"And now, you leftist supporters of your little murderous Socialist dictator MAD-uro, can tell us why the average citizen of Venezuela has lost more than 20 pounds and why more than 3 million Venezuelans have fled the Socialist Worker's Paradise."

It's been a couple of weeks now, but the left has finally come together with a "narrative" to explain why socialist Venezuela is so miserable.

In a word: Gringos. Gringo did it.

The U.S. sanctions on Venezuela and its corrupt socialist dictatorship are now the root-and-branch cause of why there's no food in the stores in the country, the water runs black, the hospital patients are dying, the power is unreliable, the people are reduced to drinking from sewers and eating zoo animals, hyperinflation is out of control, criminals are proliferating, and any claims to democracy in the socialist paradise are an absolute joke.
