Florida Republicans were quick to pile on the Biden administration over talks with Venezuelan leader Nicol s Maduro to potentially ease sanctions on Venezuelan oil exports. Top Democrats in the state also jumped into the fray. "If America was down to its last barrel and Venezuela was giving oil away for free, we still shouldn't go to the Maduro regime for help," said Democratic state Sen. Annette Taddeo in a statement.

Brian Moore: Oppose this false notion of American exceptionalism

Q: Do you support American Exceptionalism?

A: Strongly oppose this false notion of American exceptionalism.ÿ It is based on a capitalist system of the profit motive, greed, and a continuing expansion of profits despite its destructive impact on the quality of life and well-being of its natural resources and of its citizens.ÿ We need to be exceptional in fostering democracy, communal participation, and a more equitable distribution of resources and wealth to all its inhabitants.

Nikki Fried: I am supporting the American-Israeli relationship

In 2019 she traveled to Israel in part to research Israeli agricultural technology advances, but also to demonstrate that Democrats remained in the pro-Israel camp. "When I started to see recently there was a partisan divide, I felt as the leading Democrat in the state of Florida as a swing state. it was my obligation to stand up and say 'We are here. I am supporting Israel. I am supporting the American-Israeli relationship,'" she told the Tampa Bay Times at the time.
