Maduro accuses Joe Biden of ‘bloody coup’ in Venezuela

http://rt.com/news/228495-maduro-venezuela-us-coup/

The US is behind the attempted coup in Venezuela – that is the accusation President Nicolas Maduro has leveled amid widespread protests back home. And it’s none other than Vice-president Joe Biden who’s behind the entire operation, Maduro alleges.

This is the first time a direct accusation of this gravity was made in front of thousands of cheering spectators and the world at large, despite an earlier Friday statement, when Maduro struck out at several US federal agencies for allegedly plotting against Venezuela.

"The northern imperial power has entered a dangerous phase of desperation, going to talk to the continent's governments to announce the overthrow of my government. And I accuse Vice-president Joe Biden of this," the head of state said, addressing the people at the 198th anniversary of the birth of a Venezuelan hero general Zamora in Cua, Miranda state.


Didn't this idiot shake hands with Biden a month ago?

I think there's one guy who is responsible for Venezuela's continued slide into hell, and that's the mustachioed flag fondler who doesn't know his Cuban from his Puerto Rican flag!
