Followers of self-proclaimed president Juan Guaido blow bullhorns and “shoot lasers directly in our eyes and have sexually assaulted one of the women in our organization,” said Medea Benjamin, co-founder of Code Pink, which along with the Answer Coalition and Popular Resistance have been safeguarding the embassy since Venezuelan diplomats vacated the building a month ago.
