Why Elliott Abrams is Smurf villain Gargamel

In this episode of Red Lines, Anya Parampil explains why the villain from the cartoon The Smurfs Gargamel is the perfect cartoon metaphor for Trump Administration Special Representative for Venezuela Elliott Abrams. Abrams is not only the spitting image of Gargamel; the Smurfs are a fairly clear representation of a society organized along socialist lines. Gargamel, meanwhile, mirrors Abrams and the US empire in his obsession with destroying their communal way of life and stealing their resources.
