CodePink's Medea Benjamin Disrupts Venezuelan Opposition Event in D.C.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, in Washington, D.C., Medea Benjamin, the co-founder of the
peace group Code Pink, disrupted an event in Washington, D.C., where
Guaidó's envoy to the United States spoke.

Medea Benjamin: "Excuse me. Just as you are trying to take over the
Venezuelan government, I want to say these people are a fraud. They
don't represent the Venezuelan people. They are representing the
U.S.-orchestrated coup. This is a very dangerous situation. They want to
create a crisis at the border that would be a justification for U.S.
intervention. This has nothing to do with a humanitarian situation."
