Kat Timpf, Monday on FNC’s “Gutfeld,” questioned the reasoning behind recent U.S. action in Venezuela:
KAT TIMPF, FOX NEWS: You have to see how some people might be feeling a little bit of whiplash here, given that Trump spent ten years railing against U.S.-led regime change war. His own director of intelligence, as recently as two months ago, was railing against regime change war. And then he does one.
GREG GUTFELD: So is this a regime change? The regime is still there, as far as I know. The vice president—
KAT TIMPF: Let me get this straight. We go to a country, we capture their leader, we bomb it, and then we say we run this country now, and that’s ‘not war.’ But when they send cocaine over here that people are willingly snorting, that ‘is war?’
I think that doesn’t make any sense.
GREG GUTFELD: It does to me in the sense that if this guy is committing crimes against the United States, you lawfully go and get him. He gets his due process here. The regime is still the same. The VP is there. He wasn’t elected, remember? He wasn’t elected legitimately. So he was never considered the leader of Venezuela by anybody except himself.
So I think, you know, difference of opinion, but he wasn’t considered a legitimate leader. He had committed crimes against the country. He’s going to get his due process. He may be found not guilty. Who knows?
KAT TIMPF: We went in, took him, bombed the country, and said we’re in control of it. That’s regime-change war. That is— that’s like a guy being like, “Hey, I did bang all these other girls behind your back, but I didn’t cheat.” You can call it whatever you want, but it is what it is.
Having concerns about this is very understandable. A lot of people feel skeptical that this isn’t going to be the one that’s different than all the other ones.
For me personally, I’m not so confident that this is the one regime change that’s finally going to work the way we say it’s going to work. I would not willingly go die for it. I would not willingly send my son to go die for it. So I think it would be hypocritical of me to call for other people to have to send theirs.
