Protestors filled the streets of Caracas, telling Maduro to leave.

"The Bolivarian National Guard of Venezuela defies Nicolás Maduro's orders to suppress the protesters, and joins them in their march toward Guarenas," tweeted George, who claims to be in Caracas. "Venezuelan military units are now greeting the protestors instead of stopping them. Nicolás Maduro is slowly losing the loyalty of his entire military. Socialism is dying."

"Nicolás Maduro's gestapo police have surrendered their weapons and handed them over to the protestors in Barcelona city. Venezuelan patriots have taken over control of the Simón Bolívar International Airport in Maiquetía. This fight to end Nicolás Maduro and his socialist regime will soon go down in history."

One by one, military units are siding with the protestors..

"The corrupt Maduro regime, empowered by the Biden-Harris Administration, has deprived the Venezuelan people of the chance to elect a government that represents them," tweeted Florida governor Ron Desantis.

"America should not be lining Maduro's pockets and propping up his communist dictatorship by buying oil from Venezuela. The crisis in Venezuela is the latest failure of the Biden-Harris foreign policy and green new deal agenda."
