Jesse Watters challenges
Rep. Omar: 'Please say one
good thing about America'
By Victor Garcia | Fox News
Fox News' Jesse Watters took on Rep. Ilhan Omar,
D-Minn ., over her criticism of the U.S. government's
role during the ongoing push for regime change
in Venezuela.
"I would issue a challenge to her. Omar, please say
one good thing about America," Watters said on
" The Five" on Thursday.
VENEZUELAN OPPOSITION LEADER JUAN GUAIDO'S
CALL FOR MILITARY UPRISING DRAWS REACTIONS
FROM US, WORLD LEADERS
"We hear her so much saying what's wrong with
America. Just say what you're proud of. I think that
would counterbalance some of the negativity that
you hear coming out of her mouth."
Omar faced a wave of criticism after she argued
that President Trump's administration made the
Venezuelan crisis worse through "bullying" and
applying sanctions to the nation.
“A lot of the policies that we have put in place has
kind of helped lead the devastation in Venezuela
and we have sort of set the stage for where we are
arriving today,” Omar told PBS' "Democracy Now!"
Russia and Cuba attempted to exert influence over
the potential transfer of power from disputed
Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro to opposition
leader Juan Guaido.
Watters challenged Omar's accusation that the U.S.
is "bullying" people in Venezuela and criticized
socialism.
"America is not bullying the people of Venezuela. It
is Maduro and the Russian-backed military that are
taking away people's rights and shooting into the
crowd and doing all those things. Also, this is what
socialists do. When something good happens in the
world, what they do is they say why can't America
be like that country? And then when something bad
happens in the world, they say that's America's fault
that that's happening. They can never see the point
that socialism is failing on its own."

In his appeal to Omar, Watters also asked the
congresswoman to stop siding with Russia: "At this
point I want her to do this. Stop siding with the
Russians. You say you want to start World War III
over Russian interference with the election; now they
are interfering physically in our hemisphere and
you're siding with them," Watters said.
