Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry published an op-ed on Breitbart, praising President Donald Trump's move to capture and prosecute Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, who appeared in court for arraignment Monday, January 5th, where he entered a 'not guilty' plea to narco-terrorism charges.
"Since 2015, over 800,000 Americans have died from opioid overdoses. The vast majority of those cases are from fentanyl, a drug that makes its way into the United States through various drug cartels," Landry writes.
Landry shares that his preferred outcome would be to see Maduro executed.
"However, I would be well satisfied to see him and his wife spend the rest of their days at Camp 57 in Angola," he goes on to say, referencing a new detention center in the Louisiana State Penitentiary used to hold the 'worst of the worst' of those arrested by ICE.
Landry's opinion piece goes on to speculate how the unfolding regime change may cause hemispheric shifts that could benefit the state he governs.
"A successful reboot of Venezuela will have a tremendous impact on the Louisiana economy," Landry writes. "Our ports will be key logistics bases for the rejuvenation of the Venezuelan oil and gas industry. Our oil and gas companies will see tremendous opportunities in this process. More importantly, our people will find high-paying jobs in support of this effort. In so many instances, the America First agenda falls right in line with our Louisiana First agenda."
