US EditionWhite House Faces Intense Backlash for Posting Unedited Racial Slur in Video About Venezuelan Dictator Nicolás Maduro's Capture
The video showing celebrations after Maduro's capture was filmed in Doral, Florida, a city with nearly 40% Venezuelan residents, and included AI-generated footage, Snopes confirmed.
- On Jan. 3, 2026, local footage purportedly from Venezuela was shown to be recorded in Doral, Florida, at the Chevron station at 10191 N.W. 58th St., near El Arepazo restaurant.
- TikTok user @Ricardo28 posted the livestream that started the chain of shares, and Nick Shirley, YouTuber, reposted the footage to X on Jan. 3, 2026, while artificial intelligence software generated some footage.
- Snopes matched the clip’s pump number and a two-story house to Google Maps street view, showing people wrapped in Venezuelan flags celebrating at a Chevron gasoline station, while El Arepazo Instagram profile documented the gathering.
- Snopes and readers quickly challenged the clip’s authenticity, debunking miscaptioned videos while WPLG and The Miami Herald reported 'hundreds of Venezuelans' at the Doral station as Caracas remained quiet.
- A viral video circulating claims Maduro’s capture was celebrated in Doral, Florida, not Venezuela, amid debates over U.S. actions and political implications, with no specific timing given.
