THREAD: Viral misinformation on US capture of Nicolas Maduro - 4 January

This video, shared by Alex Jones and others, falsely claims to show millions of Venezuelans in Caracas celebrating Maduro's capture.

My cat is panting, after all the playing she’s been doing. She’s still chasing nothing, though. She’s exhausted but someone’s gotta nyoom around like an idiot ❤️
