In her testimony before the Subcommittee on Western Hemisphere of the US House International Relations Committee Dr Purcell stated:

<snip>

"Chavez then decided to use the electoral system to win the presidency and subsequently used democratic rules of the game to concentrate ever more power in his own hands.

Civilian coups, whether engineered by autocratic populist opposition leaders or incumbent presidents who use democratic processes to undermine democracy, constitute serious challenges for the future of democracy in Latin America and for U.S. policy."

</snip>

Ummm...do you know what "irony" means Dr Purcell?
