The hilarious stupidity of GOP's fentanyl claims.

[Gunnar]

The Republicans' claims regarding the border and fentanyl smuggling are beyond stupid. MTG, for one, is fond of claiming that the record amount of fentanyl seized at the Mexican/USA border is proof that, because of the current Democrat administration, we now have an effectively open border between us and Mexico. How can they fail to see the glaring self-contradiction in that?

Either we have an open border, or we are doing the best job ever in intercepting and seizing fentanyl at the border! Both cannot be true! Does anyone really fail to see that! I can't help finding this inherently self-contradictory claim exceedingly hilarious!

They said the same thing at the State of the Union.

When Biden mentioned the opioid crisis in America Republicans made fools of themselves again by screaming "It's YOUR FAULT." At first I couldn't figure out how in the world that could be considered Biden's fault but then I realized the FOX News talking point about how all the Fentanyl junk is coming from Mexico and they're turning this into a border issue.

The problem is more than 85% of all Fentanyl traveling from Mexico is being brought here by US Citizens not illegal immigrants. Don't believe me? Here is the Right Wing outfit CATO Institute: Fentanyl Is Smuggled for U.S. Citizens By U.S. Citizens, Not Asylum Seekers

Yes. I remember that. They simply don't care what the truth is. All they care about is what they can invent or spin to discredit Democrats and progressives, whether true or not.

That's because Republicans are too stupid to make an actual argument. Lying is much easier for them, because that's all their crappy IQ's can manage.
