Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., praised President Donald Trump on Monday for ordering the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro.

“We did the right thing. President Trump did the right thing,” Tuberville said recently.

The senator noted that Trump had warned Maduro multiple times that he must leave office or face removal.

“Soon or later, people are going to start understanding what President Trump says, he means,” the senator added.

“We finally got a president that believes in law and order. Now the Democrats don’t believe in that,” Tuberville continued.

“They would rather have confusion, lawlessness all over the country,” he said.

Tuberville warned that Colombia and Cuba could be next targets of Trump’s actions.

“We need a safe hemisphere,” he stressed.

“President Trump is going to clean this mess up, and Democrats—just get out of the way and let a man do his job,” Tuberville added.

The Alabama senator stated that Venezuela’s acting president, Delcy Rodriguez, who currently serves as interim leader, cannot remain in charge.

“She’s as big a criminal as Maduro,” Tuberville said. “At the end of the day, President Trump knows it’s got to be cleaned up.”

“I don’t know how it’s going to happen, but he’ll make sure there’s a free and fair election, and let the people of Venezuela pick their president,” he added.
