Haley's weird obsession with blaming China for what Mexico is doing is like Democrats blaming violent crime on carmakers who don't install anti-theft devices. Kind of makes you wonder, why not mention, you know, the criminals?

Ann Coulter (townhall.com) "Do you care about fentanyl, New Hampshire? Every year, more than 400 of your fellow Granite Staters die from drug overdoses, mostly from fentanyl.
"Nikki Haley promises to keep the fentanyl pipeline open.
"You can't have missed it -- she says it at every speech, debate, town hall, roundtable, meet-and-greet, TV interview and casual conversation: --
" 'We have to kick this where it starts. And that means you go to China and say, 'We will end all normal trade relations with you until you stop killing Americans.' We have to be that firm, we have to be that tough."
" 'As president, I will push Congress to revoke permanent normal trade relations until the flow of fentanyl ends. Do you care about fentanyl, New Hampshire?

Ann Coulter Jan 17, 2024 -- "As president, I will push Congress to revoke permanent normal trade relations until the flow of fentanyl ends. If China wants to start normal trade again, it has to stop killing Americans."-
"And we will go to China and say, 'We're going to end all normal trade relations with you until you stop murdering Americans with fentanyl.' You watch how fast they fix that."
"Literally none of our fentanyl comes from China. One hundred percent of the fentanyl in this country is made in Mexico and brought in from Mexico. A border wall would end the flow of fentanyl (and opioids and meth) to our country tomorrow. In fact, a wall is the only thing that will end the fentanyl crisis.
"But Haley will be damned if she'll mention Mexico within 50 miles of the word "fentanyl." Might remind Americans of our wide-open border (which she intends to keep wide open). Fentanyl could walk in wearing a sombrero, trailed by a mariachi band, and Haley would still say it's from China.
"If you care about fentanyl deaths, this is worse than forgetting slavery when talking about the Civil War. Back in 2015, China did supply fentanyl to the U.S., selling it on the dark web and sending it through the mail. That ended in April 2019, when the Chinese government agreed to ban all forms of fentanyl and fentanyl-related substances." . . .
