The man owning the twitter account below serves as a U.S. Representative from New York and had the following to say about the death of Hugo Chavez:
More from ABC on this loser:
Serrano, whose New York district covers part of the Bronx, also released a lengthy written statement praising Chavez and recounting an invited visit to his district in 2005.
“I met President Chavez in 2005 when he came to my district at my invitation,” Serrano wrote. “His focus on the issues faced by the poor and disenfranchised in his country made him a truly revolutionary leader in the history of Latin America. He understood that after 400 years on the outside of the established power structure looking in, it was time that the poor had a chance at seeing their problems and issues addressed. His core belief was in the dignity and common humanity of all people in Venezuela and in the world.”
Serrano recounted that Chavez offered discounted home heating oil to struggling residents in his district. He acknowledged that Chavez was a controversial figure, while noting that “it is important to remember that he was democratically-elected many times in elections that were declared free and fair by international monitors.”
What does this say about the electorate who voted for this guy?
