Submitted by Luke on Sat, 05/18/2019 - 20:12

On the 18th of May, two of the Embassy Protectors who were unlawfully dragged out of the Embassy of Venezuala on May 16 were back. Staying the court-ordered 100 feet away, they spoke as a march from the embassy to the White House halted there to hear them. Three coup attempts, two police raids on the embassy, and it is not even certain if Juan Guaido and false ambassador Vecchio have even gotten one building much less Venezuala.
