Kat Timpf posted a clip from Fox News’ Gutfeld! where she questioned the recent intervention in Venezuela. Balking at the daring raid, she questioned how capturing the leader of a sovereign nation, bombing a country, and taking control isn’t “war,” but cocaine trafficking is.
On social media, users slammed the alleged conservative for betraying the Trump administration. One commenter criticized her, claiming Maduro was illegitimate and she needed better research. Timpf defended her stance, refusing to apologize.
In her initial post to social media, which featured a clip from a recent appearance on the Fox News show Gutfield!, Kat Timpf quoted herself as saying, “Let me get this straight: We go to a country, we capture their leader, we bomb it, & then we say we run this country now — and that’s not war. But when they send cocaine over here, that people are willingly snorting — that is war. That doesn’t make any sense.”
However, in the comments, one conservative got into an argument with the host. “Thinking your extensions are pulling against your grey matter. Maduro was not the leader. You never again need to worry about rent or car payments, due to the gift God gave you, and that is a great thing. Use your platform wisely however, do your homework,” he responded.
Firing back, Timpf declared, “If he wasn’t the leader, why did he need to be taken out? I take my platform extremely seriously, which is exactly why I will never pretend to believe something I don’t believe just because people will say mean things to me about it.”
Still not done, the commentator retorted, “He needed to be removed precisely because he was illegitimate. Many of us reading/hearing KT posts tonite, are baffled. We support the Timpf brand, but somehow you are on the wrong side of history at the moment.”
Concluding her comments, Timpf stated, “I don’t think I am. I hope I am! But I sadly don’t think so. Wrapping up the interaction, the user stated, “Monitor the reaction of the Venezuelan citizens in the days to come. That is the real solution to the disagreement. That goes for me as well.”

Another response, from a different user, said, “It really isn’t ‘war’ though… Or, if it is, well, then it’s one of the best changes in recent years. I mean, ‘wars’ are now being fought in this way? What a blessing. No more mass suffering of civilians.”
Another negative comment noted, “Oh man, you’re not at all on the right side of this issue. Extremely disappointing. 😒” Bringing history into the converstaion, one response read, “Kat, it’s easier for me to recall this because I was alive: Panama. We took their leader and arrested him. We essentially changed that regime. The country was better off as a result,” adding, “This (Maduro) has much more in common with the Panama invasion than Iraq or Afghanistan.”
