Rachel Maddow opened her Thursday night broadcast by blaming the violent riots in Venezuela on President Trump.
No, you didn’t read that wrong.

The MSNBC host thinks this past week’s riot, taking place in a socialist country that for the better part of the millennium has been an economic dumpster fire, are due to a man who has been in office for less than 100 days.

The notion that unrest in Venezuela is due to Trump is too insane for words. Great job Maddow. pic.twitter.com/tw0VchNQGf

I watched Maddow’s show. Totally missing is any analysis as to why Venezuela is so poor they’re starving when they used to be rich. https://t.co/GlyLWqTT5z

This is just surreal. Trump Derangement Syndrome-addled media whitewashes socialist brutality. https://t.co/yUxvc84oKD

.@maddow, aren’t you afraid that the same thrust to socialism destroying Venezuela is destroying the US? How can ours be good & theirs bad?

I can imagine how @maddow will try to rationalize her Venezuela/Trump nuttery. I can’t imagine MSM allowing Fox/Breitbart similar excuses.

@North3b @MSNBC Maddow needs to cut down on the whacky weed. This Venezuela thing is just over-the -top ludicrous.

Person who just learned about unrest in Venezuela last night on Maddow lecturing me on “distractions”‘ is truly precious.

I’ll give Maddow the slightest bit of doubt on this, but I have no idea what she’s getting at here https://t.co/L6RuiaBWP9

I haven’t been able to find any other media reports saying that the Venezuela protests last night were specifically about Trump donation 2/
— Alex Griswold (@HashtagGriswold) April 21, 2017
But here’s the other problem; I searched transcripts. This is the 1st time Maddow has mentioned Venezuela protests since they’ve started 3/

So utterly destroying an economy, stripping Venezulans of their right, murders? Eh.
Donating to Trump? “LET’S GET ON THIS STORY!” 4/4
