Actor and singer Carlos Baute calls Venezuelan President Delcy Rodríguez a “monkey.” It was at a rally in support of Maria Corina Machado in Madrid. He later apologized, as campaign pundits on the right faced the fact that this would harm Machado’s false claim that he represented the majority of Venezuelans. But the way he shouts “monkey” shows Baute’s true colors.
It’s not just Baute. Machado’s followers chanted “MONEY GET OUT” in unison. This is déjà vu. Venezuela’s opposition to Chávez spoke the same language and, even worse, in the first years of Chávez’s rule, clearly demonstrating their class and ethnic origins. Then the American public relations advisor told them to stop doing it, knowing full well that you can’t use that kind of language and expect to win an election at the same time. History repeats itself. And it never hides the truth.
