In a bizarre twist of events straight out of a political thriller, Nicolás Maduro showed up in a U.S. courtroom flanked by his loyal wife, Cilia Flores, who bore visible injuries sparking questions about their origins. The Venezuelan dictator, escorted by heavy security like some kind of rock star fugitive, couldn’t resist grandstanding even under American jurisdiction. Instead of simply stating his name, as one does in civilized society, Maduro regaled the court with a theatrical monologue about being a “prisoner of war.” Because clearly, delusion knows no bounds when you’re used to the left coddling your regime.
But here’s where it gets even more surreal. His wife, bandaged and bruised, stood by his side, echoing his fantasies, calling herself the first lady of a nonexistent republic. It’s almost as if they’re auditioning for a new telenovela—except this isn’t fiction, these are the same charlatans who have inflicted unimaginable suffering on the Venezuelan people, decimating what was once a prosperous nation.
NEW: The wife of Nicolás Maduro had "significant injuries" in court, including on her temple and on her forehead.
Maduro reportedly spoke at one point and declared himself still the president of Venezuela.
Here is exactly what happened in court, according to CNN:

Though predictable, Maduro’s antics in court drew attention away from the battered face of Flores, raising suspicions about her health or perhaps trying to elicit sympathy. Her lawyer mentioned the bandages, and yet wrapped them in lawyer-speak, avoiding the glaring elephant in the room. What really happened? Liberal media could be expected to gloss over such crucial details that don’t fit their narrative.
Both clung to titles and innocence, denying allegations with all the conviction of seasoned actors playing their part. But while Maduro and Flores may plead not guilty in court, they stand guilty in the court of public opinion. For Maduro, rebranding himself as a “man of God” is a curious choice when his reign was marked by poverty and oppression. Funny how these supposedly ‘divinely-appointed’ leaders always seem down on their luck when they’re finally held accountable.
Here’s a thought—how about holding globalist interests accountable for enabling such incompetence? The time spent indulging tyrants could be better used to focus on policies that support democracy and freedom. As the curtain closes on this courtroom drama, one can’t help but muse: Will justice finally be served, or will liberal apologists continue to call Maduro a misunderstood victim?
