“Daily Show” correspondent Ronny Chieng on Tuesday mocked House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) for attempting to downplay the Trump administration’s deadly military raid in Venezuela last weekend.
Chieng said Johnson was trying to ease the minds of Americans concerned with the U.S. pursuing regime change after the operation to seize Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, by force in the middle of the night. After all, Trump campaigned on stopping the U.S. from overseeing “reckless” regime changes.
“This is not a regime change. This is a demand for change of behavior by a regime,” Johnson told reporters on Monday.
Chieng teased Johnson for trying to rebrand a regime change to a “changed regime.”
“Thank you, stupid Yoda!” he quipped. “Stupid Yoda says, ‘Do or do not, there is no Epstein files.’”
Chieng proceeded to knock the administration for overthrowing a foreign government at gunpoint with no plan. He specifically highlighted Rep. Jimmy Patronis (R-Fla.), who dismissed critics of the operation.
“Sometimes, when you break a few eggs, we got to learn how to make some omelets and this is exactly what we’re going to do,” Patronis told NewsNation.
“We break a few eggs, then learn how to make some omelets? This guy fucked up the metaphor so badly that he accidentally got it right,” Chieng joked.
