Rubio comes out in support of Bolivia’s Rodrigo Paz.
The narco-socialists are fighting back in Bolivia.
The Donald J. Trump administration’s work to secure the Western Hemisphere is an important aspect, and it includes organizing the growing number of right-wing Latin American leaders.

The Trump warning about leaders being in danger was justified.
One of the heads of state involved in this work is Bolivia’s Rodrigo Paz – and he is now under subversive attack, both by gangs devoted to former president Evo Morales who is trying to evade prosecution for allegedly raping an underage girl, and by Colombian narco-militias.
The broad coalition of miners, teachers, transport workers, farmers, indigenous groups, and supporters of former President Evo Morales has mobilized against President Rodrigo Paz, and what began with strikes over wage hikes, fuel subsidy cuts, and proposed reforms quickly escalated into nationwide unrest, with demonstrators blocking major highways and isolating the administrative capital, La Paz.
This led to a reaction from the US government, first through U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau, and now by Secretary of State Maxro Rubio.
Let there be no mistake: the United States stands squarely in support of Bolivia’s legitimate constitutional government.
We will not allow criminals and drug traffickers to overthrow democratically elected leaders in our hemisphere.

Like Jim Hoft reported here on TGP earlier, Erik Prince, the creator of the private military company Blackwater (and one of the world’s most lethal operators) issued a warning about Colombian armed groups infiltrating Bolivia under the command of Gustavo Petro:
Heads up all those who respect rule of law!
Act immediately to prevent the violent takeover of the Government of Bolivia by an international cartel of narco communist terrorists financed and directed by the leader of coca growers in Bolivia, Evo Morales.

“Heads up all those who respect rule of law!
Act immediately to prevent the violent takeover of the Government of Bolivia by an international cartel of narco communist terrorists financed and directed by the leader of coca growers in Bolivia, Evo Morales.
Morales stole hundreds of millions of dollars while he was President of Bolivia.
He is a cocaine trafficker currently on trial for sexual assault of a minor.
Armed narcotics gangs and terrorists from Colombia, Chile, Cuba, and other countries have entered Bolivia, joining Morales’ own Bolivian militia of terrorists, and are taking over government buildings and even an airfield built by the US Drug Enforcement Administration, Morales’ nemesis.
They are attempting to surround and take the Presidential Palace in the capital city of La Paz, where the constitutional President and his Cabinet are working to protect the country.
The objective of these terrorists is to overthrow the democratically-elected government of President Rodrigo Paz.
Paz has been in office mere months and is trying to clean his country of organized crime gangs, many responding to Morales, that have caused harm, violence, and economic hardship in Bolivia.
Please United States to take the lead in repelling the international criminal invasion of Bolivia and to restore order and constitutional rule. Bolivia had a real election. Rodrigo Paz won, don’t let the narcos overthrow him.”
