31. Here's a video of him referring to certain places that are NOT states as states.

And here's one where he wrongly talks about Antonio Jose de Sucre.



And he posted on his twitter that over 100 million indígenas were exterminated by the "Indigenous Holocaust" after Columbus's arrival. While it's true that many of them were indeed killed by the Spanish settlers, they sure as hell were NOT over 100 million.

The man is an ignorant fool. I'm sure you wouldn't want an ignorant fool like him to be your president now, would you? And this is nothing against his profession as a bus driver. I'm sure there have been plenty of world leaders that started from the bottom and worked themselves up. Maduro, on the other hand, only stayed at the bottom, and got to where he is due to his close relationship with Chávez.

Let's not forget he admittedly showed up at a private performance of the Cirque Du Soleil show "Dralion" that was recently playing in Caracas. I'm pretty sure that's a show that only the rich (read, "burgueses&quot can afford to go to, so it's kinda hypocritical on his part to partake in "burgues" activities when he speaks so offensively against them.
