and have
recognized opposition leader Juan Guaido as Venezuela's rightful leader.
Venezuelans also have staged large protests to pressure Maduro to leave.

American nations and Canada to freeze the assets of Venezuela's state-

Speaking in Colombia, Pence repeated President Trumps threat that all
options are on the table to push out Maduro.
"It's time to do more," the vice president said. "The day is coming soon
when Venezuela's long nightmare will end, when Venezuela will once more be
free, when her people will see a new birth of freedom, in a nation reborn
to libertad."

Donald J. Trump, 304 electoral votes to 227, defeated compulsive liar in
denial Hillary Rodham Clinton on December 19th, 2016. The clown car
parade of the democrat party ran out of gas and got run over by a Trump
truck.
Congratulations President Trump. Thank you for cleaning up the disaster
of the Obama presidency.
Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp.
ObamaCare is a total 100% failure and no lie that can be put forth by its
supporters can dispute that.
Obama jobs, the result of ObamaCare. 12-15 working hours a week at minimum
wage, no benefits and the primary revenue stream for ObamaCare. It can't
be funded with money people don't have, yet liberals lie about how great
it is.
Obama increased total debt from $10 trillion to $20 trillion in the eight
years he was in office, and sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood queer
liberal democrat donors.
