Washington — The House of Representatives voiced near-unanimous condemnation of Venezuela's government and its "inexcusable" deadly crackdown on opposition leaders and protesters.
The chamber passed a resolution blasting President Nicolas Maduro's forces for their oppressive tactics in some of the most serious South American unrest in years.
------------------
The House measure passed 393 votes to one, with Republican Thomas Massie as the lone dissenter.
---------------------------
US lawmakers have also urged President Barack Obama to impose sanctions on those responsible for the crackdown.

Looks like chavistas have but one friend in Congress.
