Here we go.
Senator Lindsey Graham on Sunday issued an ominous warning to Venezuela’s Maduro.
Lindsey Graham appeared on CBS’s “Face the Nation” and told host Margaret Brennan that he doesn’t believe Maduro will stay around much longer.
Margaret Brennan asked Lindsey Graham about the US potentially expanding military operations inside Venezuela after the Pentagon ordered the deployment of USS Gerald Ford to the Caribbean Sea to “combat drug trafficking.”
“It’s time for Maduro to go. I hope Maduro would leave peacefully, but I don’t think he’s going to stay around much longer,” Lindsey Graham casually said.
“The game is changing when it comes to drug traffickers and drug cartels. We’re going to use military force like we have in the past to protect our country,” Lindsey Graham said.
Lindsey Graham then warned Maduro to get out or else.
“And if I were Maduro, I’d find a way to leave before heat goes down,” he said.

Last Friday President Trump dropped an ‘F bomb’ on Maduro.
During a bilateral lunch with Ukraine’s Zelensky, President Trump zinged Venezuela’s Maduro as he took questions from reporters.
According to reports, Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro has offered the US ‘everything’ after the US military blew up drug smuggling vessels.
The US military struck a narco-terrorist vessel in the Caribbean Sea last Thursday and seized at least two survivors.
“Maduro offered everything in his country – his natural resources. He even recorded a message to you in English recently offering mediation…” a reporter said.
“He’s offered everything. You’re right. You know why? Because he doesn’t want to f*ck around with the United States,” Trump said.
Maduro accused President Trump of ‘fabricating a war’ after the Pentagon sent USS Gerald Ford to the Caribbean.
