How could he fall to the mainstream media lies about Venezuela? Doesn't he understand that their situation was caused by super-secret CIA operations that crippled the economy?

He starts to say something factual and pessimistic about how Maduro's running the "Revolution" to the ground, and they automatically assume he sold out or something. It's sad, really. They're just as intolerant to unfavorable opinions of the regimes they support as Teapublicans.
