María Corina Machado of Venezuela Is Awarded the Nobel Peace Prize

Jonathon Wolfe (NYT):

"The Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado, who built a powerful social movement challenging the country’s authoritarian president and has been living in hiding since last year, was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize on Friday. The Norwegian Nobel Committee praised “her tireless work promoting democratic rights for the people of Venezuela and for her struggle to achieve a just and peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy.”

Andy Borowitz:

"OSLO, NORWAY (The Borowitz Report)—After promising on Truth Social that the gathering would be “wild,” on Friday Donald J. Trump summoned angry supporters to a rally outside the headquarters of the Norwegian Nobel Committee.

Urging his irate loyalists to “stop the steal,” Trump declared, “If you want to win the Nobel Peace Prize, you’ve got to fight like hell.”

In a brief public statement, the Norwegian Nobel Committee said, “What a fucking baby.”"

    Machado is a right-winger, and a fan of Dump. Maybe the committee is signaling they're not discriminating against the political right when they laugh off the idea of his Dumpness's deserving the peace Nobel.

    But she accepted the award on Trump’s behalf, so he said.
