Congressman Salud Carbajal condemns Trump’s Venezuela raid

January 5, 2026

Congressman Salud Carbajal

OPINION by CONGRESSMAN SALUD CARBAJAL

The Trump administration’s decision to attack Venezuela was a reckless and deeply destabilizing action. Launching unilateral military strikes and seizing Maduro without a clear plan for what comes next risks creating a dangerous power vacuum — one that could plunge the entire region into chaos and endanger countless lives.

Today’s military action undermines the United State’s global standing and weakens the international rules-based order our country helped build decades ago. Maduro is an illegitimate leader, but these actions risk pulling our nation into yet another open-ended conflict at a time when the American people are demanding an end to forever wars abroad.

At the same time, these actions do nothing to put the interests of the American people first and fail to address our current cost-of-living crisis.

The Trump administration must immediately brief Congress on today’s strikes and its plans for the region. I also call on Speaker Johnson and other congressional Republican leaders to reassert Congress’s oversight and war-making authority. The American people deserve answers immediately.

We get Venezuela oil and cocaine, Putin gets Chernobyl, Xi gets Taiwan and all the microchips. Late Christmas. Everybody’s happy except the Venezulus, the Zelensky, and NVIDIA.

Now what do we do about Bjorkland and Persia?


Carbajal: Complete douche.


Salud is a good ;loyal democrat. He says what the national committee tells him to say, comrade


Everyone settle down. Carbajal has no choice but to fall in line. If he came out in support of Maduro’s capture, the knives would come out for him and he’d be primaried if not removed prior. He might even get a sexual harassment or fraud charge tossed his way. If Trump did nothing to Maduro, the Ds and Carbajal would work that into their anti-Trump narrative too. If Biden had captured Maduro, Carbajal would praise the action, regardless if it was a success or not. Politicians are all mere actors and playing a role. It’s all an illusion.


Come on, you magats guys know its true.


Salud Carbajal- The Enemy Within..


I would love to know just exactly what this man has done for the people , but shoot off his ridiculous mouth! Oh, and live off our hard earned money while doing nothing! He should be in jail!


He is as low-IQ as they come AND he is an ILLEGAL INVADER.


Truth of the matter is in the pipeline.

Salud. You would have been in a race with your fellow dems to see who could leak the raid first. Don’t even try to convince anyone that you wouldn’t. You would do anything, anything to see a Trump failure. While I know that hypocrisy is long lost on your ilk, the fact that you were all crowing about Maduro and his illegitimacy as little as a few months ago, and are now crowing at his removal, is such transparent TDS that pretty much anything you say is colored by your ridiculous party line. Thank the stars that UCSB is in your district. Without them you wouldn’t even have a stool from which to spew your nonsense.


If Trump and his administration found a cure for cancer Salud Carbajal and the rest of the democrat party would say let cancer patients die due to their hatred of Trump. Carbajal has been an absolutely awful representative for this area and doesn’t care about the people he represents. I know from first hand experience of trying to work with his office to recieve medical care as a veteran and the difficulty and lack of resources for that care in this area that Carbajal represents.


Trump should advise the nation NOT to drink Draino. These Democrat lemmings will clear the shelves of that product and finally rid the world of their insanity.


Thats for magats.


Wishing for half the country to die shows your TDS syndrome prevents you from having an intelligent, adult conversation.


great idea


“Curing cancer is Racist!” (As long as Trump cures it). Remember the Wuhan vaccine under Trump, and how the D’s vowed not to take it? Well, once Brandon took credit for it, they all flocked to get pricked many times over.
