If you were alive or even somewhat conscious during that the 2000s, you have seen this before.

Some congressional Democrats think it looks weak if they criticize the American dictator for illegally removing the Venezuelan dictator.

Asked about the possibility of impeachment, Schumer says "we hope that we can have support from our Republican colleagues to put a brake on this long before it gets that far"
