Hollywood’s liberal elite is expressing outrage and demanding President Donald Trump’s impeachment over the daring U.S. military operation to capture Venezuelan socialist dictator Nicolás Maduro over the weekend.
In a stunning move, Trump announced on Saturday morning that U.S. forces had successfully apprehended Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, in an overnight mission in Venezuela’s capital.
Maduro was brought to New York, where he was charged with multiple serious crimes.
The operation, directly ordered by the president, has ignited a firestorm of criticism from anti-Trump celebrities.
Many have taken to social media to decry the action as unconstitutional and demand Trump’s impeachment.
During his national address, Trump laid out the specifics of the mission, emphasizing the strategic importance of capturing Maduro and Flores.
U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi followed up with a statement, revealing that the couple faces serious charges, including narco-terrorism conspiracy and cocaine importation conspiracy, alongside possession of machine guns and destructive devices aimed against the United States.
While the administration frames this as a win for national security, the backlash from Tinseltown has been swift and, frankly, predictable.
Wealthy Hollywood celebrities have been taking to social media to complain about Trump’s effort to liberate Venezuela, Breitbart reported.
Actor John Cryer, known for “Two and a Half Men,” didn’t mince words on Bluesky, bluntly stating, “Impeachment now.”
While Cryer’s quip might play well with the progressive crowd, it sidesteps the gravity of the charges against Maduro.
Similarly, actress Mia Farrow jumped into the fray on the same platform, alleging Trump’s motives are tied to Venezuela’s oil wealth and urging, “Impeach this evil guy.”
Farrow isn’t alone in spinning the oil narrative; actors like Mark Ruffalo, alongside Stephen King and Wendell Pierce, have echoed the theory that this operation is a greedy grab for resources.
Ruffalo even went as far as comparing Trump to historical tyrants, a tired trope that often drowns out any chance of reasoned debate on policy merits.
Then there’s comedian Rob Delaney, of “Deadpool” fame, who speculated about Trump plotting to build an illegal alien detention network in Venezuela, a claim as unsubstantiated as it is dramatic.
Star Trek’s George Takei chimed in with a civics lesson, reminding followers that only Congress can declare war on another nation, implying Trump overstepped his authority.
While constitutional questions deserve scrutiny, the selective outrage from Hollywood often feels more like a script than a genuine concern for checks and balances, especially when the target is a leader like Maduro with a rap sheet longer than a summer blockbuster.
Even Ellen Barkin, of “Pulp Fiction” renown, couldn’t resist piling on, accusing Trump of illegally seizing control of a foreign nation while mocking his delivery during public remarks, a jab that’s more about style than substance.
Of course, the anti-Trump critics overlooked the jubilant response from the people of Venezuela, who have suffered under the socialist dictatorship for years.
The Venezuelan people, including the millions around the world who have fled the nation, have been flooding the streets in celebration.
As Slay News reported, many Venezuelans have been waving American flags and praising Trump for finally freeing them from Maduro’s regime.
Yet, the joyous scenes were conveniently ignored by liberal celebrities and their corporate media allies.
