  1. Gotta love these soulless 'news' 'casters'….. the guy was probably a nationalist, who actually cared about his country and it's people. Can't have that these days…….

  2. Another Christian conservative, I bet. And you can bet our CIA was behind it.

  3. Killing political rivals is the worst kind of attack in democracy.

  4. CIA, Drugs Cartels , Corrupt Politicians are the one behind this just keep in mind JUSTICE IS FROM GOD AND THERE IS NO HIDING FROM IT 🙏

  5. Western Europeans for sure

  6. The drug cartels will pay. If not in this life, in the next life. At the great white throne judgment before God, people that do these things will be thrown into the lake of fire for eternity. All the pleasures of the world they enjoyed will mean nothing when they see their fate for eternity.

  7. Well, the problem of Ecuador 🇪🇨 is that it is in the center of the two cocaine-producing countries worldwide, such as Colombia and Peru 🌎 this would be for the Ecuadorian brothers 😬

  8. This is heartbreaking man. He was a good man. Those drug cartels are ruthless. I am part Ecuadorian. My condolences to them over there. 🙏🇪🇨 🇺🇲

  9. Q lamentable lo.q ha pasado en Ecuador.por.estos criminals les corruptos.Q.D.P. un.hombre.honorable,correcto y valorable como.pocos q.hay.en ese.pais en la politica q es una lacra!!!

  10. Sometimes, dictatorship and the martial law is needed to make a country better. Shame on the person who murdered him!

  11. mexican Cartels Biden open the border more. allow more illegal immigrants in

  12. Ecuador needs to close it's borders, we need to stop letting people from Colombia and Venezuela in, and start from scratch again or else ecuador is going to become a mini mexico or colombia in the future

  13. Of course he was gun down he didn't fit the corrupt regime…smh…this type of shhh has been going on forever…and I don't just mean this gang narrative that they're going to throw at you…way more people in power involved in this…I would bet my life

  14. Ecuador has a Oligarchy group of some of it's most wealthy family's that are large land owners and bankers or business owners, along with generals, and investors of Petro Ecuador that has been a corrupt corporation for decades, they tend to believe there entitled to everything in Ecuador, and that money reaches to also such powerful family's in the USA. as many think that the drug trafficking is done from just family cartels, or the many low class drug workers, but to move so many drugs the cartels are assisted by theses elite wealthy family's often also in political power or in such high offices. but the police have been cracking down on the drug trafficking so both the elite and the cartels wanted the presidential candidate dead, as such elite are not getting the money out of petrol Ecuador as they once could, and they need then the drug money so that still such wealthy family's can put there puppet in power, so that they can still get such concessions for there corporations. but similar to the USA, OR Canada we all think that the left political side or the right political side, not knowing that the same families control all the old political parties.

  15. It's really not surprising in these countries 🤪 our country is on the same path because of all the corruption in our government. 🤪🇺🇲

  16. Should’ve listened to the Mexicans. Because they were only following orders from the north

  17. 🕊️🙏🏼🕊️

  18. Giving the Biden's FBI and DOJ ideas.

  19. Look to the Chinese regime …

  20. This is so sad to take a preasous life. GOD bless and keep the family strong in this time.

  21. ANOTHER US CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY ( CIA ) HIT ON THOSE THAT FIGHT AGAINST CORRUPTION, but the MSM will blame organized crime, but it was the president that had him indited and put in jail, JUST LIKE BIDEN REGIME USING THE DOJ

  22. I cane just for the idiotic comments.
