@ConservativeH2O said:

"Venezualens everywhere are overjoyed. In Western nations Democrats, Liberals, Labour, etc. are crying another socialist got what he earned.

"Now, the challenge is not having the Democratic Party federal judge that got the case order Maduro and wife's release."

@JohnQuiggII said:

"She’s wise enough to know there are many people in the regime left and to tell everyone not to talk about politics. God bless her."

@moses_defi said:

"Whether you love or hate Trump, that kind of raw emotion doesn’t come from nowhere. When someone says their childhood was taken by a regime, you don’t get to dismiss that from the comfort of the outside."

@TaraServatius said:

"Do not be surprised when a Democrat judge sets Maduro free on bond on US soil ... or worse, orders Trump to send him home."

@Thompsonklay said:

"This is what communist regimes do to people and this is what the left is pushing for."

@Stellaaa said:

"It’s impossible to listen to this without crying. Thank God almighty this is HISTORIC and so many people not yet understanding the geopolitical implications."

@bachitime said:

"Many will gladly leave voluntarily. My son lived in Medellín, Colombia, and his cook and nanny were from Venezuela. They told me their extremely sad stories of escaping imprisonment as political prisoners so the government could seize their business."

US captures Maduro: Venezuelan woman reacts

In a Facebook post on Saturday, January 3, she shared the last picture she took before heading to the US, noting that she left with the hope that Maduro's regime would have fallen within months and she would then return home, but that didn't happen.
