Ronny Chieng mocked the House speaker for his attempt to ease Americans' minds about the deadly U.S. raid in Venezuela.
“Daily Show” correspondent Ronny Chieng on Tuesday mocked House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) for attempting to downplay the Trump administration’s deadly military raid in Venezuela last weekend.
Chieng said Johnson was trying to ease the minds of Americans concerned with the U.S. pursuing regime change after the operation to seize Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, by force in the middle of the night. After all, Trump campaigned on stopping the U.S. from overseeing “reckless” regime changes.
“This is not a regime change. This is a demand for change of behavior by a regime,” Johnson told reporters on Monday.
Chieng teased Johnson for trying to rebrand a regime change to a “changed regime.”
