America’s Momentum President Maria Bello spoke with Joe Pags Thursday to discuss her escape from the failed socialist nation of Venezuela and what she sees happening right here in the United States.

“What was going on in Venezuela that made you want to get out of there?” asked Pagliarulo.

“My family was involved in politics… I decided I wanted to get into politics. I wanted to help people. I was speaking out against socialism and I had to leave the country,” explained Bello.

“People here have no idea what real socialism actually is,” she added.
