Trump captured Maduro to legalize gay marriage in Venezuela, claims Tucker Carlson: 'Whole project was Globo Homo'

MAGA commentator Tucker Carlson claimed that one possible reason President Donald Trump ordered the capture of Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro was to legalise gay marriage in the country.Speaking on his show, the right-wing podcaster said that Maduro did not allow homosexual marriages in Venezuela and that might have led the US to attack it, “It's possible we're mad that he [Maduro] doesn’t allow gay marriage. That is a distinct possibility. But no one will say that out loud.”

Carlson described Venezuela as one of the most conservative countries in the Americas, and the fact that it has also banned pornography, abortion, gay marriage, sex changes, and usury. He added that the US-backed opposition leader who would replace Maduro is “pretty eager to get gay marriage in Venezuela.”


“So those of you who thought this whole project was globo homo—not crazy, actually,” Carlson said, referring to suggestions that pro-gay forces were behind Maduro’s removal. Carlson also cited opposition leader María Corina Machado, who is pro-gay marriage, as one of the reasons.

Right-wing influencer Ben Shapiro responded to Carlson’s comments and said that his claims are not true and US took action to safeguard its national security. “Well, I suppose the administration may have to explain to people like Tucker Carlson that in fact it was not ‘globo homo’ that ousted Nicolás Maduro, it was a conservative Republican president. A gutsy president who makes the calls to preserve America’s national security and her foreign interests.”Indian-origin MAGA ally Dinesh D'Souza also weighed in on Carlson's comments. In a post on X, he said: "The oldest living Groyper says it’s a “distinct possibility” that Trump captured Maduro because of Maduro’s opposition to gay marriage. Wow! He also says Maduro is a genuine social conservative, and that the US action is aimed at introducing gay marriage to Venezuela!"
