Colombia Election Shows ‘Trump Effect’ As Latin America Turns Right

Colombia's right-wing presidential candidate, who was endorsed by President Donald Trump, snatched victory from his left-wing opponent in a run-off vote on Sunday, further cementing Latin America's shuffle toward the political right under the U.S.' watchful eye.

Abelardo de la Espriella, a millionaire lawyer and previous political outsider who pledged to crack down on organized crime and bring Bogotá closer to Washington, won just over 49.6 percent of the vote in the preliminary count to narrowly beat left-leaning senator Iván Cepeda's 48.7 percent share, according to national media. ...

Trump had branded Cepeda, the candidate backed by current president Gustavo Petro, a "Radical Left Marxist." Petro and Trump repeatedly sparred in social media posts, including over the U.S.' controversial strike campaign on alleged drug boats in the Caribbean and eastern Pacific. ...

Typical of the left, they blame Israel for the loss. Clearly, Israel's #1 priority right now is Colombia.  :laugh:

NEW: Colombian President Gustavo Petro, after losing the election, is now claiming the voting software was hacked and that Israel was the only country capable of carrying it out.

Live in  harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.

Romans 12:16-18

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-

Jim Jones was a socialist Democrat.
