One of Venezuela’s most powerful leaders may have put out an order to kill Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, a fervent critic of the South American country’s government, according to intelligence obtained by the U.S. last month.
Though federal authorities couldn’t be sure at the time if the uncorroborated threat was real, they took it seriously enough that Rubio has been guarded by a security detail for several weeks in both Washington and Miami.
The death threat was outlined in a memo to several law enforcement agencies disseminated last month by the Department of Homeland Security. The memo, designated “law enforcement sensitive” but not classified, was obtained by the Miami Herald.
The memo revealed an “order to have Senator Rubio assassinated,” though it also warned that “no specific information regarding an assassination plot against Senator Rubio has been garnered thus far” and that the U.S. had not been able to verify the threat.
According to the memo, Cabello might have gone as far as to contact “unspecified Mexican nationals” in connection with his plan to harm Rubio.

Make it so.
The U.S as well as the rest of the world should butt out, let the people decide.

Who cares about Rubio? That sounds like a personal protection problem and not even news worthy. I doubt anything would come of this anyway. Venezuela really want to start problems, this would be the right way to get there quick. The country is garbage now and finding more ways of destroying it even more, not a good idea. But hey, the world is full of dumb leaders.

These must be some of the enlightened progressive tactics that have attracted so many Hollywood Elites and Left Wing Liberals to support Venezuela.

Rather than the globalist elitists agenda of opposing and disposing of a democratically elected socialist leader?

Thugs that strong arm their way to be leaders are more likely to be on a globalist agenda, it's cheaper and faster and they only have to pay off one guy.

Why not?
He wants to dispose of a democratically elected leader of a sovereign country. What makes Rubio so special?
