Senator Marco Rubio denied being behind the massive blackout in Venezuela, where President Nicolás Maduro vowed to defeat 'American imperialism' trying to overthrow him.
Senator Marco Rubio mocked the Venezuelan government's attempts to blame a sudden nationwide blackout on him and the United States, which has launched a pressure campaign to oust President Nicolás Maduro.
"Tonight the"Baghdad Bob" of #Caracas @jorgerpsuv revealed I caused the nationwide & ongoing electric power outage in #Venezuela. My apologies to people of Venezuela. I must have pressed the wrong thing on the"electronic attack" app I downloaded from Apple. My bad," Rubio wrote. Maduro has drawn comparisons between the current White House's efforts to get him to step down and former President George W. Bush's campaign to discredit Iraqi President Saddam Hussein. Charged by his detractors with corruption, human rights abuses and election fraud amid an unprecedented economic crisis, Maduro has accused Guaidó and other opposition figures of conspiring with foreign powers, such as the U.S.
