CARACAS (Reuters) - Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro on Wednesday called U.S. Vice President Mike Pence a “viper” and vowed to defeat what he called Washington’s attempts to force him from power.

Pence, who arrived in Ecuador on Wednesday as part of a tour of South America, is seeking to boost regional pressure on Venezuela following Maduro’s reelection in May in a vote that the United States said was fraudulent.

“Every time the poisonous viper Mike Pence opens his mouth, I feel stronger,” the socialist leader said in a televised speech. “We have defeated you and we are going to defeat (you) wherever you are.”

Maduro insists that the United States is seeking to overthrow his government in order to seize the OPEC nation’s oil and mineral wealth, and accuses Washington of leading an “economic war” against the country.

U.S. President Donald Trump has imposed economic sanctions on Maduro and members of his cabinet on accusations they are undermining democracy and violating human rights.

1. Yeah..

We've completely lost all credibility on the human rights angle.

[workinclasszero]

4. So Trump kidnapped babies, locks them up in dog kennels

Then has the gall to accuse someone else of human rights abuse??

6. Its friday

in the land of Oz. SOOO much work put into this country to be number one. SOOOO many dead young men and women in uniform died to make it so, and civilians. None of it means anything to these carnival barkers, but, they will lecture us about our patriotism and dedication to god etc.

2. First (and only) time I agree with Maduro...

[Amishman]

3. Stalin insulting Hitler

Both are absolutely appalling people who shouldn't be in charge of a bake sale, let alone a country

[peekaloo]

5. Two little Hitlers will fight it out until

one little Hitler does the other one's will.

7. There is much that has been going on in Venezuela that the American media has been selectively

reporting on. I hope we have gathered enough to know that the US is constantly meddling in other country's politics and economies.

8. Proving once again that even a broken clock is right

twice a day.

9. 'undermining democracy and violating human rights,'

Were I Madura, that's the line I'd use. That Pence could use those words is laughable.

10. That's an insult to

poisonous vipers who serve a valuable function in the balance of nature. Pence is a turd that wasn't flushed down a toilet.
