Biden's team is casting Republicans as the 'defund' law enforcement party as a means of countering claims from the GOP that Biden is responsible for the fentanyl crisis.
The White House is ramping up its efforts to paint President Joe Biden as"tough" on fentanyl, even as Republican lawmakers have proposed significant escalations in America's war on drugs.
In a statement, White House spokesman Andrew Bates took that message one step further and directly accused Republicans of aiding cartels by refusing to cooperate with the administration and actively calling for the defunding of federal law enforcement agencies, including the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives and the FBI.
Additionally, a number of GOP lawmakers and all three 2024 Republican presidential primary candidates have widened their proposals for dealing with the deadly drug to include calls for military action against Mexican cartels trafficking fentanyl into the U.S. via the southern border.
