Senate Democrats who once demanded stronger action against Nicolás Maduro are now warning about consequences of U.S. military action in Venezuela after President Trump took action.

Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., has been criticized over her shifting stance on Venezuela and its fallen president
Nicolás Maduro after she supported military action to take out Maduro and "delegitimizing" the Venezuelan government in 2019, but condemned the Trump administration for trying "to ‘run’ another country."
In 2019, when running for president, Klobuchar advocated for using the military to remove Maduro and help establish a democracy in Venezuela,
saying, "I'm also glad that we're trying to push Maduro out. But the answer here is to make sure that we are working with our allies, pushing for democracy and some kind of a negotiated agreement. Military should always be on the table."
Meanwhile, on another occasion in 2019, Klobuchar again endorsed American involvement in bringing democracy to Venezuela,
saying she, "of course supported bringing in the new president and delegitimizing the Maduro government," and "You always leave things on the table," when asked about U.S. intervention.
"Democrats like Klobuchar and Schumer spent years demanding the removal of dictator Nicolás Maduro. Now that President Trump has actually done it, they suddenly oppose the outcome. The Democratic Party has entered the terminal phase of Trump Derangement Syndrome," said Rep. Andy Ogles, R-Tenn.
