More from The Western Journal:
Reminder: Venezuela — which has the world’s largest oil reserves — was once a wealthy country.
As recently as 2001, it was the richest country in South America, but it has since cratered into poverty under socialist dictators.
AOC thinks giving out more free stuff and blaming the United States for all the problems in the world is a solution to Biden’s border apocalypse.
