In a recent VladTV interview, comedian and political commentator DL Hughley criticized former President Donald Trump’s dramatic arrest of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, calling it a distraction from more pressing issues. Hughley highlighted the hypocrisy in Trump’s foreign policy, pointing out that while Trump pardoned Honduran ex-president Juan Orlando Hernández—convicted of drug trafficking—he simultaneously had Maduro detained on dubious drug charges. Hughley argued that the move is a self-serving "imperialist" act meant to divert public attention from the controversy surrounding the Epstein list and allegations against Trump himself. Comparing the situation to past U.S. interventions, such as the Iraq and Panama invasions, Hughley stressed that the current arrest lacks proper Congressional or international backing, undermining its legitimacy. He also expressed skepticism over the drug trafficking charges against Maduro, noting how the case appears to be falling apart. Hughley concluded that these tactics endanger vulnerable populations while serving political theater rather than justice.
