Video of Venezuelans Eating Out of a Garbage Truck Led Maduro to Walk Out of Jorge Ramos Interview

Enjoying the fruits of chavismo

Univision anchor Jorge Ramos was detained by Venezuelan authorities on Monday after an interview with President Nicolas Maduro reportedly stormed out of what appeared to be a tough interview.

What caused Maduro to cut the interview short? It was footage that the Univision crew shot of Venezuelan citizens picking through refuse out of the back of a garbage truck and eating whatever they can find that is ostensibly potable. That footage was so offensive to Maduro that he stood up and left the interview.

In a Facebook video published after his release, Ramos revealed that he had asked Maduro if he could be called a “dictator.” Then, at the end of the interview, he said he showed a video of kids looking for food in the trash to the Venezuelan leader. Maduro was not impressed and tried to close the iPad to avoid viewing the images.

The good news is that Maduro's armed colectivos are able to enjoy the best bits of garbage. Nothing like sending your goons out to get the best garbage from the finest sources! They are literally having gun battles over garbage!
