<p>Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) made a direct comparison between President Donald Trump and the recently-extradited Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro, saying that both had attempted to seize &#8220;illegitimate&#8221; power, but that Maduro had been &#8220;successful.&#8221;</p>
<p>Crockett made the <a href="https://x.com/NickFondacaro/status/2008587925471023456">comments</a> during a Tuesday appearance on ABC&#8217;s &#8220;The View,&#8221; where she claimed that the Trump administration&#8217;s move to arrest and extradite Maduro had been &#8220;illegal&#8221; and claimed the president did not care about what happened to the Venezuelan people.</p>
<p>&#8220;When he went in to get Maduro, he killed even more Venezuelans – this ain&#8217;t about Venezuelans! I get that there are people that don&#8217;t like the leader. But guess what, there are a lot of people that don&#8217;t like our leader! And — and — regardless, somebody coming into the United States and grabbing our leader in the middle of the night and killing people in this country, I&#8217;m sure everybody would be outraged at them doing it that way.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;But nobody stops [Trump],&#8221; Joy Behar complained.</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m trying, Joy,&#8221; Crockett said.</p>
<p><strong>WATCH:</strong></p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
<p dir="ltr" lang="en">Crockett doubles down and says Trump wants to be the Maduro of the United States:<br />
&#8220;Everyone wants to talk about how Maduro was illegitimate. As we sit here on January 6th, I do want to be clear, somebody else was trying to be a Maduro of the United States. Somebody else wanted to… <a href="https://t.co/zQHjBICTkg">pic.twitter.com/zQHjBICTkg</a></p>

<p>&#8220;I do want to just say this,&#8221; Crockett continued. &#8220;Everyone wants to talk about how Maduro was illegitimate. As we sit here on January 6th, I do want to be clear, somebody else was trying to be a Maduro of the United States. Somebody else wanted to do the exact same thing. The difference is Maduro was successful.&#8221;</p>
<p>Crockett then claimed that Trump&#8217;s support of redistricting in states like Texas — where duly-elected representatives of the people had voted to adopt new maps — was concrete proof that the president &#8220;doesn&#8217;t believe in free and fair elections.&#8221;</p>
