Fox News Guest Slammed After Gushing That 'No One Died' During Venezuela Attack

A Fox News guest got a brutal reality check yesterday after claiming that "no one died" during President Donald Trump's invasion of Venezuela, taking into account only American forces that participated in the attack and subsequent overthrow of dictator Nicolás Maduro.

As footage of Maduro in custody in New York was shown on the broadcast, the guest said:

"This is pretty extraordinary that we watched this go down and no one died. It's really quite something to say about our military."

You could hear what they said in the video below.

They couldn't be more off if they tried.

Venezuelan Defense Minister Vladimir Padrino López said U.S. combat helicopters fired rockets and missiles in urban areas, adding that authorities were still assessing the number of casualties. As of January 6, no official death or injury toll had been released.

Casualty figures varied widely. The New York Times reported, citing Venezuelan officials, that at least 40 people were killed, a figure later revised to 80.

Trump told the New York Post that Cuban forces were involved and said Cuban personnel had died during the operation, a claim supported by Cuba’s government, which said 32 of its military and intelligence members were killed.

Independent Venezuelan journalists reported at least 25 confirmed deaths, mostly among the presidential guard, with two civilian casualties and several additional deaths unconfirmed.

On January 6, Venezuela’s military published the names of 24 soldiers killed in the attack, while Prosecutor Tarek William Saab said dozens of civilians and military personnel had died and that the total toll remained under investigation.

They were swiftly called out—and Fox was criticized for airing the segment.

In the meantime, Trump continues to brag about his "amazing military achievement" in Venezuela.

At one point, speaking to Republican lawmakers, he boasted that 152 planes took part in the operation and that no Americans were killed. He said the U.S. "proved once again that we have the most powerful, most lethal, most sophisticated, and most fearsome" military on the planet.

“It's a fearsome military on planet Earth, and it's not even close," he said, adding that "Nobody can take us.”
