From the Betsy Henderson campaign press release, we learn a little about what Beau the Dem was doing in 2020, when we were locked down here in the states. The pics below are used from the Betsy Henderson campaign email. Beau was marching in Venezuela supporting President Nicolás Maduro.”

Knox County mayor candidate Beau Hawk

marched in Venezuela for Nicolas Maduro

“Beau Hawk attended a 2020 rally in Venezuela supporting President Nicolás Maduro.”

“Under Maduro, Venezuela underwent a spectacular economic collapse characterized by hyperinflation and chronic food and medicine shortages. His rule became best known for allegedly rigged elections, food shortages and rights abuses, including harsh crackdowns on protests in 2014 and 2017.

“The United States unsealed federal indictments [the month of the rally] charging Maduro and 14 high-ranking Venezuelan officials with narco-terrorism, corruption and drug trafficking.”

Betsy Henderson, Republican nominee for mayor, responded:

“I was shocked to learn that just a few years ago my opponent marched in support of self-described Marxist and murderous dictator Nicolás Maduro in Venezuela.

It’s hard to believe that someone seeking office in Knox County would support such an evil government that has fueled the drug trade, violent criminal gangs, and human misery. It’s against everything we as Americans stand for.

If you want to know the difference between the two candidates for mayor, it’s simple: I know the difference between right and unspeakable wrong, and I will always stand on the side of freedom.”
