It seems pretty safe to say at this point that Ben Rhodes is not a good person. But just in case you needed further proof, his take on John Bolton affirming that the U.S. recognizes Juan Guaidó as Venezuela’s president should suffice:

Bolton: "This is clearly not a coup" since U.S. recognizes Guaido — Zeke Miller (@ZekeJMiller) April 30, 2019

Having Elliot Abrams and John Bolton as the face of a regime change policy in Latin America is not going to serve us or the Venezuelan people well. https://t.co/imHyamnKiN — Ben Rhodes (@brhodes) April 30, 2019

And what, pray tell, would Ben Rhodes know about serving us or the Venezuelan people — or any victims of an oppressive regime — well?

You do not have a lot of room to talk, Mr. Rhodes. — StCharlesGary (@gary_stcharles) April 30, 2019

I repeatedly pleaded with your Administration to introduce a UN resolution condemning Venezuela's abuses, and you refused. https://t.co/JOXTwMHmSV — Hillel Neuer (@HillelNeuer) April 30, 2019

Yeah, they should be sending pallets of cash! That's how you handle dictators. — Scully ?? (@dhighway61) April 30, 2019

Seriously, Mr. Rhodes? After the way the Obama administration and you handled Venezuela, back when you could have made a difference, but chose not to, you should just hang your head in shame. And say nothing more. — vicki fairman (@vafairman) April 30, 2019

Always on the side of tyranny. https://t.co/MoIE1Egctt — David Harsanyi (@davidharsanyi) April 30, 2019

Always.

It's not just US that recognizes Guaido. I get tired of repeating this, but: this all came *after* OAS, specifically Almagro, led the way on it. Sorry to be a broken record but y'all reeeaalllly need to *read up* on how this happened https://t.co/I1s2JV7vaw https://t.co/YQw8TDLZ7W — Seth Mandel (@SethAMandel) April 30, 2019

I promise you it would not kill you to familiarize yourself with what actually happened, and is happening, before pushing RT propaganda about an American coup. This knowledge will enable you to not be stupid and it's worth not being stupid. Being Ben Rhodes *is a choice* folks. — Seth Mandel (@SethAMandel) April 30, 2019

Don’t be Ben Rhodes.
